Our Thoughts RADAR AI

This is a fair ask, maybe a touch soft only if it includes the hub and remote; at A$4,500, it sits close to the A500’s original launch pricing once you account for the fact that the Walnut version was sold around A$4,700 in EU pricing, while the plain speaker version was around A$4,500 before add-ons. Against the used market, that makes it sensible rather than a steal, but not ambitious for a very good-condition pair.

The appeal here is the A500 itself: a compact active design with serious DSP, built-in amplification, and genuinely deep, controlled bass for the size. It’s the kind of speaker that can do a lot right in a normal room without needing a rack full of separate gear, and the Palisander finish adds some rarity/visual appeal if the condition is clean. For a well-kept example, the real question is whether the package is complete—hub, remote, and any original extras can make this feel more compelling at this price.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Buchardt

Buchardt Audio traces its roots to Denmark, where founder Mads Buchardt and his childhood friend Kasper began developing speaker designs in 2008 under the informal banner of Rabu Acoustics, initially selling components like drivers and crossover parts. The company officially launched in 2013 with the S200 and S300 models, leveraging advanced measurement technology—including a pioneering robot that enabled precise waveguide engineering for the groundbreaking S400, the world's first hi-fi speaker designed with such tools.

The brand focuses exclusively on high-performance speakers, offering both passive and active models in bookshelf and standmount categories, such as the acclaimed S400 Mk3 and E50. Production occurs at the ISO-certified Hansong factory in Nanjing, China—a Danish-Chinese partnership emphasizing quality—allowing Buchardt to handcraft audiophile-grade units without venturing into amplifiers, DACs, headphones, or other categories.

Buchardt holds a strong position in the high-end market as a niche boutique innovator, delivering Scandinavian design and "big sound" from compact form factors at accessible prices by skipping traditional dealers. Renowned among audiophiles for precision engineering and value, it redefines expectations for performance-driven hi-fi.
