Buchardt A500 SE palisander special edition with platin hub Standmount Loudspeakers selling this immaculate condition pair of special edition A500 in Palisander finish with platin hub. This contains pair of purifi woofers. Original packaging all included. The stands are not sold separately, but speaker can be sold separately if you have already got stands Purchased Jan 2023 Need it gone Condition: Very good Payment Method: Cash, EFT, PayPal (buyer pays fees) Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By sayanbha 0 Comments AUD $5,200 Date: May 26, 20241 yr
Ambitious asking price at AUD 5,200 for a used Buchardt A500 SE Palisander Special—leans high against typical used A500s trading in the AUD 4,000-5,000 range, especially sans stands or hub. New A500s with Platin Hub hit around AUD 7,000 RRP, and clean recent sales (like as-new bundles) dip under AUD 5,500, but the SE Palisander variant commands a premium for its wood finish; without pristine condition or full accessories, this feels like a stretch unless it's barely used.
Buyers, verify the 10-year transferable warranty status directly with Buchardt (receipt and serials essential), and confirm the Platin Hub, remote, iFi PSU, and original boxes are included—missing these slashes value hard. Probe usage hours via app logs and check for woofer excursion issues or cosmetic dings on that palisander veneer, common in active DSP speakers this age.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
