Our Thoughts RADAR AI

A$5,500 is fair-to-strong value, not a bargain-basement steal, but it sits below the original A$7,800 asking/RRP and looks well judged for a very good-condition special edition with the hub/stand package. The closest used comp here shows a prior A$5,000 ask on an A500 listing, so this one is a touch firmer than the lowest visible market level, but still reasonable for a cleaner, better-specified set.

The appeal is the A500’s combo of DSP tuning, active amplification, and genuinely high-end bass extension for a compact box; reviews praise its neutral voicing and big-room confidence, with the WiSA/Hub setup adding real convenience. If the original packaging is included and the stands are part of the sale, that helps a lot; for a well-kept pair like this, the main buyer check is simply that the hub, remote, and all speaker functions are complete and operating cleanly.

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.
