Buchardt Audio A700 Floorstanding Loudspeakers These active Buchardt A700s really punch above their weight, they go seriously deep and look great while doing it!Out of the box you can feed them via Balanced inputs, but I'm supplying a Platin Stereo Hub which turns them into a fully wireless streaming solution with Roon, Airplay 2, Spotify Connect (and upcoming Qobuz Connect support). It also supports HDMI, 3 x Optical inputs, 1 x Coax, 1 x USB and even analog RCA inputs.Buchardt has downloadable Master Tunings that modify the DSP to tune for things like being close to a wall.As John Darko says
Ambitious asking price at AUD 5,900 for this Buchardt A700—sits above the recent used market median of AUD 5,654 (from three comparable AUD listings, with 25th percentile at AUD 4,363 and 75th at AUD 5,738). It's just shy of the top quartile, so unless pristine with full docs, negotiate down to mid-range for fair value; these floorstanders hold strong resale but rarely command premiums without upgrades.
Buyers, verify the drivers for surround delamination—a known A700 weak spot after 3+ years—and check serial numbers against Buchardt's records for warranty remnants. Insist on original dual-mono amps, spikes, and grilles included; test for port chuffing at high volumes to rule out cabinet resonances. Solid buy if it passes, but walk if provenance is fuzzy.
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.
