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 Con...
A$5,500 is a fair-to-strong buy for an A700 in excellent condition; it sits below the roughly A$6,000 street price and well under the A$7,100-ish EU retail level that this model has been seen at, so it looks meaningfully cheaper than new rather than merely “used-price normal”.
What makes it attractive is the A700’s combination of active DSP control, serious power, and genuinely well-reviewed measured performance: it’s built as a 3.5-way sealed floorstander with four class-D amps per pair, and reviews highlight low distortion, strong dynamics, and very good tonal linearity for a speaker this size. If the listing includes the original spikes, feet, grilles, and any wireless/DSP accessories, that strengthens the buy further; given the electronics inside, I’d still want confirmation that everything powers up cleanly and that all control/app functions work as intended.
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.
