Hey Lula,
I never speak out of ignorance. I have not heard the Buchardts, therefore I cannot comment on them. Shawn is a very good reviewer and I respect his opinions. The DI monitors are killer speakers and do something different then other speakers because of Eric's break through design. If you love speed and a sense of aliveness, pure tonality, great transparency, and very extended bass for a stand mount speaker you will love the DI monitors.
