Buchardt e50 reviews


Looks like the first review is out. Very positive. I've been interested in the Buchardt E50 speakers (and the March Audio Sointuva AWG). I'm a bit surprised the reviewer hadn't heard of Sointuva (a commenter asked about this).

No experience with the new E50s but I do own a pair of A10s. They do exacly what I need them to do and more and they sound great for the $$$.

I have a pair of Buchardt s400 mkii speakers in a second system. I’m very happy with them. At some point I think I need to drag them upstairs and give them a go in my main system. While I don’t see myself purchasing the new e50 models I’m a big fan of how they look.

If any forum member buys them, please do share your observations with us! 

I’m also interested in the E50, but having never heard a Buchardt speaker, I wonder what the house sound is like. For someone who has spent many years with British speakers (Harbeth, Falcon LS3/5a), would Buchardt be a reasonable choice?

Erin will get one and he has a review of the Sointuva AWG. So I'd say wait on that

@drubin - I’ve demoed Harbeth speakers but have never owned a pair. I’d say the Buchardt have more bass than the Harbeth. To my ears, Buchardt speakers are a little more rich and warm sounding. I recommend driving them with a more powerful amp though. I drive them with an Audio Hungary 100 watt tube amp and sound amazing. I also occasionally drive them with a Luxman 590axii which is a 30 watt class A amp and the results are very good. 
 

From my auditions with the Harbeths, I prefer the Buchardt s400 mkii speakers. This is of course based on my gear and room…

 

What amp would you drive them with?
