What reviewers think

Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.

Product Strengths

  • Exceptional bass performance for its compact size, with bass that is fast, clear, and tight
  • Multiple 'Master Tunings' offer customizable sound profiles, adapting to different room acoustics and user preferences
  • A high-quality Purifi woofer and SB Acoustics tweeter contribute to clarity, detail, and low distortion
  • A solid wood cabinet made in Denmark provides a luxurious look and feel

Product Considerations

  • Bass output may diminish or be limited at high volumes to protect the drivers from damage
  • A separate purchase of the Platin Stereo Hub may be required for full wireless functionality and room correction
  • The 'Made in China' label applies to the electronics inside the cabinet
  • While the A10 offers impressive bass, some may still prefer to add a subwoofer for a true full-range experience

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Vs Buchardt S400 Mark II, the A10 is more transparent with greater inner detail, clarity, and top-end extension—and deeper, tighter bass—while the S400 Mark II is more relaxed and forgiving with harsh recordings
  • Vs Buchardt A500, the A10 has comparable performance, with possibly a crisper sound in some instances

Takeaway: The Buchardt Anniversary 10 is a compact yet powerful speaker that offers a customizable listening experience. Its impressive bass and versatile tuning options make it a great choice for those seeking a high-quality audio solution in a small to medium-sized room.

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

  • Buchardt distinguishes itself by using a direct-to-consumer sales model, eliminating distributors and retailers, potentially offering a high level of performance for the price.
  • This brand offers "Mastertunings," DSP settings that allow users to customize the sound profile of their speakers for different room acoustics, placement options, or personal sound preferences.
  • Buchardt speakers often incorporate a passive radiator design to achieve deeper bass extension than typically expected from their cabinet size.
  • Their designs frequently emphasize a wide and evenly distributed soundstage, often incorporating waveguide technology to match the directivity of the tweeter and woofer.

P300:

  • Positioning: Entry-level line, designed for affordability and compactness.
  • Description: Offers a balanced and transparent sound with a deep bass that doesn't require a subwoofer. Compared to the S400 MKII, uses a custom paper cone woofer and a simpler crossover, making it more budget-friendly while still delivering a tight bass and improved transient response, ideal for small to medium rooms with less than perfect acoustics.

S400 MKII:

  • Positioning: Mid-range line, known for its compact design and powerful performance.
  • Description: Celebrated for its deep bass and expansive soundstage, thanks to its large passive radiator and advanced crossover design. Surpasses the P300 with a more refined soundstage and deeper bass.

E50:

  • Positioning: High-end line, crafted for superior sound and build quality.
  • Description: Stands out with its solid wood cabinets and Purifi woofers, offering exceptional transparency and dynamic range. It provides a more detailed and powerful sound compared to the S400 MKII.

Anniversary 10:

  • Positioning: Special edition, celebrating a decade of innovation with advanced features.
  • Description: Features Purifi woofers and a new RFA19 tweeter, delivering exceptional clarity and detail. It offers more flexibility and customization through Mastertunings compared to the E50.

A700 Limited Edition:

  • Positioning: Flagship model, offering the most advanced technology and performance.
  • Description: Incorporates a new RFA19 tweeter and cardioid dispersion, providing superior soundstage and bass control. It surpasses the Anniversary 10 with its ability to handle larger spaces and more complex audio setups.

Our take on the brand

Buchardt Audio is a direct-to-consumer speaker brand that uses an "upside down" design with a back-mounted passive radiator, which helps create high-end sound at more affordable prices. Their speakers are engineered with advanced measurement technology and a proprietary waveguide design that enhances off-axis listening, while delivering deep bass from compact cabinets that rival larger floor-standing speakers.
