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).
@dwest1023 - Congrats on the new speakers. It’s sounds like they are a home run. How would you compare them to the Buchardt 400 mkii speakers? What would you describe as the nuanced or stark differences? @artistx - Those Wharfedale Linton speakers get good reviews. I bet they sound great. |
Out of the box, I had my Electrocompaniet integrated(latest model) connected to the E50, and my mouth dropped. The speaker sounded just like how it is described on the Buchardt website. After a period of time, I connected the Hegel 390. The speaker went to a whole new level. I think it was because of the higher wattage and current of the Hegel. The sound was so good,it was if the Hegel was used to voice this speaker. The bass is unreal for a bookshelf speaker. The Hegel's grip on the woofer was uncanny. The Bass started and stopped on a dime. Treble had the sound of cystal clear water and not a hint of brightness. Vocals were, you are there good. The best part is you can listen and very low volume levels and the sound is the same. |
I own the Buchardt 400Mrk two limited edition. This speaker has an upgraded crossover. It has a more extended treble than the regular version. In comparison, the E50 sounds like a floor-standing speaker. The E50 is more neutral and almost monitor-like. Bass is much more extended, as well as the treble. Soundstage MUCH wider and deeper. the E50 still has warmth in the midrange, but less so then the 400. In my room, the E50 comes across as just about perfect for my ears. |
