Buchardt sells direct and ships its speakers worldwide.1 Its speakers are reviewed abroad. The German site Area DVD made the A10 one of its products of the year for 2024.2 Other awards include a Product of the Year from Stereo+, a Masterpiece award from Area DVD, a Best Buy from The Ear and a SoundStage! award for the A500, and HiFi+, 6moons and HiFi Statement have reviewed its speakers.34
The story
Buchardt Audio started as a small venture in a small Danish town, with the aim of making good speakers at prices people could afford, and grew into a company that ships speakers around the world.5 Office, warehouse, development, assembly and a woodworking workshop now sit under one roof in Silkeborg, where many of the wooden cabinets and stands are made.5
The range includes passive speakers and active speakers with digital signal processing, whose sound can be changed with downloadable tuning profiles.5 The S400, first built as a prototype in 2016, became one of its best-known models and is now in its third version.1
