#8 Buchardt A700: $6,600 per pair Buchardt Audio $6,600 eBay
Same family: the Buchardt A200 (smallest bookshelf, estimated 4.4/5), the Buchardt A10 (bookshelf, rated 4.7/5) and the Buchardt A500 (largest bookshelf, rated 4.6/5).
Pros: Active floorstanding speakers with highly accurate sound, low distortion and a cardioid mode for placement near a wall. The standard tuning measures a 1.8dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz and scores 7.72 with an ideal subwoofer. Low midrange multitone distortion supports clean reproduction at ordinary listening levels. Selectable Master Tunings include cardioid operation for near-wall placement, while an optional Platin hub adds streaming and useful room and manual EQ. Measured bass extension of 51Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Standard-mode bass crosses -3dB around 51Hz but continues to -6dB around 26Hz; it is not flat to the deepest advertised frequencies. Cardioid tuning changes that balance and bass reach substantially. The roughly +/-50-degree horizontal presentation is more focused than wider-radiating alternatives, and vertical listening height needs care. DSP limiting constrains loud full-range playback; a subwoofer with high-pass filtering can improve headroom.
