#5 Buchardt A700: $6,600 Buchardt Audio eBay
Pros: The standard tuning measures a 1.8dB response span from 300Hz to 5kHz and scores 6.87 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.
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.
How it compares: Just above it: Pitt & Giblin Superwax Mini - $8575 more. Just below it: B&O Beolab20 - $8400 more, 40W more output power.
