ANNIVERSARY 10 Pre Order (No Affiliation): buchardtaudio.com/products/an...
This is my video review of the brand new speakers from Buchardt Audio. This is the Anniversary 10 Speaker which celebrates 10 years of Buchardt being in business.
I have previously reviewed the P200, S400MKII and the SE S400 MKII. I loved them all for their warmth, soulful sound and punch.
The Anniversary 10 are an all new animal as they include a new Woofer from Purify, A real wood sealed enclosure, an all new tweeter for Buchardt and it's all made in house in DENMARK.
These speakers are unreal in the way they push out the tight, tuneful and extremely controlled bass. I have never heard this kind of bass from ANY speaker let alone a small on like this.
The highs are now extended and with so many master tunings you can customize the sound to your room. These are simply amazing, beautiful and IMO a bargain.
If you have been looking for a true high end hifi audio stereo system, this is the first place to start looking if you are simply love to stream music. HIGHLY recommended.
These are replacing the Buchardt 500's.
Enjoy!

@HiFiHuff 8 ай бұрын

Prob not as Sonus is not a company who send me anything for review. With some companies (no idea if SF is like this) one must agree to certain things, and I do not do that. I stopped playing the game 3 years ago in camera reviews. I decided to never play that game with audio reviews. Therefore I will always be limited to showcasing what I buy or gear from companies who are not worried about what I will say in the review. I do have some dealers who send me things for reviews but some of them have to get "permission" from the manufacturer and many times they say no. I think if a company is proud of their product they should let it be reviewed. I do not do negative reviews anyway as if it's bad or something I do not like I just do not review it. This is not a business for me as I do not make money. Instead this channel costs me money so it's tough to get all of the gear in for review as I do not play the game. Maybe I should start but that's sort of like selling my soul.

@michaelkaliski7651 26 күн бұрын

What I take from this is that digital technology has reached the stage where any shortcomings can be corrected by a computer built into the speaker cabinet. You play a known noise through the speakers and record the sound while you wander around the listening area with your phone. The system then calibrates itself to produce a corrected version of any future playback material so that it sounds the best it can. So no need for any other equipment, just these two boxes and a streaming source. Everything is just digitally calibrated to sound as great as possible without user intervention. The end of hifi and super high end systems is nigh because this technique can correct for anything, in theory. There is nowhere else to go from here…

@TheKimNeeper 10 ай бұрын

The best mid/woofer drivers on the planet, Google Purifi, there's extreme innovation in those drivers, basically they can go to full 20 mm linear excursion in the bass, without any audible distortion to the midrange. This 6,5" driver produces as much bass as normal 8" drivers, so it's more like having a 3 way floor standing, without the crossover between the bass and midrange and compact size. Also, being DSP driven, they are boosted in the deep end, and with excursion limiters, so it will sound far larger than it is.
