I’m also interested in the E50, but having never heard a Buchardt speaker, I wonder what the house sound is like. For someone who has spent many years with British speakers (Harbeth, Falcon LS3/5a), would Buchardt be a reasonable choice?
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).

@drubin - I’ve demoed Harbeth speakers but have never owned a pair. I’d say the Buchardt have more bass than the Harbeth. To my ears, Buchardt speakers are a little more rich and warm sounding. I recommend driving them with a more powerful amp though. I drive them with an Audio Hungary 100 watt tube amp and sound amazing. I also occasionally drive them with a Luxman 590axii which is a 30 watt class A amp and the results are very good. From my auditions with the Harbeths, I prefer the Buchardt s400 mkii speakers. This is of course based on my gear and room…
What amp would you drive them with? |

@kofibaffour thank you. I was not familiar with that speaker manufacturer nor with Erin. I look forward to his review of the E50. @bluethinker thank you for sharing your experience. Interestingly, I also have a Luxman 590axii as well as a Pass INT-25 and a Sugden A21SE, all solid state class A. I’ve moved on from Harbeth (Falcon LS3/5A now for more than a year), but have always felt that “rich” and “warm” are fitting adjectives for the Harbeth sound, so not sure what to make of you feeling Buchardt is more so, but good to know. The E50 may be different. |
