Always buy the best sounding speakers that are within your budget. You will get the most enjoyment, and you will be content with your achievement. There are always going to be speakers come out that are better. Do not allow yourself to try and achieve perfection....it will never happen. Always purchase within your budget. Always try and look at your system subjectively. Do you hear issues with your system? Do you notice weaknesses within your system? If no, then try and keep control of your OCD. If needed, get your average Joe, have them listen to your rig....then listen to them praise how great your system sounds and how they wished they had something like what you have. Sometimes all we need is some sort of assurance that you have reached some sort of pinnacle of perfection. It is easier for a novice to convince you, then buying something " You think " will improve your system. If you paid a lot for the upgrade, but degraded the sound of your system.....That is even a bigger let down..... Yes, I have OCD too. It isn't easy.
Thanks Dr. Sphincter it is helpful advicr
So true. I'm currently comparing the A500s to the S300s paired with a tube amp and I'm making myself sick trying to decide which set up I like best. Both are really good. Sometimes I think I hear a bigger soundstage with the S300s, but then the A500s will blow me away with their dynamics and accurate drum sound.
Zeos: *finishes video after 43 seconds
also Zeos: *makes it a 43 minutes video anyways
Because they deserve it ^_^
Me: *watches all 43 minutes
That's because z is a woman and he likes to talk a lot.
Yes he went on a bit and didn’t really offer any information or comparison sound wise.
Your reviews are FCKN hilarious, that's why Mads loves you.
Hi Z. You have previously reviewed Genelec 8341b or 8351b how would you compare them to A500 if I may ask?
16:23 I am so unbelievably happy you left this in the video
Compared to the Bowers & Wilkins Formation Duo which one would you choose?
I smashed the play button on this vid as quick as humanly possible.
how do these compare to the Genelec 8341 you reviewed? If they were free, which would you prefer to keep for yourself?
I’m wondering the same. Zeos was also exceptionally impressed with the Genelec 8241’s too. Suspect there isn’t a “best”, it all depends on what you’re looking for. Suspect the Genelecs are more detailed and more suited to listening at close distances (near field monitors). Whereas the A500’s have a more cohesive sound and better at listening from further away (living room distances). What makes both speakers impressive is the computer based DSP tuning.
@@sheffsteel7 As opposed to hamster on hamster wheel based dsp? 🙃
Snorted my milk after the spider murder and "it's fakin December" hahaha
These or the Edifier S3000pro that you said you would bring them on a desert island if you had to choose only a pair of speaker?
@zeos ....what's your answer to this. S3000 pro or these?
I can't wait for the A700 review... I will own those one day. Excited to eventually see the A500's end up in a yard sale!
Spiders will hunt other bugs for you, they are your friends. Don’t kill them 😊
I agree, but I had dozens of them and I saved as many as I could. Now in the winter there are no bugs to hunt, his Brethren will return in the spring I am sure.
@@ZReviews oh my my, I got a reply from Zeos!! Nice 2020 ending! His Brethren will for sure return next summer 😊
I pre-ordered these a little while ago. Should receive them somewhere early next year. Glad to see this review confirms my decision.
Before these came out I was considering something like the Hegel H190 with the Dynaudio Special Forty which together would cost more (not even counting the cables). But these Buchardts are much more convenient with less wires (less clutter) which is also an important criteria for me. With how everything is tuned to work together well in this speaker it should also be about as good (or maybe even better) than the other combo.
I now have an old (much cheaper) setup (yamaha amp & b&w speakers) that I used for two decades, so I felt I could make a bit of a splash with my next setup.
I was looking at a similar setup driven by Hegel H190 or H390. At that level the A500s start to look like a surprisingly good value.
Impressions after one year?
@@gatobakuniano Room correction works only on iOS which is the largest remaining con besides maybe the remote which is a bit glitchy. There is now finally an Android app which is good. There were wireless dropout issues that almost made me return them and were finally(!!!) fixed recently but they seem perfectly stable now. SQ is very good after room correction, especially with the newest mid forward tunings (there have been several generations by now). It's amazing how much clean low end these small boxes can produce and I do get the imaging and soundstage that Zeos refers to which also speaks to good high frequency response. The mids are nicely fleshed out, it's hard to tell it's class D amplification since it's not dry at all. Overall I'm very happy with these speakers and I think they will do very well in most moderately sized (anything that is not huge) rooms and apartments. You may want to go with the A700 if you have a very large room. Maybe a slight worry is that the media box and the remote (the latter being machined quite well) are of questionable quality and are sometimes quirky. But not so quirky that they put me off of these speakers for now.
"What if spiders are attracted to my passion?? Fuck." - Zeos Pantera
Which do you prefer, the Buchardt A500 or the Ohm Walsh 2000?
Proud owner of A700 literally best speakers i could buy, simple to use full range speakers :-) no subwoofer needed :-) btw
Didn’t have any issues with the remote :-)
Thanks :-) for your :-) comment :-)
How do these compare to Swans and Edifier 6.5" models?
These are obviously better, but how much in your opinion?
I died laughing when you just kicked the dead spider aside.
I have these for a month now and I'm in love
Madzz is a Fucking MAD scientist.
Because what he does with "NORMAL" paper cone drivers worth max $400 total and makes $4500 speakers and make them sound like $30k speakers is just out of this world.
What about the lifespan of a set like this? When technical protocols and systems change over time, will this set still be viable? Will I be able to use it for 15 years?
Zeos, how do they compare to Ohm Walsh 2000?
Awesome job explaining all the details and nuances of these speakers!!!! Prior to this review, I was not getting it....Thank you!!! I have a pair of the s300's and s400's...love them both for different reasons...love Mads sense of design & sound...the benefits...no hassle with amps/hooking up speakers...perfectly matched...no room issues, etc....going to watch these speakers evolve...(fix that remote to replace the battery...eeeks...don't lose that allen wrench and that slider thing that does too much...too close)....Thank You Zeos!!! You are a Great Truth Teller and Funny!!! Funny in providing me an occasional chuckle....also glad to see your fireplace back in action! I got one similar because of yours....Thank you!!! "I need 10 pairs of these...My Kids Won't Go To College."
Jesus christ, if THAT'S a big spider... don't come to Australia.
The thing is it’s the small spiders that really kill you in Australia
love your reviews, my other fave HiFi content provider is John Darko, he loved these too, his style and your style are about a light year apart but you both know what kit sounds epic.
Looking forward to your A700 review. Btw, once you set up wifi via google home, the front LED does continue to blink, but eventually goes away; can’t explain how. Love the work, keep them coming. 👍
Mine doesn't blink at all after setting it up via the Google home app.
Dat spider, lol!
Yeah I think I'll also get these speakers. I keep doubting, doubting, doubting but this must be the best choice for me.
That basement is a great space to do reviews in. I would dim the lights outside of the area I was filming in and create an intimate space effect for the review. But, I have no idea what I'm on about and have never made a video. I think I see great potential for that basement though.
Thanks Zeos! Another product I will buy because of you. Thanks u r the best.
Buchardt makes amazing speakers for sure.
So when they put together a surround system the DSP and room correction will make them the only surround setup worth having??
"4500 dollars is a bargain because its got lights on it."
I can't argue with that logic.
I'll be in awe looking at his Christmas tree. 😁
So I can't afford these speakers.....but I still watched the whole video. The speakers are really interesting, and Z is hilarious!
The thing that gets me interested is that you can start of with two audiophile speakers and add to it to do home theater without having both two channel stereo amp and HT receiver. Please do another review of the A700 and WISA for HT.
I couldn't agree more. This is a product that's VASTLY ahead of the rest. I mean there are other good powered speakers out there like Q-Active 200's, KEF LS-50 ii's, the ELAC Navis Arb-51's, Kii 3's, even the cheap Klipsch the 5's... all of which I've considered buying. But this speaker is the only one I don't worry about in the long run. It's almost like a stock market investment that will end up giving much more back to you.
And their usage is incredibly versatile. I can stream, I can Bluetooth, I can use ROON...If I wanna use them as studio monitors connected to XLR (in stereo, probably not in surround) I can. Home theater, sure. Gaming, absolutely! (Hopefully and maybe even in Dolby atmos at some point!)
And improvements are coming, from the future HT options, a SUBWOOFER whose offload might even improve the A500 frequency a bit, the user interface on the app, the master tunings list, possibly even bug/connectivity fixes/improvements either with the speakers or the hub. I mean there is a LOT to look forward to. It's the first time I've seen a HiFi setup that functions like a modern video game that receives constant bug fixes, graphics improvements, new DLCs and level additions etc.
Not to mention, since it's active, it reduces my peripheral needs; It reduces the work that goes into finding DAC's, Amps, and streamers with the right "synergy." And they sound great.
Buchardt has given us these things...something we can live with for YEARS! What more could we ask for?
A700 is not audiophile. Even A500 measures very good. It is not audiophile. It is brilliant measured speaker.
Thanks, I am getting these. Not sure when but I'll get them😎
Ordered mine this week....can. not.wait! 🤩
I agree…………… they are pretty fucking amazing. Trouble is, they discontinued them and put out the A10. Yah they rock a Unifi driver. But these 500’s will come back when the A10 have been weighed and measured and found lacking in comparison. My hope is that in the future A500 build. It will utilize two 6.5 Unifi drivers with a deeper and slightly taller cabinet. End game!!!
I had a set of KEF LS50 wireless for about ten months before the amps died in the left channel. Turns out it’s a common problem with the speakers. I sold them after repair. KEF warranties the LS50W’s internal electronics for only one year. That’s a red flag, IMO. I love the simplicity of actives, but am leery about going down that road again.
Why on G-d's green earth did you decide to mount them to stands, which are screwed into subwoofers and which put your tweeters at approx. 45" off the ground?
I've pre-ordered mine, coming in Feb next year. Can't wait. What is the bass response like? Do you get much sub-bass? For me, I am very sceptical these speakers can produce anything near floorstanders, but I really hope to be wrong.
So long as the room allows it, Yes.
It is not bass like a separate sub, but you have realise how small they are. It is impressive for their size and I haven’t heard some tracks sound so good.
Chewbacca: What ? What ? .. But I like spiders ! FFFINE.. I'll eat "MY" food.
Came for the speakers.
Stayed for the spider slaughter.
Great video - really entertaining. I am seriously considering getting these in the next few months. Spending this amount, the 45 day trial and return for a set cost is reassuring
“These shit on everything...”. Now that’s a review!
is this the end game for bookshelves+amp+dac+sub combo ?
Can I share something?
I've watched your reviews and listened to your sound demos. And you've shown us insanely awesome speakers. The very best of the best.
However, that being said?
These Danish speakers made me come.
There is no higher form of praise.
Nirvana.
Even though i'm not that Mads, it's still great to hear Zeos giving it his best try with the pronunciation. When realy trying in the beginning it was just the "mass" but somehow got better into the video.
and as a fellow Mads, he was probaly drunk, just something we do
These cost more than your Ohm Walsh 2000/speaker stands.
My cat will kill spiders, or any bug she sees moving on the floor, & also will catch flies or other flying insects out of the air.
Second review i watch for these beauties, both raving!
I want to know if they sound as good if fed from a high end DAC though, is the DSP magic gonne? Are they just OK if you give them analog?
I'm currently saving for these and plan to use them near field. 34" away from my ear. They will replace my Klipsch Fives
Can you recommend any relatively inexpensive but good passive soundbar or long center speaker which has the appearance of a soundbar?
Z, could you get the kii audio three pro??!!!!😺
Got the A700's tail end of November ,can confirm you won't need to buy a sub ....ever ;)
Zeos: "There's other issues with the remote"
Me: Blue LEDs
Looks like he never actually setup the hub connecting it to the Google home app. Once that's done there's no blinking and when it's in standby the light is off.
They are actually far to bright and obscure the text on the remote.
Ah yes, the feeling of experiencing audio systems that cost more than your car, not because of how expensive the audio system is but because of how cheap your car was... I know it well. Need to hear some Buchardts. Feels as though nary a week passes where I don't run into yet another review about how astoundingly good their speakers are. Beside the MBL 101 X-Treme, which doesn't even exist as far as my wallet is concerned, I'm not sure I've ever seen so much consensus in the audio review community about speakers being so good.
Ahhhh Mr Zeos at his finest ! 👌🏼 16:25 “Giant Spider” 😂😂. Bro don’t come to Africa, that thing is like a baby of a small spider over here!!
Why would anyone leave America to live in Africa?
Because we don’t have the Public Toilets known as Democrats, Liberals, BLM, JoeDumbassBiden, NancyRetardedPelosi, Critical Race Theory, and Open ‘let all the Cartels in’ Borders
Epidemic Sounds has a library of music, register your channel with them for about $10 a month (first month is free iirc). See if they have anything you fancy and you don't have to worry about copyright if they do.
I was thinking the same thing.
I cant recall the last time you linked to a pair of Swans that was actually available for sale. Anywhere. The pandemic hasnt helped, but even before the pandemic Swans seemed to revel in advertising 'Out of Stock' speakers.
But how do you set up your speakers in this big room with a looooong distans to the side walls?
How does this compare to Genelecs you reviewed?
I was waiting for the clusterfuck
Have you received the a700’s yet? I have a set of the a500’s but am lusting for even more.
Is rich person problems
Because of the cat..I now believe everything you've reviewed.
Why is it on usb, when it has wireless connection? Nice features by the way :)
Maybe load the files via USB in the transmitter. Is there no network connectivity in the transmitter?
Is the story behind your listening throne available anywhere. I think I saw you comment about it elsewhere, but there wasn't a backstory. Tell it.
I've watched a few z reviews over the years when it's about audio gear I'm interested in. This is the first in a while. Obviously the channel has grown substantially considering he now has enough income from this to have a seperate warehouse for his reviews. Rock on!
so this is his basement lol. he got a house
He does reviews in an unfinished basement with no drywall or flooring etc. hardly fancy surroundings.
@@gordonm6128 lol fair enough. Although he still upgraded from a small apartment! I forgot about basements, few houses in Australia have them.
I'm no spider expert but I always thought spiders came indoors during the winter so they don't freeze, also LOL when the cat almost ate the spider haha!!
Not a bad review. Debating the speakers for a KISS system (Keep It Simple Stupid). But I got a great quote for a pair of floor demo Klipsch Forte III plus a network player, a power conditioner, cables and interconnects for the same price as the A500, maybe a few hundred less! I don't think these little speakers will match the sheer size and grand scale of the Forte III, they may and probably do image a hell of a lot better, but those Forte's are just magical...well, least to me. Did Zeo say something about the Klipsch RF7 III? I couldn't understand the video.
Dreamcast launch was a dream back in 1999, ps5 and xbox launch a nightmare in a nightmare time ha
Yeah but how does it handle "Clean Up Your Mess" from the Foreigner Soundtrack (Cliff Martinez) ?
How does this compare with Swan M3A?
Would love to see comparison to the System Audio's powered speakers.
ruclips.net/video/Jd7Ohv5i9-E/видео.html
Me and active speakers don't have the best relationship. Amps in active speakers like to quit working in a few years.
These are the best ...until the next speakers he reviews
BINGO!
Especially if they are on Amazon 🤣
Can't wait for him to get his Hands on a Pair of A700's🥰🥰
Nice review. Cant whait for the a700.
Ps. what the hell are those marshmallows doing under the speakers
Listening to this video with my S400, wondering if i should do the upgrade.
Buy a Behringer DEQ2496
@@edwardbalboa5528 OMG, thank you so much! I have been looking for something like this since I am considering a Crown amp :D
i've never wanted to drop 5Gs on a product more in my entire life
Your an easy mark
Someone's going to say it so I might as well do it now. That was a saxophone not a trumpet @Zeos
How are they versus Ohm Walsh?
Wish I had a tankless hot water system, yeah baby!
16:10 *PETA HAS ENTERED THE CHAT*
So you do not know anyone with an iPhone so you could try the room correction?
Thanks!
Look forward to your review on the A700 & I wonder how it compares to the B&W formation duo
I've been looking for your review of any Tekton Speakers. I would like to hear what you have to say about them. You have good audiophile judgement. I'm trying to get around the hype on these. Need an honest review. Thanks, Mark
Can you imagine the size of the spider that will be in the A700 review?
noooooooooooo
How do these compare to klipsch Cornwall iv and/or heresy iv?
Dude you have RP level speakers. Why tf are you talking a out cornwalls and stuff you cant afford?
Zeos we need an A700/A500 home theater review.
15:00 - No, that's not what 2.5 way means. It's means there's overlap between the front and rear woofer. Rear woofer is never passive. Google KEF Q55. Same thing.
Or just look at the charts Mads helpfully includes with the master tuning files. It's pretty clear the difference between 3 way and 2.5 way.
How do they do all these tunings? With digital crossovers? Cheers.
Yeah the DSP is controlling all four amps.
Correction, 6 amps.
How do A400s sound with a $2500 amp? There should be a DIY to 500 upgrade with 4 mono amps and mini dsp or some tube centric build that costs the same as 500s.
Yes because all you need to know about an amp is the price right 😆
@@edithboozy1000 I thought that price would bring them in line with the 500s.
I think it is a very interesting question: how does the A500 Sound in a smaller room compared to your concerct Hall? ;d
I shouldnt have clicked the video...
BUT! I am sure Ill have more self restraint on speakers compared to headphones. I ordered Adam T5Vs two days ago and Im sure Ill be happy with them, especially since I have neighbours which I would rather not upset unnecessarily :)
Why choose these ones over the set up of Klipsch heresy 4 with subs that you made???? I just care about sound.
These are better for sound. The Heresy are more impressive with Girth but these are technically better if every regard.
Zeos: Two things. One be careful of spiders, they like to get in your electronics. I talk to mine. I say you get over there that’s your space. This is mine. Anybody that violates that is dayid . Now you talked about Holographic. That is what my Von Schweikert VR-4 Generation 2 gives me. I heard the A-700s and they have a little more low sub base. When you audition them could you please use the Virgil Fox Riverside Church organ or the Crystal Cathedral organ in CA ( 16 Hz pedal) and play Toccata and and Fugue? Maybe Passacaglia and Fugue? Theng cue.
About the subwoofer LED. My theory is that the plate amplifier unit is a fairly generic OEM product that can be installed in a variety of product types. Buchardt is not "manufacturing" anything in the classical sense. There is nothing wrong with that as even high-end speaker manufactores do this.
Emotiva Stealth 8 = Absolutely Correct
Buchardt A500 = ?....
How does A500 perform with a separate DAC and bypassing DSP?
How would you bypass the DAC and DSP?
@@justlookingaround9834 my bad regarding this. I was hoping you could use your own interface AD/DA and bypass A500 DAC. I was wrong 🤦♂️
@@bloodsweattones would sort of defeat the idea of a one box solution. Nothing wrong in being wrong. 😀
@@bloodsweattones yes, completely defeat the purpose of buying this over the standard s400. What a spiffing idea.
Review Naim Uniti Atom,/Star/Nova you'll be blown away by the remote. The best remote that ever existed.
