I have no affiliate relationship with Buchardt audio, I just truly feel this is one of the best sounding speakers I have had in for review. Check these out if your looking for something compact with a huge punch and really competent highs!

I was an early adopter of the Purifi 6.5" woofers. I ordered them for import directly from the company, and paid $3,200 for a set of 8, 4 for each custom tower speaker. 2 each in an MTM configuration with a ScanSpeak tweeter with custom waveguide, and 2 for low-end. I also developed the networks specifically for that configuration, refining it through painstaking trial and error. At one point, I had 6 different inductors hot-glued to the side of the cabinet, for rapid A/B-ing, lol. The result, after all was said and done, is the best pair of speakers I've ever heard, personally. I'd choose them over a brand new pair of Soundlab M-1 electrostats in a heartbeat, and I LOVED my Soundlabs. My point in all this is that the Purifi speakers are absolutely phenomenonal.
Ikea is Swedish, not danish 😉
I did realize that in post but I didn’t specifically mention IKEA so I just ran with it haha
I think Matt was referring to Montana Furniture 😉
Very good and thorough review! I think that you really hit the nail on the head in describing what makes the A10's special.
They're really fantastic speakers! I love mine to bits!
Thanks for watching! Nice to hear from an owner as well, really enjoyed these.
Konami Code by Gothcicles (formerly a Madison band that moved to Boston). Danes have the best drinkable yogurt and hearty bread (rugbrod). Great review! I really liked how thorough you are with the features and real-world usability. Your technical / design sensibilities are also appreciated, especially since you also like the more affordable stuff just as much as the many Danish Kroner equipment 😄
Hey Chris, appreciate the watch! Usability is something I really wanted to focus on this year, give people an idea what to expect when they get a product in. Was the Konami code with Contra?
@@MattCoykendall1 up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-b-a-select-start, Contra, 30 guys!
It would be very interesting to compare these to the Dynaudio Focus 10 speakers.

Thanks for the great review Matt.
Questions : how did you pair dmp a6 with the A10 ? Rca on Platon Hub or Xlr on each speaker ?
I actually tried both, ended with it going into the hub so I could utilize the room correction.
Please please come out with a passive version of this speaker!
How are these for low volume listening?
@Matt Coykendall tnx for the review. In your opinion which is the better option for listening to music and as a "soundbar" with tv. A10 Buchardt or ls50wireless II +kc62? Thank you
This was a Great review, Thanks Matt.
My pleasure!
Enjoyed the review Matt 👍 I know the chances of you taking me up on this are slim but I'll give it a try. Would like to see you review the Kali IN8 studio monitors. Like the Buchardt A10 they have settings on the back to adjust for the placement and room but are $800 for a pair and they're 3 way's. Kali was started by some guys that left JBL and they are making a lot of positive noise in the industry.
I can certainly reach out to them and see what happens!
@MattCoykendall1, great review. Unicorn composite ... nice! 🙃
No Unicorns were harmed in the making of this video haha
Buchardt makes great speakers.
Buchardt offers the A10
Isn’t it small and well built to compete against bigger speakers with its Master tuning.
I like this. It reminds me of the early 90’s when you could buy an amp with built in settings. Near field, studio, hall, auditorium,
Dance, Rock, Jazz, techno, and flat.
But you get to measure your room acoustics.
That’s new. Once you have the perfect assessment of your room, you can download a variety of Master Settings. Near field, studio, dance, Jazz , club, hard rock, hall, auditorium, church, coffee house, rap, hip hop, contemporary, bedroom, classical, big band,
Hmmmmm. What a great idea packaged in a way that young people will never know existed.
In operations management, I used to hate when my manager would say "Make it happen!"... Like everything just has an easy button 😂... And 99% of the time the task at hand is not at all easy to make happen 😂
Did you have any issues with connectivity or bugs while connecting with WISA?
8:45 ... About boosting levels during equalization.
In the digital realm, where these speakers are playing, there is a hard limit to how far you can boost things. This is referenced as "0dbfs" ... Zero Decibels (referred to) Full Scale. When eq or tone control levels want to drive above 0dbfs you are going to clip the signal causing a rather surprising amount of distortion.
Most proper digital eq systems now allow you to adjust the overall level to compensate for this through a master gain (volume) control. ... so for every db you boost any part of a signal you need to bring the master gain down by the same amount.
On some of the older, brain dead, DSP and EQ devices that do not feature a master gain control it is best to turn everything else down, rather than turning one band up. For example, if you wish to create a 3db bump at 2khz... you would turn everything else down by 3db.
This remains a consideration even with most properly produced music now being normalized to the "alignment level" (look it up) of -16dbfs .... if the music itself has good dynamic range the levels of your EQ boost plus the music itself can and likely will exceed 0dbfs.
The good old days of slamming every band on your EQ to full on are long gone.
Matt didn't say if the Buchart software includes this Master Gain feature or not... I'm betting it does. But if it's not there, you will have to be careful of this on your own.
Hey Douglas, great question. I can't say for certain but based off my observations with the automatic room calibration this is taking place, as it applied filters there was an audible change to the master gain after the calibration. Possibly Mads will comment further here if he observes this comment.
@@MattCoykendall1
That's probably an indication that it is curating the eq levels correctly. (Your tweeters will thank you)
It might also be visible in the manual equalizer ...
Of course the issue I discussed still exists in other brands, so people should be watchful for it.
I really dig the Buchardt look but its a bit of a shame to use real wood on these and such a dark stain, a lighter color or just a natural finish would compliment the design so much better. Also I'm sure I just missed it but I didn't catch the price. Speaking of which it would have been nice to have comparisons and if you think they are worth it overall vs. the many options o high-end bookshelf / monitors and integrated amps out there.
Circle back is the one.
How much???
No rear facing driver like the A500s?
Correct!
the worst corporate term for me is "fast follow" its never fast.
Great review Matt, but what am I to do with my $5,000.00 speaker cables?
Ha best practice is to keep them in your vehicle for jumper cables.
Or trade for 5k power cables
Sell them for a pair of A10's
What's going to sound better : $5k cables playing through a $5 speaker or
$5k speakers with a $5 power cable and interconnect XD
These or the kef ls60?
There are videos in which the LS60 gets compared to the A700.
The A700 is more detailed and has a more bodied sound, the LS60 is more of a 3D holographic hifi experience basically.
Small speakers sound small. Do an A/B with a speaker with dual 15" woofers and be sure to turn it up LOUD!
You have delay never heard the BUchardt active range.
Depends if you need it to go that loud. The dual 15 can be added via subs anyhow
I wanted to build a tower with those woofers, but im poor 😂😂😂 they are still expensive.
Yeah... it's a really interesting driver for sure.
"Optimize the synergies of realignment."
Ha that’s a rough one!
@@MattCoykendall1 Or maybe it's the goal of DSP crossovers in an active speaker??? ( Honestly, I came up with the phrase 20+ years ago in an early job).
The worst is "reach out." It's everywhere all the time its sole purpose is to be some type of business person signifier. Please make it stop.
I totally get it!
Let me circle back after picking some low hanging fruit.
WOW. That Woofer is Goddam ..... UUUUUGLY .... That alone would STOP me Buying It ! !
Couldn't disagree more. It is dead SEXY!
Really? I love it!
I find it looks great with certain wood finishes. It would stand out more on simple colour finishes. I don't find it off putting, and the sound makes up for it :)
