Thank you for such a nice review! :)
To address the custom woofers. It is actually a custom driver made specifically for us, which would be clear if you take it out. it's designed in cooperation with SB Acoustics. Their RND department is 35km from us here in Denmark, so we have always had a good relationship with them. The standard woofer is a very respected woofer that is used by many brands out there, and is typically seen in more expensive speakers like Audio Solutions which make many great speakers with this woofer. What we wanted to upgrade was the whole chassis construction, which was plastic normally. So we had it upgraded to a vented cast aluminum chassis for optimum strength and low compression. That and the cone itself is a little different which you would see if you put them side by side, mainly aesthetics for the cone to match the color better :)
I see your feelings about the S400 VS the P300, and I can understand why some would find the P300 more to their taste, we designed it to be a more "fun" speaker to listen to, where the S400 is the more technical correct speaker for sure. The S400 is also a speaker that can play a bit louder, as its woofer can move a little more.
Thanks for jumping in Mads!
@@hbg70 I'm always annoyed when RUclipsrs don't actually look into the tech and just conclude bullshit
Hi. Just ordered the P300 + original stands, can't wait to pair them with the Powernode N330.
I love the look of these speakers cuz the waveguide is the same size as the woofer
4 ohms, 86 dB, and a crossover point of 2900 hz. That's a tough load.
How far from your from your speakers do you listen?
QSC amplifier with the BUCHARDS not a good match. PA amplifier. Would do good on a passive subwoofer.
@LeRoySL-nk4hp Then it is efficient enough for you.
After hearing the A700's there was just no chance I could own anything else! The A700's are my end game 2 channel speakers and my credit card bill proved that!
Congrats Sir for reaching the 200K milestone 👏🎉💐
Buchardt P300 with their 1150 integrated amplifier, totally costing € 4,000.00, is really a highly valued hi-fi system.
With that WOW factor !!
😊🙏
glad i watched this. bought these speakers a couple of months back and fell in love but was wondering about the heavy base, thought no way these are bookshelf not going to have that crazy full base. adjusted in my Wiim pro plus and absolutely found the perfect blend. $1500? yea they are worth it. speakers for life
Been waiting, not so patiently, for this review. You have spoken so much about them, and now we get to actually hear your perspectives. Thank you as always for your time and efforts to share this with us all. Will have to listen to it in-person to see if I 'need' them to replace my Ultras . If you ever have the chance, I would like to hear your opinion of the Dali Menuet SE speaker in comparison to these.
The Menuet is a 4.5 inch speaker.... The Buchardt is 50% larger plus the passive radiator 😅
@@jungtarcph Thank you for your reply, but I would still like to hear the review and perspectives of sound reproduction.
Elac UniFis still wins for 1200$ for more close placements to the walls like i need it to be and more of an professional design with co-axial drivers, 3 way design, front ported, bi-amp capability, protected tweeter,etc etc.. and obviously it sounds fantastic.
Hey Randy, nice to see another review of these. Own them since end of last year, got the discount (1200€) :-) I a m pairing them with the NAD C700 and I slammed them to the wall, because the room situation is difficult. But they still sound great. Intergalactic still works for me, but the bass is really a bit too much here. Similar situation with Angel by Massive Attack, but besides that no problem there, maybe because of the furniture and carpet. Had the Elac Carinas in parallel when testing them, and the bass of these was much more, thickening up almost everything. The p300s are also very powerful in the bass, but very controlled. I guess I could get more out of them with another room, but I have the feeling they are the best speaker for my current situation.
Hi, I'm looking into buying a pair of P3's and wondering, how did you get the discount?
@@iKaBoZ820 Sorry, that was only an early-bird price, I think for the first 100 pairs. So I really bought them without any review out there, just based on the good reputation of the big brother. Given the return policy it was not a big risk though, so a good deal for me :-)
Just saw the alert. Congrats on the 200k subscriber achievement! Your channel is fun & informative, with your videos bringing many smiles to your viewers!
Great entertainment!
A real nice review on these gems!
I did the pre-order in ocean blue last year and I absolutely love them!
I paired the lm with Primare I25 amp, perfect match for me.
It's good to hear you are enjoying them as well!🤘🤘🤘
Darko' s latest video had a cup of coffee in the intro and yours has speaker glamour slow pan with ferns in the frame. Are you guys messing with us ?
Would be really keen to hear your thoughts on how these compare with other speakers in the similar-ish price range that you’ve reviewed like the Q-Acoustics 5020’s and 5040’s? Thanks for the great content, love having metal and rock tracks as references 🤟
I second this comment.
Thanks Randy. The footage of the stray hair being pulled from under the speaker... Priceless.
Grats for 200k! Interesting you prefer the way cheaper P300 over the bigger brother, maybe I'll give them a try next year. Just a bit afraid the bass is too much in my suboptimal room acoustic
Maybe you can buy a streamer woth tone control.
they make this a full on 3 way, look out. A touch bigger cabinet, the rear woofer live and just for bass. Be a beautiful set up
Lots going on behind the cone and there is always parts sharing (motor, basket) between different parts so it could totally be a custom SB Acoustics woofer for Buchardt and essentially look exactly like one of their stock parts.
I'm seeing 200k! Congrats Randy!!!
I have these with the Maranz model40n. Brilliant allrounder, very full sound. 1500€ is not a bad price, cause you really dont need a subwoofer.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving Randy! I am always grateful for your insights into my favourite subject - home audio and AV.
Another great video.
I like how you keep the speakers ‘between the ferns’.
1500 ain't cheap enough for me😒
I guess cheap is a relative term.
You know that saying. You get what you pay for.
@chrisarp4111 , exactly what I was thinking. Priorities...I know people spend that on espresso shots over a year. I love coffee...
@@Prometheus1979it started off as cheap audio and it's changed.
For people that spend thousands on an audio setup it is, but I'm a hundreds guy with ears that couldn't hear the difference anyway so I get where you are coming from.
Long time subscriber, first time poster! Nice review, Randy. I own the S400 mkII’s and they’re such a likeable speaker with that bass. Top end is a little shy but I did own a Sonus Faber Lumina previously which was all sparkle. Buchardt lowered the crossover frequency to 1800Hz on the mkII’s so this should address your muddy midrange observation.
Interesting. Which Lumina speakers did you have? Lumina 1 or 2? I have a sub so was wondering if something that’s “all sparkle” might work quite well for me.
I'm curious about how they rate against the Q Acoustics 5040's- assuming/placement is not an issue.
Form filled out, patiently waiting for the sound of the truck backing up to begin unloading my winnings, So excited,
Not on topic but, im really loving this SMSL SU-1 DAC! Thank you Randy.
I bet i will like these. With that much bass, i imagine also, many people will think these are a cheap hi- end option.
Its because the passive radiator is facing the wall you need to pull the speaker out further from the wall to sound balanced. This is the reason in my opinion that passive radiators should face forward like in the old school speakers that utilized it a while back.
Yes, I do understand that it was made to be compact but when doing so there are compromises.
So glad I diy , intergalactic is visceral in my homade overkill system, love music at concert level
In the Tracy Chapman song, I think they pull the reverb off her voice when the song changes style at approx 1:00 into the song. I wouldn't be surprised if the acappella part and the band accompanied part were recorded differently or at different times or, at least, engineered differently. The change you attribute to the P300s might just be the song itself. There could be a loss of mid-range clarity as you say, but take a critical listen to the song again on a different system or with headphones and see if you find the recording itself to be subtly different.
I find using good recordings is a more reliable approach to test equipment. Its difficult to distinguish between issues on the recording or with the unit with bad recordings.
Fair point.
That's why I like SACD's.
I used to use a pair of Buchardt S300MKIIs (still have them, not willing to let them go yet). I LOVED them (voices of all kinds are beautiful), until I found that they don't have much top-end detail (compared to Monitor Audio Silver 100s or Dynaudio Special 40s). Would you say that these P300s have good high-end detail?
How do you find MA Silver 100s compared to S300MKIIs? MAs are in my short list and I was wondering whether it makes sense to to jump to Buchardts.
@@engineer4862 The S300MKIIs have a slightly more natural tonality. Their bass is every bit as good as the MAs and might actually a little tauter down low; and like I say, male and female voices all sound beautiful -- slightly better than the MAs. But the Buchardt tweeter is a little soft and not as detailed as I'd like. The MAs have overall a very even response, good and extended bass (a little soft in the deep bass), and the treble is very detailed but also has a touch of a metallic quality. I'd still be listening to the Buchardts but I have a bit of tinnitus and want more treble detail to kind of cut through the "noise" of the tinnitus. I thought the Buchardts were also virtually as good as the Dynaudio Special 40s except that they lacked just a little treble detail and openness by comparison. Thomas at Thomas&Stereo called the S300 MKIIs a "hidden gem." I think so. For classical music and vocal music I love the Buchardts. But for electronic music that has subtle textures in the treble you will end up missing that detail, which you can get with the MAs.
Top top channel , wonderfully presented , nice , relaxed , knowledgable 👍
Nice detailed review! Now that you're in this price bracket, try a pair of Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 EX v2 or the LX. Similarly priced but difference in emphasis.
Great channel! Bought some gear Randy likes, and so did I! Thanks man.
I suppose that any wide-range 2-way speaker is going to experience some low midrange muddiness. The only "cure" is a true 3-way design with a low handoff to the woofer.
Love the sevendust T, Randy! I’m considering these p300s alongside the BRX. Much prefer the look of the Buchs.
Check out the PMC prodigy 1’s too. Legit speaker
The P300 uses the same tweeter as the S400 MKII, but a less exotic crossover and cheaper binding posts.
Old Klh “bookshelf” can still be found for under a hundo-hard to beat 3 way with 8” woofers.
Love your content, congrats on 200k, soon
Congrats on the 200K mark! Now for cheap audio, man, those speakers are a little pricey. Also, I've found that most higher-end speakers require a whole lotta power to sound their best no matter the sensitivity dB rating. Until you reach the speaker/amp's point of diminishing returns or what I like to call their TCOO point (total cost of ownership). I'm a little new to your channel, so I'm sure you've covered this at some length. Typically, if you can find this type of gear at 50% off or more, you have a bargin or cheap high-end audio. Cheers.
Been watching you for a very long time now have my end game system for now but will continue to watch very entertaining
Thanks!
Now I understand bi-amp capable speakers as I could control the bass level electronically instead of spaciously with the gain setting on one of the amps.
Yes indeed, however you could do the same with a good class D amplifier.
Have to try the buchardt 10th years, many says It has the best Bass ever
But the woofer design...
@@cmessi it was designed to avoid distortions
So you basically don’t need a subwoofer and there you can save money and add just Amp?
@@sashaantidot2444 It is active sprakers with all in, amp, dac, preamp... Just plug and play, no cables others than the power cable needed
Great review. Congrats on 200k!
The P300 vs the Lintons?
I would also like to know. I like my Lintons but I would like a little more detail sometimes. I could almost live without my subs too but not all the time.
I would like to know to. I would like to upgrade to the Lintons. But the P300s look so nice!
Congrats, Randy, on 200K subs!!
Congrats on 200k subscribers!!
Try to make review on Teufel speakers if you can get them from Europe. They fall under cheap speakers. I'm interested in your opinion. Thank you
Looking for feedback about pairing the Buchardt P300 with the SVS Prime Wireless Pro Sound Base. Randy gave rave reviews to both products.
Guys I need some help deciding between P300 and Linton 85.
I am looking to upgrade my current setup of vintage Canton speakers (made in west Germany) with chifi dac and amp. The left tweeter of the Canton is starting to "crackle" from time to time.
I am stuck between spending around 1250 euro on a pair of P300 or Linton 85. The missus likes to looks and small formfactor of the Buchardts. I originally wanted the Lintons before this review. What do you guys think? Does anybody actually own the two? In terms of price they are in the same range...
They will be placed in my living room for my personal listening but also primarily used for TV movies and series. The couch is about 3.5 meters from the front wall and the back wall is right behind the couch.
Thanks in advance.
With that wave guide it should do better than most off axis.
Hi there. Just seeking opinions, as to should I go for the Buchardt P300 or the criton tdx1? Cost about the same to Nz, in adding on the shipping and taxes to nz for the Criton.(birch+ standard crossover) all opinions welcomed. Thanks
I have a Yamaha CA 2010 vintage ( '70s) with 125 watts A/B and 30 watts Class A. What do you think? I like Mad's response observing this is a more 'fun' speaker. It's between these and the KLH 5s. Thank you Randy, James
With that amp, you should go for the KLH model 5's.
They are a better fit amp wise and the retro theme will look rock n' roll :)
Your intro films are amazing. Do you put those together yourself ? Best Ive ever seen on any RUclips video
whoop whoop 200K!
cool. A massage? Tank u wery mooch
Well done on the 200k subs Randy
Bought the SMSL 300se on your recommendation and some research. Paired with Beyerdynamic DT700 ProX sounds very good. Should I be wondering about the 4.4 mm headphone output? Is balanced worth it?
cool speakers! ps, think youll ever review the Dynaudio Emit speakers? thanks
the fact that these speakers have an impedance of 4 ohms, does it impose certain requirements on the amplifier ?
May replace a pair of DBR62s with these.... Anyone have experience with both?
Halo Which Bluetooth amplifier can you recommend for the Buchardt P300?
While I like hearing about all the cool equipment, what happened to the "cheap" part? I recall at one time your definition was < $1k. And I would think that for separate electronics, that this would be even less (e.g., integrated amp $1k limit but less for DAC, amp, controller, etc)
I am sure Mads will be happy to explain what is custom mads about it ....
Hey Randy, always nice reviews. But what do you think about the Dali Spektor 2/ Oberon 3??
Can imagine you cannot review 1000 bookshelf speakers, but yeah..
Ohh, sorry, you did. I missed that..
Can you drive these with an AVR? If yes, what do you recommend?
Love the intro of the video. Well shot!
Pesky debris didn’t want to let go of the speaker. Gotta keep the plants away from the equipment. Know what I mean Fern?! Lol
So P300 are better than the Elac Uni-Fi Reference UBR62 (which are again better than the S400 MK II)? - yes, you just said it in your summary. The P300 is more than twice the price of the UBR62 though (in Germany).
Oh, why are they using a three-quarter inch tweeter instead of a 1 inch tweeter ?
Good Danish loudspeaker !
Michael from Denmark
You finaly decided me to buy these pair of speakers, i was looking for a while. Do you think it would be a good idea to buy an home cinema amp or would it be detrimental to the speakers?
Most two channel amplifiers would be better, but if you are going to used them in a dual duty...should be ok.
Love your humor 😂 with the hair on speaker 😂
I think 🤔 you don't like subwoofers. I've never heard a book shelf or any other speakers that doesn't benefit from using a quality Sub.
I have a set of Cornwall 2 speakers, they are rated to go down to 38 Hz., still need a powered subwoofer.
Randy is still learning...
I'm glad $1500 speakers sound good. I was worried there for a minute.
Some do not !
Yeah… you realize $1500 is actually cheap in the speaker world right? That’s a fact, and it’s a weird price point as well where a lot of products have more ‘show’ but ‘meh’ drivers and components.
@tylerhackman6832 Cheap depends greatly on perspective. $1500 speakers are worth it to many people, but there is no way I would hear the $1100 difference over what I spent on mine. If you have $1500 ears and the budget, enjoy.
i would argue, you could hear the difference too if you were blind to the price.
@ADREISTER With speakers I agree. Only if the price was a non factor. Once I knew the price difference I would be listening for that and wouldn't find it.
Heya, Randy!
I've tried getting the Tidal deal via your link, but nothing's happening, it just leads me to a blank page. Do I have to be in the US for it to work?
I see the Happy Halloween intro, I I think it's a shot of Dan from Emotiva.
Thinking of these or kef LS50 meta for $999 🤷🏼♂️. Someone help me decide. I have a kef LC62 sub and WiiM amp on the way. I’m thinking the WiiM amp will do better with the 4ohm P300 even though i do love the kef sound and have had the LS50wii but returned because im scared to death of an expensive paperweight down the road….
did you combine the P300s with the Wiim amp? Thinking of going for that combination since I already have the amp. Not sure if it has enough power for the P300s though. Thanks
I'm surprised you didn't do some more Christopher Walkin quotes when you started talking about A View to a Kill. 😅
Ive heard them , liked them alot btw !
I'm going to have to disagree with you on something. I just looked these speakers up, these are 4 ohm speakers. You need an amp that can run 4 ohm, so you need some power to truly drive them.
Good review Randy!!🎉
200,000!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Has anyone heard both this spesker and the heco revolution 3. And how do they compare?
Ask nemo propaganda, great guy.
aha you had me to revisit wherever i may roam and indeed tok tok tok
Buchardt offers B-stock with small cosmetic damage at a discount.
To expensive for me as well,i don't need or want a 1,500 speaker
Look around and ask people if they have a used set of speakers for sale, like I did.
I found a set of Klipsch Cornwall 2 for $500 that way!
Love the music!
Did you just call a tube amp dumb after your rave review of the aiyima t9? Still love ya, but whaa??
If you really want to have your speakers close to the wall, you could get an equalizer, there's a vintage Teac (brand responsible for Tascam) going for 45-80 USD
Too much noise.
@@LexusAllTerrain1 okay, I see your point...
Uh oh...Camera work. Darko, watch out. CAM is coming for you.
So...what is the halloween tune being played here?
I have a feeling I'm gonna win the Wilson audio speakers. I believe in the cheap audioman. Keep up the good work and look for me driving a white van. I gotta deal for you.
Right…I’ve been looking geshelli dac. Wink…wink…maybe one will pop up in my mailbox, soon….
Are We there yet? (200K subs)
Lmao
Go for the 200K! :)
Beautiful!
Nice looking,,,expensive
I'll pass on the Buchardt P300 because I found a used pair of Klipsch Cornwall 2 (1976) for $500!
They are huge (36"H x 25" W x 16" D @ 100 lbs, each)!
I'm in love with these speakers, especially for the price.
Cornwall 4's are $6500 a pair.
That is a FANTASTIC deal!!
