For whom?

The System Audio 5.2 speakers will appeal if you have limited space to set up speakers and still want good sound. Their shape means they don’t stand out and fill the room with music without being obtrusive. Music lovers looking for a second system for a study will certainly appreciate these speakers. Their friendly nature means you can actually work with them. When you need a little inspiration or relaxation, they lend themselves perfectly to a listening session or a dance. The System Audio speakers quickly become a family friend, a musical faithful quadruped. You miss them when they are gone.

Buchardt’s A500 speakers appeal to a wide group of hi-fi enthusiasts. They relish all types of music, they can go very loud, the bass is tight and palpable, and all that without losing control. The reproduction is detail-rich, they demand attention when they play. The kind of playback that the A500 speakers offer is what many audio enthusiasts are looking for. They give you a lot, but it’s also audible that there’s more in there than comes out now. Mads Buchardt says he is continuing to develop the platform in terms of hardware and software, and in the process existing customers will be offered options to upgrade.

Conclusion

Two active wireless speakers based on the same technological platform and yet so different. The advantage of active speakers is that they are optimised by the manufacturer. The tuning of the amplifiers to the chosen tweater and woofers, the design of the cabinet and the optimisation through the use of digital sound processing (DSP) provides a lot of peace of mind. It is a search for a needle in a haystack for a combination of streamer, amplifier, cables and speakers that perform at the same price as the System Audio and the Buchardt Audio. Within their price range, these are complete systems that belong on the shortlist of both people who shy away from a quest for the most optimal combination in the jungle of audio equipment, and the hi-fi enthusiast who seeks optimal value within the available budget.
