Anniversary 10

Product description
Built to mark ten years of Buchardt and, by the company's own reckoning, the best-sounding thing it had made: a sealed two-way in a 19 mm solid wood cabinet, with a custom triple-voice-coil Purifi woofer and the first outing of the RFA19, the 19 mm resonance-free aluminium dome Buchardt developed in-house after years of buying tweeters. Each speaker carries 150 + 50 watts of digital-input amplification — PowerDACs, so the signal stays in the digital domain from input to output stage — a quad-core DSP, balanced XLR in and WiSA wireless at 24/96. The part that makes it unusual is the Mastertunings: downloadable profiles that rewrite the crossover and voicing rather than applying EQ on top, so the same box can be set up for near-wall placement, nearfield studio use, or with and without subwoofers. Sealed, 28 Hz, and no preamp inside — you supply a streamer or preamp. €4,050 a pair with shipping and duties included. Since late 2026 Buchardt also sells a €1,500 MK2 Upgrade Kit for it: replacement electronics that swap the amplifier platform for an Axign-based digital class D rated 4 × 250 W with the DAC built into the output stage.
