Bookshelf Speakers — Buchardt Audio E50-S

The E50-S is an accomplished bookshelf loudspeaker from Buchardt Audio, its enclosure slightly larger than the original E50 - roughly 1cm wider - to accommodate a new 7.5-inch Satori low/mid-frequency driver developed specifically for this model. The E50-S brings Buchardt Audio's considered Danish engineering to a refined evolution of the celebrated E50 platform.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans 38Hz to 22,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is an excellent 91dB, with impedance at 4 ohms. At 39.5 x 20.0 x 28.4cm and 9kg, the E50-S maintains a compact bookshelf chassis, with the larger enclosure specifically engineered to house the new purpose-built 7.5-inch Satori driver.

Sound and use context

Expect effortless dynamics reflecting the excellent 91dB sensitivity, with the purpose-built 7.5-inch Satori driver - developed specifically for this model - delivering a meaningful refinement over the original E50's driver complement.

Pairing

The demanding 4-ohm impedance calls for an amplifier comfortable driving low-impedance loudspeaker loads.
