Mad about Mads – Buchardt that is who just introduced his E50 passive monitor [€3'950/pr and up depending on finish]. With Dansk-made cabinets in finger-joined 19-28mm solid wood, a 1" ScanSpeak soft-dome tweeter in a waveguide, 6½" Purifi woofer, 2 x 6½" SB Acoustic passive radiators, Jantzen cross coils, Superior Z-Caps and Argento posts, this ambitious effort pulls no punches on build or parts quality. Claimed response is 36-30'000Hz, efficiency a low 85dB. Dimensions are 39.5x19x28.4cm HxWxD, weight is 8.6kg/ea. Finish options come in six oak executions: stained black, smoked, natural, rounded charcoal, rounded smoked and rounded natural. A pre-order discount applies. On paper, it looks like you'd be mad not to be mad about this speaker.
