These sit in different price classes - Dynaudio Focus 50 costs roughly 1.7x what Buchardt A700 does. Expect it to lead on paper; the question is whether the gap is audible enough in your room to be worth it.
| Area | Better | Why |
|---|
| Bass | B | Buchardt A700 digs deeper - 17Hz against 22Hz. A subwoofer would even that out. |
| Built-in power | evenly matched | Similar onboard amplification (670W vs 600W RMS). |
| Connections | A | Dynaudio Focus 50 adds Bluetooth, streaming and digital inputs. |
| Size | depends | Buchardt A700 is easier to place; Dynaudio Focus 50 is bigger, which usually goes with fuller bass. Your room decides. |
| Expandability | A | Dynaudio Focus 50: a sub output. |
| Price | B | Buchardt A700 is cheaper - $6,600 against $11,000, about 40% less; arguably a different class. |

depends neither is better in the abstract - it turns on your room, your system or how you will use them. Only specs published for both speakers are judged; anything missing on either side is left out rather than guessed.
Which should you choose?
Dynaudio Focus 50 is ahead, but only on 1 of the measured areas, and it costs about 67% more. That is a lot of money for a narrow margin on paper - Buchardt A700 looks like the sensible buy unless something else about the Dynaudio Focus 50 appeals to you. If a subwoofer is in your plans, the bass gap largely stops mattering - you would be crossing over above 22Hz anyway, so judge these on the other rows instead. In a large or open-plan room, Dynaudio Focus 50 has the cabinet volume to fill it more easily; in a small room, near a wall or at desk distance, Buchardt A700 is the easier speaker to get right.
And remember what a spec sheet cannot show: how each looks in your room and whether the finish suits it, what dealer support and warranty are like where you live, and how they actually sound to you. If you can hear them first - ideally with your own music - that will tell you more than any number above.
