The Buchardt S400 MKII REVIEW!

Overall, i wouldn't hesitate for a moment to suggest these to anyone who is looking for an accurate, resolving stem out speaker around the two thousan...

Review! The Buchardt Audio S400 MK2 | It's good to be the KING!

I think the s400 mark ii has a slight advantage here. It should sound better with a wider variety of equipment, whereas the klh model 5.

Try your speakers outdoors!

The speakers sound so "pure" once you've removed 2/3 of the walls and I recommed every one to try it at least once, but make sure there's no rain on the weathercast!. The speaker in the picture it the Buchardt s400 and the stands are DIY stands made from cheap wood and some wood stain. The Buchardt s400's is a speaker with a warm presentation that can go lower than a lot of floorstanders (33 Hz in room).

Just Ordered the New U-Turn Theory - Need Speaker Recs!

They require a decent amount of amperage from the power amplifier and need space from the wall, but the LRS + are tremendous. Buchardt Audio’s S400 MKII is a popular speaker, as well.

Did I hear VU meters?

Its a different league in price, build and sound quality. I think I have found my end-game integrated amplifier.

Are bookshelves plus subs the ultimate high fidelity set up?

The s400 MKII actually have quite a full sound for being a bookshelf while the LS50 Metas are all about the stage and detail. FS speakers have just as much variation.
