Buchardt S400 Special Edition speakers -- any impressions?

I have been a devotee of Spatial Audio speakers for several years, thinking I would never move on from them. However, I heard these speakers in a system with a great front end last year and was blown way with the tonality and detailed soundstage they presented.  I got a pair a week ago and they are really excellent speaker for $2700.  They clearly go deeper in the LF than my Spatials and have a tremendous soundstage, with pinpoint accuracy of the instruments.  They perform similar to the Dynaudio C-1 Contour and Joseph Audio Pulsars for a fraction of their cost. 

I'd be keen to see if anyone else has any experience with them.

Hello whitestix,

the Buchardt speakers are fine speakers and I have heard from ears I trust that the upgraded versions fix some of the issues the originals did - namely that if you paired them wrong it was easy to get an unpleasant edge to the music. Congratulations and I hope you enjoy them!

uncle_monkey, if you are looking for something larger that improves upon the Buchardt type of sound, I’d like to suggest the Rosso Fiorentino Elba as an option. Zero Fidelity released their review of it last week and gave it great praise. He was one of the first to get the Buchardt speakers in the US and considers the Elba as a very logical step to upgrade to.

For full transparency, I am the US distributor. I am sharing his thoughts and not my own.
