Worth the wait? Buchardt S400's


Hi Everyone,
I have the S400's on preorder and have been waiting for a while. In the meantime I upgraded mu amp from a Parasound to Krell Digital Vanguard, driving my Vandersteen 2ces. The Krell has opened up the sound of my Vandys and I wonder now if I should just cancel my order and invest in better speaker cables and interconnects, etc? 
Anyone own the Buchardts?

Haha yes chrisr. I saw that video. I’m leaning towards keeping my Vandersteen’s. Now  wondering what speaker cable I should get?
I suppose buchardt send bottles and a jar to youtube reviewers... They won’t sound bad that way!
I have had the 2CE signature in my room 10 years ago, and i had them biwired with canare 4s11.. Sounded great i thought! And it's a convenient inexpensive cable.
Hi.
I am interested in purchasing the Buchardt S-400 but I am not sure my amp would be compatible and would be thankful for your advice. My amp is a Yamaha s-301 with the following power spec:Would this work in your opinion?
Thank you very much.

Made the leap to Buchardt s 400's......in a word they are pretty amazing. Running them  with a Peachtree 220se, Bluesound Vault, ML dynamo 700 and Amazon HR. 
They replaced a set of Dynaudio excite 18's that I enjoyed very much but found that they lacked the ability to fill a pretty good size room 20 x14. Enter the S400's and they do more then just fill the room, they rock. Are they the most detailed....No. But music is the sum of all the parts and the S400 adds up to be a very very good all around speaker. I will say speaker height is very important as well as making sure you have decoupled from the speaker and floor and speaker and stand. If your on the fence I would suggest you give them a try, at the very least you will be amazed with just how Buchardt gets out of this pretty small package. 
Itchy, huh? You have done it to yourself. Couldn't wait, upgraded. Now you have a problem don't you?  ;) 

Let me guess, you are selling, or have sold the other amp. That would be the classic mistake, rather than trying both on the new speakers incoming. (Unless you absolutely have no money to hold the one until compared)

No one here can tell you which you would prefer, especially when amps are thrown into the picture. You simply have to try all iterations to assure your best result. Any other answer is guesswork. You simply have to try all amps, all speakers in discrete systems. There are thousands of iterations (I am being conservative) with fundamentally different characteristics. You'll get every bit as dramatic changes with different speakers, cables, etc. ALL speakers are subject to such upgrades/dramatic changes with amps. That's no shocker. 

Changing cables midstream, and looking for certainty? Not possible. You are manipulating multiple aspects of the system and will not find certainty on your expenditures. You simply have to make a choice and go with it. The less items you end up with - speakers, amps, cables - to compare in iterations of rigs, the less your chance of building a dream result. The more you have to build iterations, the better the outcome. 

Then, just wait; you'll adore two different rigs. Then, you have a different problem!  :) 

Guidance doesn't get any clearer than that.
