Buchardt S400s

I don’t understand why they crossover a 19mm tweeter at 2000hz. That is just too low for any 19mm tweet I know of. Every other makers have abandoned those small diameter tweeters. The latest design ring domes disperse just as well.

Paired with an MRX 720 and more playing time,  I gotta say these speakers have grown on me.  I'm keeping them!  

I would go old school and try some adcom amps or Nad amps. I myself am rocking a B&K sonata 442 with 200w per channel.

Has anyone compared the S400 with Tekton Impact Monitors?

I would get coherent speakers over these, I think.

+1 ghasley. My thoughts exactly. The 200 is rated at 80wpc into 8 ohms. Not seen a spec for 4ohms. 

Yo may want to be careful with the Sta-200, I’m not sure it is a great match with a solid 4 ohm load, which to Buchardts are.

Thanks guys

The Kinki EX-M1 would be hard to beat for near the price and plenty of power.

Yes, I think you can find something better suited to the Buchardts.  I’d be curious about the Nuforce STA200, but you would need a preamp, possibly tubed.  The Nuforce and a Schiit Freya would come in under a thousand dollars.  Just a thought.

My Denon needs some help for sure.  These are power hungry!

I was considering a pair of these for my 150 w Pass amp.  Going to play a little with the cheap Elac b2 6.2 before it goes to an office/den.

I’ve ordered a pair and will be interested in any comments on this, but my guess is they’re too new for people to have much experience.  I’d imagine at least 150 watts per channel would suffice.
