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.

@whitestix have you heard these against the originals? I have yet to hear the OG’s but wasn’t surprised at a revised version. I WAS surprised at the new price though.

also very curious as to how this goes for you as I’ve been eyeballing used M3 Turbo S as I’m supper curious about OB speakers.

Congrats on the Buchardts...it is interesting how these guys seemed to come out of the clear blue offering products that pretty much everyone agrees sound really good.

How would you describe the size of the soundstage comparison with the spatials....by that I mean extending beyond the speakers...left, right and height??
