I believe if we do our due diligence well, we should be doing all-right. Leap of faith is not just luck, rather is built on solid background work you have accomplished beforehand. The more work you do, the more you could push past your comfort zone to explore / pursue the adventure. Not every reviewer is bought out. Even they were and give biased opinions, how about the positive feedback from users? They can not be all blind followers, right?
Before I was a bit too conservative and over-thinking with the buying decision even within my budget, and end up with forcing myself to live with a subpar system I feel can be further enhanced to extend my level of satisfaction. Later, I learn to stretch my budget and follow my heart to get things done. So far, I have been lucky. I have made most of the purchasing decision right other than a few entry-level DACs I have already got rid of and the speaker situation I am facing now. Nothing is perfect especially with these budgetary speakers. Knowing this is probably the highest budget now that can be approved by my best half, I would be content with what I have and start enjoying music listening and appreciation.
Just now something crosses my mind. I was thinking of bridging my amp (400 watts wi/ the 2-3 ohm tap) to possibly push the limit of Buchardt. I could only try with a single speaker since it is a 4-ohm speaker but, if it succeeds to get weightier bass, I could upgrade the amp later. Well, that is the plan and will update you all if succeeded.
