I have been collecting for years, but I am just gaining a better understanding about my gear your channel has helped a lot. And I’m digging your whole vibe, your funny and chill with good info, well done dude keep it up. Very helpful to us simple music fans that want to learn.

[robertbartolomie]

Another great review! You have convinced me that the MKII should be my next speakers. Thank you for your efforts. Robert

[rickhermann]

Great review! You get to the point quickly and use simple and descriptive language. A great review and a great beard. Can’t ask for much more than that!

Mads is great. I bought the upgraded crossover for my original S400's, and when I broke a lead off one of the speakers, he sent a replacement immediately, even after I offered to pay for costs and shipping. So few places to buy that make this great of a product, stand by their products, and care about their customers

That crossover is beautiful!! Reminds me of when I got custom Solen crossovers built for my car audio back in the day. A thing of beauty!

Chris,
I am a scientist (archaeologist) for the federal government. As a scientist, one of the things that I appreciate most about your content is the careful delivery of, what seems to be, a scientific analysis of vinyl and audio equipment. Keep it up. Hello from Toledo, Ohio!

The MKII is getting some great reviews and for a manufacturer to offer an upgrade patch for an older speaker model really speaks to the character of that company. Excellent review as usual.

[damayor]

Outstanding as always and thank for confirming the MKII's are THAT good. I'll have to start saving up for a pair. Keep up the great work.

[derekfaughn]

Well done! Second review I’ve seen of these speakers…VERY intriguing!

[jyellin]

Great review, Chris. I've been hearing (well, reading actually) more people talk about these speakers so it's nice to get a really nice review of them.

[antonelosheytanov]

Another spot on video. I agree with everything Chris said as I’ve been living with the MK2s for the past 4 months and cannot see myself parting ways with them unless a Signature Edition of the MK2s comes to the market.

I bought the Buchardt S400 MK2's a few weeks ago and I love them! I echo your sentiments about placement, as my room is small-ish and I need them off the wall by at least a foot to avoid some reverb at high volumes. I am amazed by the Base that comes out of these. Cheers

[jconde]

Delighted to hear this review. Thank you for the details.

[seansbox]

I've been sitting on the fence re these speakers and you've made it extraordinarily difficult to maintain my perch. Thanks, Chris.

Good evening and thanks for another great review! I look forward to all of your videos and honest feedback!

[ericharrelson]

That crossover is legit, especially at that price point. When I saw the XO, the S400 MKII immediately went on my short list. Nice review, Chris.

[dougturner]

Great review. Thanks for the update, as always!.

[dunderhill]

Again, another fantastic, in depth review. Keep up the great work.

[geepee]

Enjoy your reviews, one of the best on YouTube, keep ‘‘em coming, stay well

[geohom]

Thoroughly enjoying your review style. TVA is now part of my regular YouTube hifi rotation. I too am saving up for a pair of the “MKII” - thanks for helping to confirm this choice.
