THANKS for your review n trying out on various equipment. it is really nice to your opinions on various equipment and give us a review that we can make a more informed decision on what to buy. my biggest criticism of speaker reviews is that it is difficult to compare sound if my system doesn't match the reviewer. this is a very complete review, so thanx!!!

I am thinking about pairing the s400 and the Hegel h190, thank you for the review

I have the Focal Chorus 726 floor speakers and I think it works pretty good with my Cayin 88a. Pretty good sound stage and detail. IMO it lacks in the bass area. Now, I only play vinyl and I love the warmth of the tubes. Needless to say I have had my eyes on the s400 after reading all reviews. Would this be a good match and what do you think would be the big difference between the Buchardt and the Focal?

Fantastic review. Keep up the splendid work!

Great in-depth review! I love the speakers but I'm just concerned with which integrated amp goes well with it. I pretty much stream all my music. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I listened to kef’s in an extremely small room set up and thought they were incredible. So perfectly clean, clear and crisp that I actually thought afterwards that it was maybe a bit artificial (strangely not in a totally bad way) I have always been curious as to how they would perform in a larger room setting. So thanks for all these points. Would it be correct to say that s400 have a bit more meaty sound to them If a such a word can be used?
Lastly, please don’t take this the wrong way but I am not a native english speaker so it would be great if you talk much slower than you do in the video. I think Steven Guttenberg is a great example. Very articulate, slow paced etc.
Thanks for the nice review. This is the comparison review I was looking for.

Great review. Would the s400 be a good match with the Macintosh ma252 amp give that it is a tube/solid-state amps.

[Waldorfinho]

Thanks for the detailed review, Sandu. What speaker stands do you use? Are they a good match for these speakers?

[NemoPropaganda]

Great review my bro, I pretty much agree with everything you say.

[igork]

Would Hegel H95 be enough? I listen at fairly low volume levels.

[ajzepp]

Did you try different positions for the speakers? I've heard some people say they benefit from an extreme toe-in. Looks like you have them facing straight toward the seating area, is that right?

[wavesnowaves]

Have you tried these for movies in a 2.0 setup ? If so, how do they handle bass duties ?

[bogdan]

sorry for off topic, is fiio k3 a good dac/amp for fiio fh1?

[Flavius]

So KEF is cold and lifeless with the S400 being the warmer, more pleasing and generous in sound stage. Clearly a better pair for most types of music. Good job👍 P.S. I know you're not a fan of Lady Gaga, YOU WOULD NEVER BETRAY TAYLOR SWIFT!😉

Sb acoustics stuff inside. 200€ + Box + crossover. 😏😏😏

Drop the '' SO ''. It is just too much, I cannot view the review by the end. Suna ca ''deci'' in romana.
