Best in its Class? The Buchardt S400 MKii Speakers
#highfidelity
#audiophiles
#homeaudio
2024 has been a great year to review Stand mount speakers,. From the surprising and engaging Verify Audio Scouts, to the airy KEF R3 Meta and now a direct competitor, the Buchardt S 400 MKII. Stick around and find out how they measure up in a small space.
As always anymore, let’s begin with the FCC notice: I received these speakers for review after an email exchange with Mads, the proprietor of Buchardt Audio. I did not receive financial compensation in any form for this review, nor did anyone at Buchardt see the video prior to going live on RUclips.
Positives:
Musicality, effortless sound, impactful/detailed bass, rich warm midrange, smooth extended highs....

    Thanks for clearing up my uncertainty as to whether the SnubWay and Main Stream are best used together. That was not obvious from a viewing of the Veri-Fi website. That is a $530. solution and while it is far less expensive than many other 'solutions' for many it is a significant expenditure for what MAY be a minor improvement. A possible alternative is the use of a battery powered Power Station, the Bluetti line is among those highly regarded. This article first brought this solution to my attention; "World Premiere Review! Stromtank S2500 Battery Power Supply" by Tom Lyle @ the Enjoy the Music website. Since that article was written, the price of similar battery power has been greatly reduced and is easily comparable in price to the solution Veri-Fi offers. The same reviewer later achieved similar results using a much more affordable Goal Zero Power Station. Here's an even more affordable example; BLUETTI Portable Power Station AC180, 1152Wh LiFePO4 Battery Backup w/ 4 1800W (2700W peak) AC Outlets - $479.00 Note that the LiFePO4 batteries are safe, unlike standard lithium batteries. Charge up the Power Station with wall AC, then when wishing to listen to your system, unplug the Power Station from the wall, entirely free from the problematic house AC supply. Hint. hint; I'd love to see a comparison between the Veri-Fi solutions and using a Portable Power Station like the Bluetti.

      My understanding is that a UPS uses PWM switching in order to regulate the voltage coming out of its battery into the DC/AC converter. That in itself is a switching device introducing noise. Although it runs on the battery for backup, it is no no match for a good LPS. I have three UPS and I plugged in some of the audio devices directly into it and can confirm that it does not do any good in my system.
