Do you need a subwoofer with the Buchardt S400 MKII?
While the S400 MKII offers surprisingly deep bass extension for a bookshelf speaker, adding a dedicated subwoofer will always enhance the low end for full-range audio. The speakers perform exceptionally well on their own in smaller to medium sized rooms without supplemental bass.
Are the Buchardt Audio S400 MKII speakers active or passive?
The standard Buchardt Audio S400 MKII speakers are passive monitors, meaning they require an external stereo amplifier or AV receiver to function. However, Buchardt is well known for offering active, wireless amplifier upgrades for their speaker lines.
How does the beryllium tweeter improve the S400 MKII's sound?
The Scan-Speak Beryllium tweeter in the S400 MKII is much lighter and stiffer than standard aluminum or silk domes, resulting in faster transient response. This significantly reduces distortion and provides crystal-clear, detailed high frequencies that integrate well with the midrange.
