Hmmm, a useful YT video.
These measurements seem to show much more of a dip on-axis between 3 kHz and 6 kHz.

The newest S400 Signature Edition from Buchardt now features HDF cabinet construction for improved stiffness. It makes each speaker about 0.5kg heavier (1.1lbs). Will it improve sound quality?

Bass output is impressive too, especially when you realize the S400 is actually a fairly compact bookshelf. It's significantly smaller than, say, the KEF R3, but reaches nearly as low.
Were you able to measure distortion?
Interesting comment about sand cast resistors. not something i'm too familiar with, but might be something i could easily replace and upgrade on my pair. hmm......YouTube The HYPE Train! All Aboard? Buchardt S400 Review! - by Ron Brenay

A whole new crossover that would give a better FR or integrate the drivers may be warranted though.
I wouldn't do this to my Buchardt's unless I know doing a certain thing was going to do something for me.
Guess I better even it out!As of your message, we both have EXACTLY 32 messages, 9 likes.... are you my ASR twin?! (ok, yes, i've spoilt it with this message, but still...)
