Buchardt S400s

Yes, I think you can find something better suited to the Buchardts.  I’d be curious about the Nuforce STA200, but you would need a preamp, possibly tubed.  The Nuforce and a Schiit Freya would come in under a thousand dollars.  Just a thought.

The Kinki EX-M1 would be hard to beat for near the price and plenty of power.

Thanks guys

Yo may want to be careful with the Sta-200, I’m not sure it is a great match with a solid 4 ohm load, which to Buchardts are.

+1 ghasley. My thoughts exactly. The 200 is rated at 80wpc into 8 ohms. Not seen a spec for 4ohms.
