That's not what's going on here, the S300 MKII SE puts the music first, it brings out the best in every genre I tried.What happens if the parcel has been shipped but not delivered? That said, it's probably not the best choice for audiophiles craving high resolution sound. I love its rich sound, and I respect the LS50 for telling it like it is.īuchardt Audio's hit a home run with the S300 MKII SE for audiophiles with refined taste, but without a high-end price. The S300 MKII SE is softer and darker in tone. The S300 MKII SE's bass reaches deeper, and that's part of the reason it sounds like a larger speaker. The LS50 soundstage is more tightly focused and transient details are sharper. The S300 MKII SE however is more "relaxed," richer in tone and fleshed out as a speaker. The KEF LS50 is a more forward, yet smaller sounding speaker. There's a lot going on in the music, but it was easy to follow. The dynamic shadings of each instrument were well played. This Brazil and samba jazz rhythm machine's lines were cleanly separated, and the palpable feel of the sound totally drew me in. The S300 MKII SE dug deep into the complex big band grooves on Herbie Mann's Live at Newport LP. Not only that, the soundstage was remarkably three-dimensional and deep, it's a very open sounding box speaker.
Fine tuning the "toe-in" gives you just the right amount of treble, it's a season to taste adjustment.Ĭiccone Youth's The Whitey Album amply demonstrated the S300 MKII SE's hard rock skills and dynamic slam was mighty impressive for a small speaker. Aiming the speakers towards the listening position changes the sound, making it brighter and more detailed yet a little too much for me. The S300 MKII SE tonal balance worked best with the speakers firing straight ahead, with their backs parallel to the wall behind them. I used the S300 MKII SE with three different amps, my NAD C 316BEE, Parasound HINT 6 and a Pass Labs XA25.
The speakers are sold with a 10 year parts and labor warranty.

Buchardt claims the S300 MKII SE's crossover network time aligns the two drivers, and while I can't confirm that, the crossover board certainly looks more complex than what you see in most two-way speakers. Why does it sound so good? The tech details don't reveal all that much, there's a 1-inch (28-milimeter) soft dome tweeter, and a 6-inch (150mm) "mineral-filled PP" woofer.

What about the bass you ask, it's full and weighty, it goes low enough most folks won't ever find a need to add a sub. It's a "lean forward" speaker, the sound pulls you in without ever shouting at you, Treble is clear and clean, but slightly reserved, there's no edge or brightness to the sound of cymbals or brass instruments. By that I mean the vocals had a great sense of body, you feel the singer's presence in the room. Vocals sound remarkably natural and right. There's so much right about this speaker it's hard to know where to begin, so I'll start with the midrange. Unboxing the beautifully finished satin black samples they looked fine, nothing flashy going on here, but once I started listening my ears perked up. I was skeptical, but the buzz was strong enough I requested a pair of their S300 MKII SE speakers for review.
