With the S400 MKII still current—no replacement on the horizon as of mid-2026—timing this purchase is solid; these redesigned standmounts with paper-cone woofers and massive passive radiators hold value well, punching above their weight in bass and imaging. At AUD3,250 for a special colour variant in unknown condition, it's ambitious bordering on steep: typical used MKIIs in excellent shape trade for AUD2,200-2,800, based on recent US/EU sales adjusted for our market, with pristine four-month-old pairs fetching under AUD2,500 new-like.
Buyers, verify condition closely—check for cabinet dents, woofer surround tears, or faded passive radiators from sun exposure, common on re-sales. Confirm original box, grilles, cloth covers, and transferable 5-year warranty docs are included; without them, walk unless deeply discounted. Stands often sold separate, so clarify.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
