Agreed on the new series.
Never could get into the older series.
One of the reasons I like the newer series is Hiroyuki Sanadai's performance. I remember first seeing him in The Last Samurai. -

12V is sufficient, and the LHY power supply Adam recommended is an excellent power supply.

It’s only needed if the power supply it’s connected to is a SMPS. If you’re using a LPS, it’s not required.

Buchardt does make active speakers, but the S400IIs and the P300s are passive loudspeakers.
And yes, a quick search on the 'Net can be effective in providing info and answers. 😉
