Best upgrade path from Borresen X3s


I have Forte3 integrated amplified and Borrsesn X3 speakers. I'm quite satisfied and I'm wondering what some "old heads" here would recommend as my upgrade path in 6 months to a year. I want to start saving now for that. Also I have about $20k worth of AGD's resonance and noise reducing accessories.

 

Thanks for you help. I'm a newbie to audiophile audio.

Lack of knowledge.... 11k speakers rarely beat out 50k speakers..oooh, unless your shilling Tekton.   Some guy lost 3 grand on speakers no big deal...I'd say mist of us think 3 grand is a big deal...and it wasn't some guy it was a Borresen dealer

   Before the Borresen fanboys chew me up and spit me out let me say I love MB deigns.Ive owned 3 of his speakers.Ive stated more than once about the pitfalls of buying Borresen designed speakers new and the quick depreciation of his different speakers due to very quick turn around times on new releases..ie..the Z line is being or has been replaced by the C line hence we have seen dealers giving big discounts on that Z line recently..The new L line just came out under Axxess and im told its close to the X series in terms of what you hear?..im seeing a few discounts on the X series as I was offered a sealed pair of X3 for 3 grand under MSRP recently..im sure there are other speakers in the pipeline or ready to be as I write this...I would say if your dealer will give you the full paid amount on the X3 as trade-in to move up the  line( as you stated above)  go for it,You will never ever get anything close to that selling privately...but always when it comes to Borresen design products IMO always buy used to lessen the blow of quick depreciation.

Dayglow......You will have to excuse our good member,,He owns the X3 Borresen speakers so take his comments with a grain of salt and lack of knowledge.The X3 is actually 11k msrp or was,maybe its gone down .Although big discounts abound with that brand it appears right now, but i agree only fools venture to make that comparison.Thanks for pointing out the depreciation is a % thing not an actually dollar amounts which i guess some dont quite get yet.
