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.

I’m looking to improve my sound with my next upgrade.

That’s too vague to make any meaningful recommendations.  What specific areas would you like to improve?  If that’s at all hard to answer then the best thing to do is go listen to other speakers to see what you might like better.  If you don’t have some good dealers that are close enough then go to a major audio show or two so you can hear many other speakers and then go from there.

Another option if you like what you have but are just looking for “more” then adding a couple good subs can make a world of difference and be a huge upgrade.  The X3 only goes down to 35Hz so there’s likely a lot more to be had by simply adding subs.  Just another thought FWIW.

Well, you’ve got some pretty good speakers so the key questions would be what specific improvements would you be looking for and your budget.  Also, how big is your room and are you open to moving to a more powerful amp or are you sticking with the Forte3?  Gotta ask — as a relative newbie how’d you get to $20k in room treatments so fast?  Just curious.
