Best upgrade path from Borresen X3s

   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of his different speakers due to very quick turn around times on new releases..ie..the Z line is being or has been replaced by the C line hence we have seen dealers giving big discounts on that Z line recently..The new L line just came out under Axxess and im told its close to the X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.

Lack of perspective on display...

A 11k X3 speaker sonically seems to beat out 50k+ speakers from certain competitor brands.

Such competitor brands lose 20k, 30k easy on resale.

Some guy lost 2k, 3k on a X3 resale..no big deal!

Thanks for all the comments. I like the AGD "house sound" and so I'm pleased with my initial system. I think upgrading to the X6 speakers next year is my plan. I choose the "buy new" path because I wanted the help from the dealer and I wanted to be sure I was getting product without any hidden flaws or concerns, or at least had a warranty to cover that if needed. I don't think I'll want to spend more than another $20k max on my system. I'll probably buy some more Ansuz pieces also as they do make a difference.

Borresen and their sister company products (in particular cables / accessories) can have close to an 80% margin...that’s why your dealer is giving you 100% trade credit. Borresen / Raidho are infamous for this. You seem like somebody who likes to change their gear, just something to keep in mind...

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
