Boressen speakers


i had the chance to listen to these last year, also planning to listen to them in Munich this year.

I look to purchase a pair not sure which model yet

What is your experience?

Good Morning @joe2022 , I've owned a pair of the z3 Cryos for a few months now and can offer a few thoughts...

First, they really are exceptionally accurate. The moving mass of the tweeter is so small compared to most other speakers that it's like the finest MC cartridge. The sheer clarity of the sound, provided that they are positioned well, gives the listener that three dimensional sound we all crave. Remember looking through a GAF Viewmaster as a kid? That sense of depth was magical. Even coming from other quality speakers that's the sensation we get when listening to our new (used) Borresens. As far as the low-end goes, I've been able to move my pair of JL Audio d110's to a couple of my other systems. The Z3's completely satisfy my need for deep, even home theater deep, bass. For movies and TV, we simply have an optical cable linking the TV to our DAC for a 2.0 home theater. My wife and I watched a movie last night and about half way through I kinda noticed the speakers and it was funny because the sound didn't seem associated with them at all. The old cliche became true: they simply seemed to disappear. The sound field was immersive, complete from top to bottom, and just plain fun. 

Our stereo is simple, an Accuphase E-5000 integrated amp fitted with the DAC-60 option board, the Borresens, a NODE, and a great analog rig. A dedicated 20A line is pending.
