The X series is a bit of a chameleon and appears to be rather drastically tailorable with different electronics for your individual taste.
Borresen X3."Hi Fi" or High End as in natural realistic sound ?
Seeing much praise for the X3 spiked my interest so was able to listen very briefly and was impressed but wondering if long term their "hifiness" (?) as described elsewhere on this forum can wear thin overtime and become too much. FWIW they were being driven with an Accuphase E5000 integrated and from what I remember Ansuz D2 cabling.Note * without optional Ansuz Darkz.
Any feedback from those who have heard them extensively over time is greatly appreciated.

@blisshifi - I am personally biased as I love and own the Borresen product. Understand that preferences differ but I have yet to find a product that sounds so lifelike and real to my ears. It's a bit odd to see your negative sentiment/criticism towards Borresen the last couple of years on this forum. Tyler mentioned to me that a couple of Axpona's ago (2022) you had inquired to request a Borresen dealership and that could have been a possibility once you have/had a brick and mortar store (Borresen policy)...given that history your negative feedback should be thoughtfully considered among the community you aim to serve. |
@rost As I mentioned before, I’m a bit biased. I own the O3 SSE and I do pair them with Aavik products. I absolutely love the X series. If I didn’t invest in the O series I’d be very content with a pair of the X3s and a Forte 3. Every time I listen (and it’s been a few years) I always find content that makes me smile. For me music is a way of life. Alows me to forget reality and enjoy what makes me happy. jeff |
I heard both the X3 and the X6 at Capital Audiofest with the intention of buying either one. They sounded wow for the first 2 min, but I could not relax and listen long term. Different with Joseph Audio or Gershman or Schweikert. |
@tom2015 Tom. All good. That’s the beauty of this hobby. There’s not one shoe size fits all. I’m glad you’re happy with your Rockport’s. Nice looking speakers. Never heard then though. There’s just something that Michael is doing with his knowledge of inductance and such it’s hard to imagine anything better (for me). Enjoy the sounds bro. |
