Borresen X3

Lars knows how to make a show impressive, I’m not an end all measurement freak, but look at how their speakers measure and then consider what kind of music those speakers will take to the next level and what types of music will fall flat? When I read Raidho back when MB and LC were heading the show charged $40-$50k to upgrade their speakers and the price included flying those 2 gents to do the work and hotel them for a night I realized their prices were entry costs for the cigar smoking rich guys club and had nothing to do with music quality. Cryogenically frozen drivers!!! pleeze.

Heard them for about 30 minutes at the Southwest Audio Fest. They were very impressive. Wide and deep soundstage, with  great detail and instrument separation. The detail and wide deep presentation was their strength. I not am sure how I feel about their cosmetic appearance. They look quality built but not my favorite appearance.

All the Borresen sht is so overpriced for what it actually is. Get a pair of the Yamaha NS5000 speakers+Rythmik or GR Research subs, pair it with something like a Luxman C900u/M900u or some Gryphon piece. Spend the rest of your cash on a dedicated room+competent treatments/get in touch with Acoustic fields and go to town with their ACDA. Watch all the Magicos, Borressens and Wilsons crumble to dust after that.

I'm a little confused after reading this post as I thought you own the X6 model. I'm assuming you wrote this post before you got your X6s? The X6 are too big for my room, and I was researching X3's. Just curious, did the X6 made you change your mind about Borresen? 

P.S. This is a genuine question and not an attempt at sarcasm or trying to make you look bad.

No answer on that! Hmm!
