"I’m sure the Borresens sound great but the whole R&D and advancements notion is mostly false. The marketing people would like us consumers to believe that’s the case but in reality there exist 30+ year old speaker models that would compete with nearly any speaker in the X3’s price range. Speaker tech has long been more mature than most audiophiles realize. The difference these days is the number of different models that compete at the top echelon, and some at a relatively lower price when adjusting for inflation.

Say What ? 30 yr. old speakers sound as good as any $11K speaker today...That’s quite a statement.....It’s too early in the day to be drinkin’......

And by the way...I've been to many shows and these are the best sounding speakers I 've ever heard under 25K....PERIOD...and I own them!

I had to put 500 hrs. on them and all of a sudden they went from a great speaker to one of the most satisfying and entertaining speakers that I have ever heard...Worth way more than the 11K retail.....but alot of just negative or jealous people on here.

@dave777.................I'm really into "music" and how life-life it is, coming out of a 2 channel hi-fi system...addressing your bass concern ( the purists will hate this but it works) Schiit Audio has a unit The Loki Mini @ $150. It's clean as a whistle and doesn't distort or affect the sound at all but will allow you to boost that bass slightly and take any harshness out of bad recordings.....try it, also when I added the Ansuz Mains 8 Power Box with the active Tesla Coils....wow , that was a difference maker...took the X3's to a totally different level of sound realism....Worth looking into.
