QLN Prestige 3


Hello, I'm auditioning the Borresen X2's side-by-side with my Focal Sopra 2's and wonder if any QLN owners could weigh in on the Prestige 3 or similar models as to the sonic characteristics and equipment with which you drive it. Thanks, Greg

Not perfect circumstances, but I heard the QLN top of the line and Borreson’s at AXPONA. I fell in love with the QLN’s and want to demo a pair, thought I think I could only handle the 1’s in my space. My impression of the Borreson speakers was similar to @avanti1960 , way too tight. I am sure that could be dialed down with the right gear, but not my cup of tea. 

I will have to give Borreson another chance, in a better setting, and with my music. 

I will be picking up a pair of new to me QLN 3’s next weekend. They will be competing against a pair of Raidho D-2.1’s that I bought used in April. The Raidho’s were designed by Borreson, though reports say they are more relaxed than the Borreson line. The 2.1’s are pretty magical in their soundstage, it will be an interesting comparison.

@bluethinker I have been enjoying them, but my audition so far has been marred by some equipment issues, unrelated to the QLN's, but also related. Their sound quality made me more aware of a channel issue than the other speakers I am auditioning and I finally nailed it down and am working on a resolution. More to come once I get back on track. Thanks for asking.
