| Boressen speakers @prof The curved diffusor sounds very interesting and not that expensive. I think I might order one next month to try it out. Can it go on the wall behind the speakers? When you say it is placed behind and between your speakers, do you mean it's p... | |
| Harbeth Hl5 plus and room size? With 8 ft ceilings I think they will work just fine. When I had them in my media room (20x15) they sounded really good. Adding two subs (REL S/510) took their performance to the next level. If you end up buying them, I highly encourage you to add ... | |
| Boressen speakers @auroravengeance I hope you're able to share your impressions of Borresen X3s when you get a chance to demo them. I've never heard the Gryphon EOS2 speakers but good to know that they compete with Borresen. Please let us know what you think of X3... | |
| Boressen speakers @blisshifi Joseph will sound more full, a bit bloomier than the X3. I really appreciate your feedback. I actually prefer speakers that are more full sounding with a bit of bloom. I'll take these two characteristics over clarity and speed any... | |
| Top two most important sound qualities Lack of grain, tonality, soundstage depth. I used to be big on soundstage width, pinpoint accuracy, and hard hitting bass. For some reason these have become less important over the years. Not sure why. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I’ve been contemplating getting the latest firmware for Pontus II. Haven’t scrolled through this entire thread but wondering what is the consensus so far? I’ve heard some people disliked it so much that they went back to the original state (is it ... | |
| Boressen speakers @blisshifi I think you mentioned that you have heard the new Borresen X3s as well. I currently own Joseph Audio Perspective2 Graphene and wonder if the X3s might be a step up. To be honest, I'm more than happy with the Perspectives. The X3s have t... | |
| Harbeth Hl5 plus and room size? By themselves, I would say they might struggle in such a big room. But if you're willing to add a sub or two, they might work. How high is the ceiling? If you can afford it, I think M40.x will be a better fit for your room. But SHL5+ should work ... | |
| Boressen speakers @rsf507 I agree with your comments regarding the Borresen (and Aavik) gear being highly musical. In my opinion, they have found the right balance between musicality and detail retrieval/resolution. When I bought Luxman 590AXII, I was told that it ... | |
| Boressen speakers I own an Aavik integrated amp. I got here after owning several popular brands including, but not limited to, Luxman, ARC, Naim, Audio Hungary, Rogue Audio, Raven Audio, etc. For my preferences, the Aavik U-280 that I own is superior to everything ... | |

| New KEF R11 META : The Real Giant Killers ! Haha!!! If Rick had his way, giants would be extinct by now 😁 | |
| New KEF R11 META : The Real Giant Killers ! One of my friends is a little over six foot eight inches ... do I need to warn him not to buy the R11s? | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? I know a local audiophile who sold his Harbeth speakers for Omega a couple of years ago. He went back to Harbeth. Doesn't take anything away from Omega but to suggest that they're ignored because of the cheaper price tag does not make much sense. ... | |
| Gustard R26 vs hi end streamer @curiousjim I have not updated my Pontus yet. I’m a little apprehensive after reading the experiences of some people as reported on the other thread here. Looks like some people disliked it so much that they reverted to the original state. It sou... |
