| Borresen X3 at Axpona @ditusa A 2.5-way is when the woofer crosses off above a certain frequency to prevent it from going into the mids, but the midrange driver is not crossed over in the lower frequencies and instead plays the full range, at least from the bottom end. | |
| Why a dearth of some brands on the used market? I also agree with @yesiam_a_pirate regarding quantity produced. Also, there are different types of products made for different types of audiophiles. Not all audiophiles are gear swappers, but those that are tend to be attracted to brands that targ... | |
| Why a dearth of some brands on the used market? It had always been on my bucket list to own a pair of Luxman M-600a amplifiers to use as mono blocks. They are by far not the most expensive or coveted Luxman amp, but they rarely show up used in excellent condition - seems people are listing ones... | |
| Borresen X3 at Axpona @ditusa While there are two crossover points, the low crossover in the Borresen just denotes where the bass driver(s) starts to roll off into the mids. The midrange tends to perform at the full range until the high frequency crossover point, so th... | |
| Borresen X3 at Axpona @ozzy You’ll be surprised given both Borresen’s and Scansonic’s cabinet innovations. The smaller Scansonic MB-2.5B can fill a medium to large room with no sub, and it only has two 4.5” woofers. My Borresen 02, with similar drivers, do the same but... | |
| Borresen X3 at Axpona @dayglow yes, most Borresen speakers are 2.5 way speakers. I suppose they are able to deliver better performance having the midrange play the full set of low-end frequencies instead of crossing them over. The same applied to my Z3 and 02. I am a... | |
| Borresen X3 at Axpona For the X and Z series, I believe the cabinets are made in China, shipped to Denmark, and then the speaker is assembled in Denmark. I’m not sure if the same applies to the 0 and M series. | |
| Borresen X3 at Axpona I agree they sound wonderful for the price. I just wish they looked as good as the higher end lines. I’m not fond of the cabinet and baffle design as well as the checkered print on the speakers. The X3 is basically their response to Scansonic MB... | |
| New Model Alert = Aurender AP20 Integrated amplifier. @hgeifman “Superb” is subjective based on sonic preferences and personal standards. I found that while the unit sounded very clean, it did not have the richer harmonics that I appreciate in some upper-echelon solid state amplifiers from T+A, Audio... | |
| New Model Alert = Aurender AP20 Integrated amplifier. I agree, the Aurender AP20 sounded really good. It’s not going to be endgame reference for diehard audiophiles that are accustomed to reference separates, but it will be endgame for most. I would love to hearing streaming on this against, say, the... | |
| DH Labs Hey @gochurchgo I sent you a message earlier regarding the Deity, not sure if you got it. Happy to chat about them in more detail. | |
| Margules ACRH - 3 Congratulations on the new amplifier! I am a Margules dealer and have been very impressed with how involving and engaging the sonics are from their equipment. I don’t have the ACRH-3 but have heard it at shows (listened to it a bit as Julian Margu... | |
| T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers @ozzy You heard the previous generation, the Solitaire CWT. Those were also very good. The new, larger S 540 should be the replacement for that speaker given size and style (four side firing woofers on each speaker, larger sealed cabinets), but it... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report @bubba12 Sure, would love to meet. I’ll be working at the DH Labs booth a bit, but also splitting time between the T+A room and AV Luxury International when I’m not exploring on my own. Feel free to PM and I can share my cell if you want to coordi... | |
| T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers Hey @oranfoster, thanks for your compliments. Yes, the speakers do come with speaker grills if one does not want to see the drivers, or if they prefer to have the grills on for protection. The grills are magnetic and snap on and off quite easily. ... |
