Big purchase I only go to TMRaudio. I have 2 purchases from Skifi cables and Red rose speakers all went well.20 yrs ago I bought my diapason adamantes from a guy in Hongkong.All good. Since then I never dealt overseas. Be extra careful nowadays so...

Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
Curiiousjim my guess the X3 are on the dealer. The Harbeth are in his house. You see the Axxes match well with Børresen, as I withness at axpona 2024. Even Steve Huff like the x1 and axxes combo.Arafiq did not like the x3 and axxess combo.  
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions

Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
Arafiq reading your post ? I think your ears prefer the Harbeth. And that’s good. Børresen are amazing speakers but they are not for everyone.I agree maybe the gear and cabling , the room as well did not synergise with the x3. Who knows.  
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
Arafiq If I did not listen to Harbeth and Boressen. I might agree with your comparisons. I both listens on both Borresen and  Harbeth  on audio shows. Why it is always good to audition for yourself , instead of reading. The best way really to choo... 
Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics?
Coralkong is right.  
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
I believe Harbeth speakers are good speakers. But they are not for everyone.Borresen speakers like my x1 will play any music at ease.True you pay the price.  
Audio Cables: All the Same?
Ask Milhorn if cable makes a difference? He will give you the accurate answers.  
Audio Cables: All the Same?
My friend used to tell me. Those who believe cable makes difference are the one who can afford it. Those who does not are the one who can’t afford it.
