Borresen X3 measurements
We have clearance Clarence. Roger Roger, what’s our vector Victor?  
Borresen X3 measurements
I guess Perlisten is looking a bit better now. :) Im sure the Borresens are fine speakers too. It’s too subjective to take anyone’s word for it. It’s different from other audio equipment. I think measuring things is important, but speakers are so... 
Hegel H120 or H190
@grislybutter As an owner of a Hegel h390 let me take a stab at explaining the sauce. :) Even at retail you get a lot for the $. You have a high quality DAC, a streamer, and a very capable amp that, yes, does sound very good. They are powerhous... 
Hegel H120 or H190
Used 390’s can be had for about 3000. If it were me I’d try to stretch.   
All in One amp up to $7k
Why can’t you ship Hegel to your country? A 590 would be amazing.     But if you can’t, then I’d look into Michi or Accuphase.   
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
I got my Hegel 390 new for 4500. I can’t imagine a better deal for what can be an end game all in one system. Just add speakers. 👍🏼 And a preowned h590 even better at 5k.   
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
I’d also consider Perlisten S7T/R7T and the new Arendale flagship towers.    I have a pair of Perlisten towers and find them to be incredible bang for the buck. Even at list price. But especially below.   
Oh my goodness!
If you’re not happy with what you have, you’ll never be happy with what you get. Sure, I often think about upgrading this, changing that, fantasize about what I’d get if I came into 100k in disposable income, but 95% of the time as I listen to wh... 
Power cord upgrade
@dougthebiker  I think your speakers may have contributed a little. :)   
Power cord upgrade
@zlone   I apologize. I was confusing its copper with another cable. Voodoo states it’s 8 AWG, and uses silver plated high purity copper, each strand individually insulated, Teflon dialectric (the best save for air), gold plated tellurium coppe... 
Power cord upgrade
If you just must have a high end PC, you can get one for $460 shipped new. Voodoo cables Vision. 8 gauge OCC copper, multiple gauges, teflon dialectric. Very high end connectors. Tough outer jacket. And perhaps it’s biggest draw. It’s thick and l... 
Help needed with new integrated amp.
It’s also possible you’ve become slightly more sensitive to certain frequencies. I find that happens to me. Some recordings really bring it out.   
When I listen to my system.......
I do a mix of both. There are times I’m listening to how well my stsyem sounds. And  times I’m just listening to music I like. Ideally all the music I grew up with and love would also sound amazing but sadly that’s not the case. Luckily I’ve devel... 
Power amplifier longevity… thoughts?
You can get an almost new hegel h390 for about $3000. Maybe $3200. It’ll drive almost anything and no need to worry about old caps.   
Best low budget speakers for a Levinson 383 Integrated amp
Dynaudio special 40.  Q acoustics  Used pair of 805-S series. They’re phenomenal and under 2k.  Buchardt
