The new Raidho’s vs the new Borressen’s ?

Have you heard the new Raidho’s, TD4.8’s or TD4.2’s?  Reviews are over the moon !  Wondering how they compare to the new Borressen’s Z5’s or 05’s which are also receiving accolades.

I’ve used Magnepan 20.7’s for ten years now and they are great but not necessarily the best “all around” speakers.  My room is very large and the Maggie’s can’t quite fill the space completely.   I’m not unhappy with the Maggie’s but have been lusting for a top-notch dynamic box speaker for many years.  I like a BIG sound with lots of space.  
If you own the big Raidho’s or Borressen’s I’d like to hear you thoughts.  If you have heard these speakers give me your thoughts.  Thanks.

For that kind of scratch I would take a look at these speakers:

Athos 10 + Athos 12 Proven DynamiKKs!


I am not trying to change the topic of your thread.  What I like about them besides the sound is that they make their own drivers.


Happy Listening.

Raidho D-4.1's are very nice. For a bigger room you might need a couple of subwoofers, but you might need these for any speaker. IMO, These would be a huge step up from magnepan's but so is the cost

I have three SVS SB-4000’s that I use with the 20.7’s.  They definitely help!  I use them in a ‘distributed’ configuration; one centered against the front wall, one on the left wall about 3 feet in front of the 20.7, and a third in the rear right corner.

The Borresen 02’s got best speakers of the year award from 6moons!
You could add some subs with the 03's and maybe get even better sound for a lot less money than getting the much bigger Borresen 05’s

Heard the Borresen standmounts, The Raidho XT-5 and the Vimberg Floorstander-$60K? You do not mention the Vimberg as an option
but I put it above the Raidho and below the Borresen.

Borresen has employed a new type of magnet that no one else has
yet-1/1/2 years ago anyway.

To me they sound the most engaging. 

By a ways.

FYI I hear nothing over 9k.
