Borresen X3


Hello,

For those who have had the opportunity to hear and or own the X3 I am very interested in your impressions/opinions. 

Thank you.

The X3 is a phenomenal speaker way better than the Focal Kanta 2, well worth the $11,000 asking price, there's one speaker I like better though and that's the monitor audio platinum 200 and 300 G2 and G3.

The Cabinet on the X3's is worth 11K. The beautiful music that they produce is just icing on the cake!

I think mtbiker29 makes an important observation at 50.8 x 13.6 x 23.9"   the X3 is a somewhat large and deep cabinet. I don't think I have the room necessary for a rear-ported cabinet that deep which is too bad as I think the X3 has a lot to offer for the price of $11,000. In reasonable comparison, for example, the Perlisten S5t is priced at $13,900 but does have the Beryllium tweeter. The cabinet size is more room-friendly at 44.1 x 9.5 x 15.8”. and can be configured as sealed or ported which is desirable in my opinion.  
I am impressed by both designs. Better yet, the possibility of a good amount of value preowned in the 8-10k range between the two. 

All the Borresen sht is so overpriced for what it actually is. Get a pair of the Yamaha NS5000 speakers+Rythmik or GR Research subs, pair it with something like a Luxman C900u/M900u or some Gryphon piece. Spend the rest of your cash on a dedicated room+competent treatments/get in touch with Acoustic fields and go to town with their ACDA. Watch all the Magicos, Borressens and Wilsons crumble to dust after that.

Spend in the right places if you wanna achieve audio nirvana dude.
