Borresen Loudspeakers

So Jay is the key is the new marketer of this new speaker. The speakers are nice looking but I'm family to understand why they are so good. They are very thin the drivers are very small and they make up for this by adding a couple drivers. That's not the way it should work you need larger diameter drivers to fill rooMs .

I'm failing to see anybody from this company speak about the merits of what they've created. It's all about spending marketing dollars to hype product a huge investment they may lose this Company money.

Basically the drivers are too small

I heard the X3 at last year's Axpona and thought they sounded very good. Maybe a tad light thru the midrange but overall one of the better sounding rooms. I got to talking with the rep and he showed me part of the magic. They were using a lot of their Ansuz noise reduction gizmos throughout the audio chain. He told me to go see their stand mount speakers across the hall and they would explain in more detail about these noise reduction "things". Come to find out these things cost more than the X3 combined. But we heard a difference when several were removed. Very impressive but very expensive. Go figure!

So you need a gizmo to make the speakers sound respectable. Why would they be using gizmos when they showcasing speakers that's a big red flag 

Do you "need" a gizmo to showcase the speakers? No but if you are looking to get their best sound portrayed then a manufacturer does what he thinks will show off the room. But it can and did make a difference from what I heard.

This, in and of itself, is not an accurate generalization. It requires greater driver surface area to “fill rooms.”

That depends on what you want the drivers to accomplish, and how you want them to accomplish that, doesn’t it? 😉
