Best upgrade path from Borresen X3s


I have Forte3 integrated amplified and Borrsesn X3 speakers. I'm quite satisfied and I'm wondering what some "old heads" here would recommend as my upgrade path in 6 months to a year. I want to start saving now for that. Also I have about $20k worth of AGD's resonance and noise reducing accessories.

 

Thanks for you help. I'm a newbie to audiophile audio.

Thanks for all the comments. I like the AGD "house sound" and so I'm pleased with my initial system. I think upgrading to the X6 speakers next year is my plan. I choose the "buy new" path because I wanted the help from the dealer and I wanted to be sure I was getting product without any hidden flaws or concerns, or at least had a warranty to cover that if needed. I don't think I'll want to spend more than another $20k max on my system. I'll probably buy some more Ansuz pieces also as they do make a difference.

Borresen and their sister company products (in particular cables / accessories) can have close to an 80% margin...that’s why your dealer is giving you 100% trade credit. Borresen / Raidho are infamous for this. You seem like somebody who likes to change their gear, just something to keep in mind...

Lack of knowledge.... 11k speakers rarely beat out 50k speakers..oooh, unless your shilling Tekton.   Some guy lost 3 grand on speakers no big deal...I'd say mist of us think 3 grand is a big deal...and it wasn't some guy it was a Borresen dealer

Well, i suppose you could get yourself a pair of ....say Wilson Alexia Vs for about 70k. Set it next to your X3 and start comparing. Determine what beat out what after equalizing the caliber of electronics used for both speakers.

Later on/an year later, try selling that Alexia V and see if you can get 30k for it. If 3k is a big deal, a 40k Alexia loss could hurt the feelings a lot more, i’d think..

 

I'll just add my voice to those who have asked what the OP is trying to "improve."  You'd think for the dollars in play that one would be able to identify some specific traits in the current setup that are weak compared to what he would like.
