What's the story with Borresen speakers ?

I don't think it was Borresen's intent ever to be a "more affordable" brand. 

The X series was probably a more temporary offering to get their sound in the hands of more individuals and get them talking (get the hype up)....because there's not much of a sonic difference between the X's and the higher models I've heard if you equalize the electronics.

The higher models sounded better because they had their flagship electronics tied to it, no real miracle of the speaker.

Thought I read somewhere that Borrensens don't hold their value in the resale market.

Most of the audio stuff don’t hold their values.I own x1 I bought them $5900 1 yr old.

Too many changes in speaker lines for me to consider Borrensens. Just my own thoughts YMMV.

rsf507..I totally agree,but on the used market they can be a decent to good buy....X3 are trading right at or  under 6k,I think the discussions of the issues with that speaker has not help them holding value on the secondary market . Im guessing 12 months from now under 5k used . Im sure the X series will be in the rear view mirror at Boressen by then..... $5900 on the X1 speakers,maybe maybe not a good buy..im guessing you would be hard pressed to get over 4k for them if that..
