At $18k for the 8s places it in a very competitive list of loudspe... | |
| Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp? @patrickdowns Thx for taking the time to reply! I always appreciate a well thought out and mature response. FWIW Fyne Audio especially the F1 series have top level build and parts quality. These will be near the top of my demo list at Axpona 20... | |
| Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp? @patrickdowns Be very skeptical about over the top rave reviews when regarding budget components. These high profit(%) products need to be sold in volume and quickly before the next claimed "Giant Killer" appears. Remember the speaker is only 1 ... | |

| Borresen X3 measurements Borrensen’s marketing(trickle-down theory) has convinced(brainwashed) many that the X3 shares many sonic virtues and quality of the upper level Borrensen loudspeakers which is not true. It’s unclear where the X3 is assembled, where the cabinets an... | |
| Borresen X3 measurements IMO the important issue here is NOT that the X3 measured poorly but the sound I heard at Axpona 2023 was a speaker that was not musically coherent. | |
