| Borresen Loudspeakers primetime74: totally different speakers, X3 are very Dynamic and do really well on fast music and stereo separation is excellent on the Borresen’s lines. Sonus Faber is manufactured all in house now even the cabinets are made in Italy and are piec... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers Zeno3: Similar results at the show, good sound but once the rooms got overly crowded it was hard to tell, as people were talking etc.. My X1 tweeters have some edginess in the Tweeter realm but that was over come by using my BAT Tube Int. Amp whic... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers I might venture out on Sunday and drive to Axpona with a friend, their room is always crowded because they know how to set it up correctly. The guys from Borresen and Next Level do a great job at this, so it doesn't surprise me the room is always ... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers woots/scslite: I got about 200 on the X1 now, I wanted the X3 but easier to hide the X1 from my wife! The main reason is I don’t have room for floor standers as I too many right now, and I am happy with what I have. You can't go wrong with the guy... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers scslite: So far right out of the box a tad bright, but I am breaking them in with a different Class D Amp. The Naim gear however sounds the best with them so far, and I will try the BAT VK80i on them as well once I get 100 hours on them, as they d... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers I went with the X1 as I have several other Floor-Standers, I wanted a good monitor with good sound and the X1 fit that bill. Speakers just showed up today, will start the break in process.. Still torn on the Axxess Forte’ as the main difference be... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers My X1s are on their way to me now... they had to be sent via freight (145lbs), great thing is I can listen to them before Axpona as I hope they have the bigger models there as well. | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers Woots: Your speakers come in yet, mine did at dealer. Now I have to have them shipped to me, way too far to drive... I thought they would come in smaller boxes as their size isn't that big. Dealer said they came on a pallet! | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers woots: Like you I am a speaker whore! ;) I ordered a pair heard the X3’s almost bought a used pair from a guy in St. Louis they were white and they wouldn’t have worked in my room, WAF factor kicked in. Easier to hide and move around a monitor ver... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers woots: Any idea when your X1 are supposed to make it to the States? I heard first batch of X1s is at the end of March or beginning of April. | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers mbmi: My addiction started in college, roommate hate killer system, then failed out of school, so I went and worked for a record/CD store then a High End HiFi store. Started off with Vector Research boombox then Kenwood Stereo which I still have t... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers mbmi and riaa: LOL, and I thought I had a problem! Well, I usually try and buy since there is very little dealers left near me. I do go to shows still when I can, now I rotate speakers as I don't have the room for collecting, but have had 100's ... | |
| Borresen Loudspeakers Great looking speaker, I heard the Raidho’s and owned some Scansonics, great sound but a touch bright for me. The new shinny coin syndrome and hype have set in, which can make things difficult to choose any speaker. The best way to make any decisi... | |
| Belles Aria Signature and other Int Amp recommendation audioman74: I am resurrecting this thread! LOL I compared this to his MB-200 Mono blocs and very close in sound signature even with the VT-01 running the preamp section. He has isolated the two power supplies and pre/amp section so it doesn't surp... | |
| Shout out to Revival Audio Atalante 3 speakers goldprintaudio: You sold me some JA speakers Pulsar2 love them, more so than any other monitor speakers I have had over the years. Just curious how long does it take to break in a pair of Prisms? Great speaker, I just wish they had better finishes... |
