Jason, give'm hell!! Your enthusiasm has me overwhelmed.
Really enjoyed your breakdown on these speakers. Especially how they need to be further away from the wall to bring out the the nuances of the soundstage.😉👍🏽
I attended the Keith Jarrett concert that night and I can tell you that the recording on CD is just as beautiful as the live performance but in a different way. Reproduced music can be better than "being there" or vice versa depending on the individual artist and the recording, mixing and mastering techniques. These seem to be beautifully designed and crafted speakers and I can't wait to hear them up close and personal.
The listening experience of a live performance can vary quite a bit depending on the listening position of each person in the audience. A well recorded performance can indeed many times sound as good or better than being in the audience when performed live, because presumably the microphones have the best seat in the house.
To me a live show is all about the atmosphere of being there.
Listening to recorded music at home is all about the music.
That price point has always been my dream speaker purchasing limit. I don’t think I could ever do it. My family would kill me:) great review and beautiful speaker
right?! there's something about 'roughly ten k' that seems like An Important Milestone Along The Journey
I liked the review. Gave me a real sense of what to expect from what u experienced.
Excellent review. We at HiFi-Loft in NYC love the Boressen speaker.
I had to watch this review at 1.5X speed and suggest anyone planning to do so do the same. My aural memory is not great but everything said in this review rings true to me. I spent 30 minutes with these and about an hour with the M3 at AXPONA this year. The X3 has the same flavor or 'house sound' as the top end of the Borresen line, so much so that paying $250K more for the the M3 became even more incomprehensible to someone of my means than paying that much for a speaker in the first place. The only thing I severely dislike about the speaker is the carbon details on the cabinet and the woofers. I viscerally dislike the 'carbon fiber' aesthetic on almost everything, but especially elements designed to exist in a living space.
2x here
Also, spectral balance was way off, imo.
Lapel mic coulda been higher up and on the lapel,
... eliciting needed warmtg and level via proximity effect, and less room by default.
Yeah, that's splitting hairs.
It's odd ... we've got everything at our fingertips, anytime we want it ... and we want more!
Loved this review, these speakers are actually attainable by the common man. I wonder if the new Hegel H600 would be a good match for these?
🔥🔥🔥
Good review, I fell asleep after 3 minutes
Oh, I guess you’re expecting an action movie. But sure he’s a little dry sounding.
1 minute for me....ugh.
Come on guys. Sigh
Wow!!!!!!!!! You outlasted me by 2 and half minutes! The sad thing is that when I woke up and FORCED myself to listen to the end (though admittedly I had watched other reviews of the speaker), I was none the wiser having done so........
Speed up the playback 👍
I LOVE Michael's speakers, some of the best at the price for certain, and perhaps at any price, depending what electronics and room you have to work with. JK needs to either INCREASE his meds or DECREASE his dosage. Please provide music samples as well; we understand the limits of your equipment, rooms, etc. STILL MUCH BETTER than no music sample. Some modest channels do it quite well. Maybe try again, on the same speakers. :)
Nice review, specially for those in the usd20+k budget within range of the Audiovector R series that’s also over performs.
Are the fronts of these speakers tilted back or vertical? Also I am wondering what's a tweeter hight from a floor.
How are these projecting the sound at you to the podium lets say at row 3 or row 6? And do they rock?
How do they compare with the Magico A3 or Focal Kanta No.3
I would want a bit more bottom end extension and a wider sweet spot for my $11kUS. Also efficency is not great at 88db @4 ohms
Which would be great amp to pair with X3?
I liked the review. Conversational - albeit side sided.
🤔Borrensen X3 Crossover UA-cam photo intro video have?
Sorry to say but I wish this review was as engaging as the speakers themselves!
my speakers use ribbon tweeters and these alone have changed my entire experience of music.
--but my ribbons are *half* as wide as these Børresens' ribbons they must be to-die-for when they start goin'.
oh man i just saw the crossover network.
it's all top tier stuff--only air core inductors, only poly capacitors, they even throw in a toroidal transformer (???)
so, how does Rammstein sound on these speakers ?
I bet they sell pretty good
i echo the same sentiments of some of your viewers and can only add that watching grass grow is a much faster and rewarding experience. no offence really, but why couldnt Tom Martin do this review?
correction. 9,999.00-pound sterling = $12,298, but whos counting, right. for that much $ theres many great options, if you have a large room. those tiny 4'' speakers might not be enough. these towers would be great in a midsized room or smaller
Sloth on cannabis speaker review.
Yamaha NS 5000 uses the identical aramid fiber across all drivers.
Looks nice but I can’t get over those tiny “bass” drivers
"Brought to you by... Valium for Audiophiles" ! Stay calm and pass the lip balm 😂
hahhaha... I came back to read these again. Got me to laugh here =)
One would think that a reviewer representing Absolute Sound would have a decent microphone setup so we could actually hear what he had to say. I stopped trying after 41 seconds.
I can every word clearly on a mobile phone speaker.
@@n.lyndley.9889 The audio was not up to the standards of someone representing The Absolute Sound. I don't want to listen to poorly reproduced voices and more than poorly reproduced music.
Mikey is not to be outdone by Wilson Benesche. He employs the carbon fiber approach. Show us the inside please!!!
Yikes. For a moment I thought this guy was going to jump out of his chair.
You didn't used microphone 🎤 . Sound like bathroom 😅😅
Jason: You need to improve the audio of your speaking. Can't understand you -- you are swallowing your words and the mic pickup is terrible. Not representative of an audio company like AS.
I’m listening on an old mobile phone and can hear every word clearly.
Guys stop putting this substack thing to every video. It’s annoying to hear the same thing over and over again.
Jeez, that guy has creepy vibes. Could be a great guy, but comes across about as disingenuously as an insurance salesman.
I believe these are magnificent speakers, probably unbelievable….. Could the reviewer be a little more energetic and magnetic in his presentation… I don’t want to disrespect but how droll can we be….
Boring....
But better then someone like Darko. He is entertaining but everything he says is bollox.
@@AlbertKel Darko is better.
one always knows where darko is coming from. i wanna believe you are not just absurdly lucky to have some 300,000 subscribers solely on his pretty face.
@@RogerBergqvist darko just talks, but he don’t know what he is talking about. Slick production and giving people confirmation that they purchased a great product. That is what he is all about.
I want to do a voice over for this with some ACTUAL enthusiasm. ... B O R I N G.
... The audible pausing between words EVEN at 2x the speed ... are worse than William Shatner's acting.
I LOVE this product ... and I respect the idea of marketing with media content... but honestly, .. how is this tone and pace of presentation attracting buyers?
God, dammit Scotty we need more power in the presentation
Yeah, pathetic, snoozer city.
😂Keep talking & Talking & no live demo on Youtub😢 again. Making potentially buyer really realty Pissed off again.
Lot of reverb in that room. I hope the review not is made when listening in that room. Would be a useless review.
Sorry to be rude but who thought it was a good idea to have the most boring man in the world do this review??
Looks like a wonderful speaker but that guys voice just made me go to sleep
