    Today I talk about four speakers I have on hand here right now and boy are they so different! Prices range from $1200 to $8000 and yes, I have a fave and even my wife has her favorite.
    These are all speakers that can do well with mostly all music but each excels at certain types of music. It can be tough finding a speaker that you can enjoy and live with for the long term and while there are hundreds of models out there I hope there is one you like in this group!
    Enjoy!

    This review highlights one of the big trends: more affordable audiophile quality speakers. This is a great group and this isn’t all of the ones sub $10,000. There is the open baffle Calladans from Clayton Audio that look fantastic for around $3,000. Another web tuber has their Typhon from CSS Audio for around $5,500 and Dynaudio Evoke 50 which is around $5,000 in passive form and a little over $10,000 when active. This is not to say there aren’t better speakers above my arbitrary price point, but I’d wager the law of diminishing returns starts at this point or lower and that the majority of audiophiles will have no problem finding a compelling speaker in this range ($2,000-$10,000). Even if you limit your budget to $5,000-$6,000, there is a lot to choose from!

      Audiophile quality? Yes, absolutely. Hi End? Nope. The 0 series loudspeakers are totally in another league, especially the Borresen 03. The M series is even better.

    • @ccdccd8615
      @ccdccd8615 Před měsícem +3

      @@DaveJ6515 I know this is somewhat arbitrary, but at what price point to you think audiophile ends and hi end begins and do you have an example of an “entry level” hi end speaker?

    I've had Maggie true ribbon speakers. Ribbons in the midrange and treble sound lifelike, 3 dimensional and very addictive

    Wow I found a pair of speakers that make the base and voice of " Crystal Ball Carolin No - Topic " sound fantastic. The two speakers are mirror images of each other. Each speaker has one 15" woofer, two dome mid-range drivers, and four dome tweeters. These speakers are incredible. Further details: I built them myself back in 1978 for less than $250 each.

    Great review! I am curious why not bring in the Borresen X2. Obviously more expensive, but by the time you get the X1 and stands, the price is similar.

  • @arunaryan1983
    @arunaryan1983 Před měsícem +2

    I have been listening to the OGY with a pair of powered subs and these are phenomenal. I am coming from the Zu Audio Soul 6 and the subs are Zu Audio Undertone 3. Truly a remarkable pair of speakers.

  • @Jeep_on_audio
    @Jeep_on_audio Před měsícem +5

    I can tell you why the Børresen sound the best. There is no substitute for speed. You can't 'room correct' speed. You can't get more speed with equalisation. That's why ribbons, AMT's and planars sound better when filtered properly (steep; 3rd order or more).
    That's why the Buchard is limited in the treble. A 19mm dome is never as fast as a ribbon.
    It's like that with cone surface for the bass. But that's where subwoofers come in. Also the best spot for subs is never the same as the best spot for the main speakers.

  • @brianesbaugh6897
    @brianesbaugh6897 Před měsícem +3

    If the Borresen X1 is anything like the Borresen X3… They would be a phenomenal speaker.
    Even though I’ve only “listened” to them through a moderately priced set of headphones on CZcams… They are some of the most impressive speakers I have heard recently, for sure

  • @keith6872
    @keith6872 Před měsícem +3

    Verygood. I like the X1 but they look like they stand taller than most bookshelves. These probably would not work well in my smaller listening room with 6 foot listening distance. I think Thomas's $1200.00 speakers will work best for most people.

    Hi. What has the X1 over the S400 ll ? How much of an upgrade it would be? I am very pleased with the Bouchards. Beautifull sound powerded by a Naim Atom. Is the soundstage more precise ?🤭

    How do the X1 compare to Focal bookshelf speakers like the Sopra 1? I am considering an upgrade from Sopra 1 to X1 but don't know if it's worth it.

    • @ratingsdad
      @ratingsdad Před měsícem

      Wondering the same thing. And wondering if they have enough bass for a $5500 speaker or should I go for a floor stander. You can get used Focal Kanta towers or Perlisten R7t towers for about $6K. Would those be better than the Borresen?

    If we notice that speakers have not the same sounding then at least some of them do not represent Hi FI. Because Hi fi suppose to sound so much real thet average listener can "see" event without actualy using eayes. We cannot call two soudings real - real sounding is one and it is recognizable only by ears. High End is of course another class but again High End maens nothing could be done better because it is already end. Both termins are used wishfully.

    • @gaborozorai3714
      @gaborozorai3714 Před měsícem

      I would agree but it is also true that the ear and mind can adjust to different frequency balances. I also think - and I know this is a very orthodox view - that the term high fidelity only really makes sense if we (the engineers and the playback system) are trying to recreate a performance of real instruments in a real recording acoustic. In such a case we have our memories of real acoustic performances to compare to. Can I imagine being there if I close my eyes? If the "original" is born in the engineer's console then it really is just a question of taste if we like the sound.
