I had Sopra No2. They have some common traits. Hard to say what I would choose really. My front end is totally different now then I had with the Sopras. Both are great speakers.
@@audiolife5038 ok thanks, I see that you have owned a lot of speakers. I currently use the JBL 4367 (also with JL subs). I have thought about adding a pair of borresen X6 (not replacing the 4367, just rotating in and out). I see you had the JBL 4349 at one point too. Was the JBL sound not for you?
What amp do you connect to X3? I have 03 in 2nd hand condition and sounds dull , lack of clarity and slow. Many amps have tried, except from its own brand, Axiis, but without great result 😢
I used ICE-power 2000AS class D first.. Usually amazing amps, but did not work too well with the X3. Now I use an old Simaudio Moon W5 poweramp and they sound amazing! Be aware that these speakers require A LOT of burn-in time! 500 hrs to sound their best. After 150 they really start to open up! I left them with a burn in disc running with full spectrum noise everyday for weeks while I was at work. Made a huge difference!
They are surgical instruments with crazy detail retrieval! But no harsness or grain. Insane soundstaging and 3D capabilities. They do need some distance to the rear wall though to sound their best. Superb bass output from those small drivers. Very fast, clean and punchy.
@@audiolife5038 I remember talking to you I have the x3's and told you I was getting the audions, I finally got them in black and they are a great synergy with the x3's. The black audions would look dope in your system :O)
@@audiolife5038 One more thing give a listen to Roger Waters live "the lockdown sessions" comfortably numb track, my o my :O) These covid lockdown sessions are so good as they are the live sessions without the crowd noise. Eric Clapton has a live lockdown album also, really good.
@@audiolife5038 Hi I remember I was talking to you and told you I had the X3's and was getting the Audions. Well I got them in black and you were right they are amazing little monos. Sound amazing with the Borresens. You should get them in black, they would look amazing in your black setup. :O)
Borrensen sounded great at AXPONA as well. Beautiful design and finish
wow 👍🏻
wowzers... even tho its not a "good" recording mic you can tell it sounds cleaaaaaan and crisp. still sounds amazing on headphones
It is recorded with my phone like all my videos 🙂
Did you have focal before (based on the center channel?) if so what model and how do they compare?

The Simaudio sounds like bad class D, too. Clean and punchy but decay is truncated and b lacks soul. Basically sounds cheap.
Haha yeah right... Like you would know
sounds very class d.
Sounds very stuck in old myths about class D. I can put out a video of it with my Simaudio Moon AB with the same song and u can compare.
What song? Thanks
Bob James Trio.. "Feel like making love" I think it is
Ok thanks@@audiolife5038

You should just use a $1k Hypex and be done with it. No difference.
I use ICE-power 2000AS
