What reviewers think

Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Brand highlights

Taking a step back to look at reviewers' thoughts of the brand's entire lineup—not just this product—what stands out most is the following:

LM5

  • Positioning: A compact and high-end loudspeaker designed for buyers seeking a refined performance in smaller spaces.  
  • Description: Uses a carefully engineered cabinet with phenolic laminated wood, a front-firing bass reflex port, and hand-welded passive crossovers, ensuring a clean and controlled sound despite its small size. Compared to the larger LM3 and LM6, its compact design makes it ideal for smaller rooms and lower budget setups while still delivering high-quality sound.

LM3

  • Positioning: A mid-tier two-way loudspeaker focused on delivering clear, balanced sound with a simpler design.  
  • Description: Features an innovative crossover design with high-grade components and a dual down-firing bass-reflex system that enhances energy control and clarity. In contrast to the compact LM5 and the more specialized LM6, its design suits medium-sized rooms.

LM6

  • Positioning: A specialized loudspeaker built with a sealed enclosure for enhanced control and versatility in placement.  
  • Description: Uses a dual-concentric midrange/woofer driver with an Alnico magnet paired with an AMT horn tweeter, all housed in a fully sealed cabinet to achieve precise low-frequency control and tonal coherence. Compared to the open two-way LM3 and the larger LM2, its sealed design makes it suitable for quieter listening environments.

LM2

  • Positioning: A premium three-way loudspeaker that aims to deliver near-flagship quality in a slightly more compact format.  
  • Description: Features a powerful cabinet crafted with 5-axis CNC machinery, phenolic laminated wood, hand-turned bass reflex ports, and a hand-welded passive crossover with high-grade components. When compared to the flagship LM1, it offers similar dynamic performance and sound quality in smaller rooms.

LM1

  • Positioning: The flagship loudspeaker renowned for its majestic design and full-range, dynamic performance.  
  • Description: Features a groundbreaking four-way system with advanced crossovers, massive cabinet construction, and superior components that carefully control and deliver every nuance of the sound spectrum. Compared to the slightly scaled-down LM2 and others in the lineup, its unmatched power and comprehensive performance set it apart for buyers with a high budget and a need for expansive, room-filling sound.

Borresen
M3
283975
/
Released
2023
The M3 speakers are the perfect blend of form and function, which reflects the excellent and highly productive partnership between two great minds in the audio industry – Michael Børresen and Flemming Erik Rasmussen. The sleek and elegant design of these speakers, combined with their outstanding audio performance, makes them a testament to Audio Group Denmark's commitment to audio excellence.
Check Amazon
Børresen Acoustics stands out for its iron-free magnetic motors and cryogenically treated metal components, which reduce inductance for clearer sound. The brand's speakers feature unique elements like zirconium-based 3D-printed baskets and a patented ribbon tweeter design, combined with series crossover networks for phase-locked electrical current across frequencies.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • The M3 presents music with an unprecedented degree of individuality and specificity, without sacrificing tonality, texture, or body
  • Remarkable level of resolution
  • Astonishing transparency and is resolute
  • Accurate tonality and represents timbre faithfully
  • Exceptional high-frequency detail and speed due to a planar tweeter
  • Accepts only banana terminations

Product Considerations

  • The planar tweeter misses the very last measure of extension, shimmer, and effortlessness accomplished by the very best available today
  • Low-frequency extension was limited to the high 20 Hz, low 30 Hz range

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Compared to Magico M9, the M3 has recalibrated the resolution yardstick by which all other loudspeakers must be measured and compared
  • Compared to Von Schweikert Audio ULTRA 9s, the M3 has recalibrated the resolution yardstick by which all other loudspeakers must be measured and compared

Takeaway: The Børresen M3 loudspeakers boldly represent the realization of striking potential in audio and push known boundaries. People who choose the M3 will enjoy a specific level of playback that is unavailable from other loudspeakers.

Wilson Audio
Alexx V
154000
/
Released
2021
The original Alexx loudspeaker, launched in 2016, quickly gained critical acclaim throughout the industry. Alexx benefited from several elements developed during the five years Wilson Audio's founder David A. Wilson, and his unwavering R&D team, brought to life his magnum opus: the WAMM Master Chronosonic. Now, five years after the monumental accomplishment of the WAMM, Alexx V builds upon the original Alexx's success by offering a completely re-engineered performance envelope without greatly increasing the footprint. Comparing the overall size of Alexx V to the original, Alexx V is only 1" deeper and 1" taller while maintaining the same width.
Check Amazon
Wilson Audio is often considered the quintessential American high-end hi-fi brand, a staple in premium audio dealerships across the country. Many reviewers use Wilson speakers in their own home systems, reflecting their reputation for outstanding dynamics, bass depth, and the ability to reproduce classical music with remarkable realism. Wilson focuses on creating an uncolored sound, aiming to replicate the experience of live, unamplified performances.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Sublime image size and expansiveness, coupled with an ability to be driven as hard as your ears or your amps can take
  • A sense of balance to the sound of the Alexx V makes renewal possible, expressive and articulate from the deepest bass to the highest treble
  • Trickle-down benefits from the WAMM Master Chronosonic and Chronosonic XVX
  • Bass performance is otherworldly
  • The Alexx V has the ability to uncover and continue to deliver micro-details at extremely high SPLs, even after that slam of a transient

Product Considerations

  • Some power behind the throne is needed, because the loudspeaker's impedance plot drops to two ohms at 250Hz
  • The dome tweeter does sacrifice the last ounce of micro-detail, compared to the insane resolving power of the best diamond and beryllium drivers
  • The choice of finish needs to be considered with care
  • Cable management can impact performance

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • Compared to the original Alexx, the Alexx V is a massive improvement—closer to a baby XVX in so many ways
  • Compared to the Alexia 2, the Alexx V was more than a mere additive sum, a step-function improvement
  • Compared to the Wilson XVX and WAMM Master Chronosonic, the tweeter is effortless and resolving by normal standards, but no match for the extraordinary levels of detail retrieval

Takeaway: The Alexx V offers a sublime listening experience with excellent balance and dynamic range that allows the listener to get closer to the music. It is a worthy contender for those looking to upgrade their listening experience.

The brand stands out for developing its own technologies in-house, including the Organik DAC with FPGA processing and Space Optimisation, which models room acoustics without needing microphone measurements.
Expand Details

Our Summary

Product Strengths

  • Excellent imaging, providing a strong stereo image for multiple listeners due to wide dispersion and Space Optimisation+

  • Incorporates new amplifier technologies—'Power DAC' for the lower bass and 'Adaptive Bias Control' for the mid and treble—reducing distortion

Product Considerations

  • The midrange dome is exposed, which might be a concern with children
  • Owners of previous Linn systems may find the price difficult to accept
  • Some audiophiles may prefer Linn to trawl its past rather than building its future, and they will want an Isobarik
  • Some audiophiles may not be able to see past the LP12

Comparisons (according to reviewers)

  • The 360 offers significantly improved imaging and soundstaging compared to the Klimax 350

Takeaway: The Linn 360 is a high-end loudspeaker that provides excellent sound quality and flexibility, making it a great choice for enjoying music with friends or for personal listening sessions. Its innovative design and technology deliver a detailed and immersive audio experience.
