The review of our Borderland Mk IV by Terry Ellis on his Pursuit Perfect System YouTube channel is without doubt the most enthusiastic review this model has ever received. At the very start Terry makes no bones about how much he likes them: “They are really exceptionally good and I'd go as far as to say these are probably my favourite speakers so far.” Terry goes in to great detail about every aspect of the Borderland’s performance. Here are just a few of his comments: “So, there's no congestion of the middle part of the sound, even though we've got a lot of fullness and warmth there. That balance that the Borderlands strike up I think is absolutely perfect”. "I love the bass from them. Really, really have enjoyed the bass from them. "And I mentioned the vocals. They were fantastic. Detailed, clear, emotive, with fantastic tone, timbre and timing. Fantastic." "Never once do you think like you're listening to speakers and that I think there's the whole point of this type of design. It's to be extremely transparent and to put the sound into the room in a different way." At the end he summed up: "The Borderlands are very different speakers to look at, but I think they look really cool and I like the fact that they take up less floor space than some of the other larger speakers that I've had in here. And yet they still sound like a really big speaker. And it's the bass that's definitely got me. It's got me because I can listen to some electronic music, or some, big vibing reggae. And the pressure, the bass, just makes that music come alive for me. But then the next day, I could listen to some folk, or some classic, or some jazz, or some big female vocalists, or some rock and the Borderlands deliver all of the things you want from all of those (types of) music, like delicacy, or dynamics, or sound stage spatiality."
In the video Terry goes into great detail about the Borderland’s sound. If you have 23 minutes to spare please, do give it a look. Terry is a very good presenter. His genuine enthusiasm for his subject give his videos a compelling level of authenticity. This opinion is clearly shared by many others. Several of his reviews have been viewed more than 100,000 times. The highest viewing figure so far is 415,000 views. From the comments posted on his videos, it is clear that they are watched by people world-wide and not just the in UK.
Our thanks to Terry from all at German Physiks.
