Borresen Loudspeakers


Had the opportunity to attend the launch event of the Borresen X1 loudspeakers last night in Chicago @nextlevelhifi ​​​​​with @jays_audio_lab. From their M6 at $550k per pair all the way down to the newly launched X1 speakers last night at $5500 your ears will smile. Amazing what a 4.5” driver can do. If you are in the market for any price range speaker about $5,000 and up you have to hear these. Imaging is 3 dimensional, larger than life soundstage and just absolutely stunning performance with a look that will fit any room. This manufacturer out of Denmark really gets it and I don’t care what price point you are looking at these speakers will out perform speakers double the price.  If you are buying speakers up to $25k you have to hear their $11k option.  The rep for Borresen is hitting all the shows/events over the next several months in the US. Oh, and by the way, I loved the X1 so much I bought the first pair that will ship to me in early March!

That’s not the way it should work you need larger diameter drivers to fill rooMs .

This, in and of itself, is not an accurate generalization. It requires greater driver surface area to “fill rooms.”

 

Basically the drivers are too small

That depends on what you want the drivers to accomplish, and how you want them to accomplish that, doesn’t it? 😉

In a properly dialed-in multichannel music rig, you would hear no speaker or know where any sound came from ...except that the music will be all inside of ya before you knew it (in your head, inside every body cavity, etc), overwhelm you/ take over to the point where the audiophile’s thinking mind and all the squirrels in his head get shut down (bam)...nothing left but the music.

 

I don’t find allure in your wording, lol. I don’t mix more than two body cavities and music. Personal preference, obviously. 😉

Just let a fella enjoy the excitement over a renewed 2-Ch experience, hey? Properly implemented multi-Ch immersive sound is a neat new toy, but requires a lot of computing overhead in either kit or owner, and aims for something the vast majority of owned / streamed music isn’t (yet) optimized for. It’s also truly a matter of taste whether it bests more traditional approaches. Sounds like you and OP like the same speakers - ain’t that enough!? 😆
