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!

Having heard Borresen and Raidho’s, I think these speakers are exceptionally good. If one is concerned about ’value’ then it is probably best to not really shop high end gear these days...particularly new gear.

The market for ultra high end is either there, or it is not. The fact that the dealers and manufacturer’s are pushing prices ever higher, would seem to indicate that the market is there. Now the question I have is this....how high is too high? IOW, when we start seeing a pricing structure of gear that equivalents to the purchase of a nice home in most parts of the country, does that illicit push back from the consumers?? So far, it does not seem to be the case...BUT we haven’t seen multi million dollar price tags on numerous speakers and amps, etc,.. yet! I question why?

@audiocanada   I am under the impression that the X series Borresen's are designed in Denmark, but are also made in China.
