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!

I attended the Pacific NW Audiofest last summer.  Lots of overly loud rooms, questionable music with the once in a while random room playing music I liked at a volume I could tolerate. 

After most of a day I found myself downstairs on the main floor cruising through cds and records.  I bought some and upon leaving I heard a female vocalist down the hall.  I knew that live music was a part of the show and headed down the hall to check out the band.

It was the Borrenson room.  Speakers I can't afford and electronics I would die for.  I didn't care.  It was the only room I visited that sounded like music. 

I'm looking forward to the show this year and hope to buy a pair.  I don't care about the physics, or the size of the woofers.  They sounded like real live music.  And that's all I care about.
