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!

This isn't rocket science!!!  And I'm definitely no rocket scientist, "LOL"......As we all know, buying speakers, like anything else, is highly personal and subjective.  One mans treasure is another mans trash.  Just that simple.  There's a multitude of great sounding speakers out there, in all shapes, sizes, and price points at your disposal, and  Borresen is one of them.  I've heard Borresen speakers at shows on many occasions and each time I heard them, I thought they sounded simply outstanding.  I own a different brand that I think sounds just as outstanding as Borresen, and, so do many, many others.  Different strokes for different folks.  Oh...I thought that's what high end audio was all about.  Happy listening.

I believe that todays high-end speakers are grossly overpriced in general and especially Borresen's upper tier speakers.  Although I do believe that Borresen's entry level line of speakers do represent great value for the money.  Borresen does make great sounding speakers, no doubt.
