I heard the ø1 Silver Supreme Edition at AXPONA about 3 years ago. My jaw hit the floor. Simply astonishing. They filled a large room with full sound and a huge soundstage and even very low frequencies were there. But at $50k + a pair I will have to continue to love my Dynaudio Confidence C1 Platinums (an amazing stand mount in their own right).
Enjoy the X1’s! I look forward to a chance to hear them.
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!
