I attended Axpona yesterday (Friday) and the Next Level room featuring Audio Group Denmark components provided an exceptional listening experience; as a bonus, I had a nice chat with Michael Borresen, engineer of AGD’s brands, and the NA rep. The C1’s, perhaps benefitting from the complementary engineering of all components, fought well above their weight class (C1 SRP is $16k and the entire demo system cost about $35k per AGD). Have a listen if you are attending, I would appreciate other views.
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!
