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!

Don’t forget that Børresen speakers are

always demoed with 150K of Ansuz cabling.

 

And their bass and placement is really tailored to big rooms, just like the Raidhos Michael used to design.

Friend of mine has the big Raidho on 'cheap' blue jeans cabling and it seems to sound sublime..dude has one of the nicer Esoteric dacs, however...

Wow, I get a strong hate vibe from some of the comments on here. What’s particularly disturbing is that I’d bet the majority of the haters have not actually heard the speakers. So much more goes into a quality speaker design than the size of the woofers. Sure, they do cost a lot, as do so many other high-end products, but they are extremely good. Are they a good value? You’d actually need to hear them before arriving at judgement.

Those bass drivers look just like the mids and woofers on my Rockport Avior ii speakers. You say they are custom made in house by Borressen?
