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!

Well said.....Some of these posters are just plain ignorant and just trying to put down items that they know nothing about and never experienced. They start to get a reputation on AG for poo-pooing everything that's exciting for the rest of us. They are too stupid to realize that after a while the rest of us , that are here to experience  new items and new ideas, loose respect for any dribble they profess....and eventually they are laughed out of here and lose all credibility as someone who can actually add something genuine to these forums.

I heard the Borresen 01's at The Show in LA last year in Next Level's room.  I have never heard such a soundstage.  It was endlessly wide, tall and deep.  The spatial illusion was completely mesmerizing.  Perhaps the best sound I have ever heard.  I ended up buying the Borresen 03's from Tyler at Next Level a couple of months later.  I run them with Ayre Acoustic MXR monos, and QX-5 streaming preamp.  The system sounds amazing at home, although not quite as amazing as Next Level's demo in that small hotel room.

I've heard the X3s at a friend's place a couple of weeks ago and we didn't like them, we found them pretty boring, slow and not lively

We compared them to his Qualio IQs which are much better and less expensive.

Amp used was a Hegel H590 with plenty of power.

This only our opinion, other people might like them.

haha...the X-3's are the Liveliest speaker I've heard in years and I own them....I'm very familiar with the Qualio's and I like them a lot BUT They are definitely more laid back...The Borresens tell it like it is.
