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!

New C1 stand mount debut at AXpona? Anyone fortunate enough to be there this weekend I, for one, would be really curios to hear your impressions.

I might venture out on Sunday and drive to Axpona with a friend, their room is always crowded because they know how to set it up correctly. The guys from Borresen and Next Level do a great job at this, so it doesn't surprise me the room is always full! Got well over 200 hours on speakers and they sounded great right out of the box, but even sound more 3D, and play much larger than they look.

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.

I attended the show Friday morning, and yes the C1's are an absolute pleasure to listen to. I made the jump to Aavik 2 years ago, and love my integrated and streamer. The Forte' series that was paired with X1, X2, X3 and C1's are a great combination. The next level team and the entire AGD team are very knowledgeable, and wonderful people, and in my opinion look at music delivery as a function of more than just one sense, they want you to be immersed in the experience. I have placed an order for the X3's days after my Axpona trip, they will replace my PMC 25.26 and be matched with my I-280 & S-280 components. I have a living room with 10ft ceilings to fill with sound, and I look forward to delivery. Looking forward to seeing Tyler and Josh again soon.
