Borresen X1 & X2


I recently demoed these speakers and thought they were great, but I heard strange imaging on the X1. The soundstage was absolutely huge, but the vocals were on the ceiling above my head on the demo tracks the dealer played. On some other tracks, it wasn't as pronounced, but they were still very high, maybe 10ft above the speakers. The room we were in was large and had very high ceilings. 


Then we switched to the X2, and they didn't do that. The image was still huge, but down to a normal height maybe 6ft off the floor. 

At first I assumed it was something to do with the room acoustics, but it was different with the different models. 

Anyone hear these speakers and notice what I did?

Entirely possible....I couldn’t disagree with anything about the psychological side which then brings in other aspects of us like our emotional state at the time of listening or altered states due to getting high in one form or another...

Regarding speakers, manufacturers designate varying hours needed in their opinion to hear their speakers at their best. So, I also think there are speaker changes beyond 20 hours though to what degree seems up for grabs...These and other factors influence our perception of a drink or food or cigar as being exceptional one time and the next not so much. So much going on in and around us when we switch that music on. One of life’s greatest joys for us.

Traudio Read the review of Steve Huff on Borensen x1. He never experienced what you have on x1.My friend who has been audiophile 40yrs who has an excellent listening skills, who listen to my x1 was very impress and did not experience what you have , Idid not either .So no the x1 is not the issue,

I've seen it. 

I mentioned before that I believe the dealer had accidentally reversed the +&- on one of the cables. I wish I would have checked when I was there and surprised he didn't notice it. 

Traudio I wish you did examine it. Your thread will affect x1 buyers. If I did not have my x1 . I might not get one. Glad I read Steve Huff reviews .
