Borreson X2


Has anyone heard the Borresen X2? I have read reviews on the X3 which seem quite favorable for the money. However, there isn’t much feedback on the X2 (smaller sibling). Does anyone here own the X2, or has anyone heard them at their local dealer?  I’ve seen a few videos and reviews that mention the X series may lack soundstage depth. Curious what others think of this speaker. Thank you in advance for any input on this speaker.

I own the X-3's......They sound like "live music" . The soundstage width plays way beyond the speakers and the depth is in perfect harmony with the width....The X-2 is $8800 US and the X-3 is $11,000. I have not heard the X-2,  it's just now hitting the US. Showrooms...I'm sure Borresen will be showing them in Feb. in Tampa @ the Florida Hi Fi Expo. Just looking at the physical speaker itself....the X-3 is the big value....It looks and plays like a much higher priced speaker and that's a good thing. I'm super happy with mine. They come "alive" after about 300- 400 hours of play. It's hard to beat the looks and sound for 11K !

And the larger the driver....the Slower it is.  The bass setup on the x-3's is more than adequate for Music...I'm not interested in Home theatre. The way Borresen has constructed the cabinets...the bass is deep and FAST and Tight. That's the way Live music sounds. Much cleaner and clearer that 12 or 15 in woofers. Borresen's technology is upsetting the speaker industry norms. You have to experience and judge for yourself.....I love the bass on these. But then again, I love TIGHT TUNEFUL Bass...not the bass that big 12 and 15 inch woofers produce.
