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!
I don't see any brand hyping, just a lot of interest in a product which may be moving the performance/price ratio. If they are really good, we will soon know, if they are just another high priced speaker we'll soon know also. So far, A lot of positive excitement from people who have accually heard the x series speakers

I've had the X2s for over a week now and they have hardly broken in yet but they are the best speakers I've had to date. I'm limited in the space I have in my dedicated listening room (~15x20), so mostly had stand mounts or smaller footprint towers such as the Totem Tribe Towers in the past. Up until now I've always wanted a speaker that can reproduce percussions well. I consider myself a bass head and the Borresens are quite incredible in how much bass they can fill a room. Even with my sub turned off it still produces bass with authority. The best part is the bass such as the kick drums are a punch to the chest which is exactly the sensation I'm looking for. The quality of the bass is fast, articulate, and amazingly deep. Can't wait for them to open up even more with time and additional placement/positioning to fully lock them in. |
I don’t find allure in your wording, lol. I don’t mix more than two body cavities and music. Personal preference, obviously. 😉 Just let a fella enjoy the excitement over a renewed 2-Ch experience, hey? Properly implemented multi-Ch immersive sound is a neat new toy, but requires a lot of computing overhead in either kit or owner, and aims for something the vast majority of owned / streamed music isn’t (yet) optimized for. It’s also truly a matter of taste whether it bests more traditional approaches. Sounds like you and OP like the same speakers - ain’t that enough!? 😆 |
