Borresen Loudspeakers

@deep_333 PM me, and I can share some pictures.  Essentially, a 4 1/2-inch drive and a ribbon-type tweeter that sit on a stand ($1100 per pair) or can be used as a bookshelf-type speaker.  I am actually putting mine on a credenza.

OP, thanks for the post.  I had a "ticket" but was unable to attend.  It was no doubt a good opportunity to hear the Borreson speakers in a well sorted-out room.  Any impressions of SQ would be appreciated.  I am especially interested in the X1's as I have a small room, and like to listen to vocals at lower volume.  Thanks.

.. @woots... no, they are $5500 pr. The X-3’s that I own are $11,000 pr. That is a floorstander, and what a floorstander they are! It took 500 hrs. to break in those woofers... They produce a tight deep room-filling bass that is perfect for MUSIC.. . it’s not for home theatre use dummies.... it’s for the accurate reproduction of 2 channel MUSIC.... The Audio Group Denmark is on the forefront of the latest cutting edge technology in the audio industry.... Their rooms in Tampa were among the 3 best sounding rooms at the Tampa show last year.... along with MBL and ATC.... 4 what it’s worth, Steve Huff picked them as the #1 company in the entire industry for innovation and being forward thinkers.... some people on this thread show there sheer lack of knowledge about this company and their products. There are alot of wooden boxes out there with bloated bass in the 11K arena.... audition these before you speak and embarrass yourselves..... Congrats on your beautiful new X-1’s. ps. The X-1's and X-3's use the same ribbon tweeter that's on their more expensive speakers...vocals sound like a real person is sitting between your speakers. ADVICE:  Don't knock them until you actually hear them...you'll change your tune.

Bookshelf speakers are deficient in the base area. Most people I know who bought these things end up buying subwoofers. Also the drivers are too narrow, I’ve never why drivers keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller. Their marketing hype is they fit anywhere that’s not right.

They are incredibly over priced for a bookshelf. What’s so special about this cabinet. So if you buy these speakers you reimbursing them for all the marketing costs and they’re marketing efforts don’t really speak about merits of the speaker.

They do look nice so I guess I'll buy some

My experience is , that  Audiovector is equal good for less $$$.
