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!
@ cycles 2.... The AGD website can be tricky to navigate. The X 3's are listed, but the X 1's are not. Here is a link to them. The X and O series are 2 completely different lines. The O's are a premium line below the M series of speakers.I believe the X3 and X1 will be in different rooms on the 6th floor in Florida. The M3's will be part of a reference system in a ground level room.

I went to the website because I'm really wanted to learn about these speakers. This is the worst website and very annoying. All I want to see is the speakers and maybe some specs and the model line and it was a major effort to figure out all your website stuff. Why is it so difficult to figure your products out? The people who design the website actually use it? Do the executives at the company get frustrated with their website? |
What your wrote sounds EXACTLY like the kef blades. Especially the imaging and soundstage part i especially like the part where you said they sound like they cost a multiple of their price point… as if you took it directly from a kef review or forum post
Sounds like they are a full decade late to the market |
Since we are talking about this brand what do they do differently that a zillion other companies dont already do what new technologies have they implemented? Design wise they look plane jane and completely uninteresting is there anything unique about this line of speakers? Do they do ANYTHING special in this ultra saturated martket, or are they just another of many |
@questforhifi hearing is believing.....These speakers do many things that speakers twice the price don't. The new X1 sounds so much bigger than a "bookshelf" type of speaker with such a "live" sound that the artist appears to be coming from the middle of the room. There is an unmistakeable three dimensional sound that creates a connection to the music. Imaging and tonality is realistic not muddy or oversaturated. So, for me, hearing the X1 for the first time led me to make a purchase on the spot with @nextlevelhifi. I have spent significant time over the past 2 1/2 years listening to bookshelf speakers from as many manufacturer's as possible all over the country and at this price point nothing comes close. The closest sound in this approximate size is $16k based on what I have heard. I encourage you to take a listen. |
