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!

Woots! Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your taking the leap forward. I'm curious if you've heard the X2's? I have Focal Aria standmounts and getting the itch for more. Axpona in April seems so far away for a listen.

If you have ever been to AXPONA then you know the listening rooms (hotel rooms) are very far from Idea. You will find almost every single vendor their using all kinds of room treatments and gizmos to counteract the boxy rooms with lots of reflective flat surfaces, the big windows, big flat TV’s, headboards attached to the wall, full length mirrors, etc.

 Also most rooms are sponsored by a distributor or retailer, not individual brands.  They want to show off all the stuff they sell, not a specific requirement of a particular piece of equipment.  

I for one would love to hear the X3. West Mi here. Off chance anyone in the area has a pair I’d bring a nice bottle of wine for an hour demo. 😃

Nice. I’m in Fruitport, work out of Grand Haven. If you were willing I’d love to hear them when you get them sorted out!
