Borresen Loudspeakers

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. 😃

@mofojo I’m getting the X1 but I do live in West, MI. 

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! 

To those who have actually heard these new speakers, including the OP, you all seem to have the same reaction after hearing them, which is to say they sound fantastic and they sound bigger than bookshelves. Your word means 100X more than others, and you are also substantiating what @jays_audio_lab has said in his livestream.

I just purchased a pair of Audiovector R6 Arette’s but I wish I could have heard some Borresen’s for comparison in my region before buying. Not an option unfortunately. Audiovector cabinets are also made in China with all else made in Denmark. Great to see another Danish brand shaking up the market with innovative products!

One practical downside to these narrower style speakers including Borresen and Audiovector - they are tippier!
