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

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!
