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!
I listened to the X1 with the Forte 1 in Dubai last weekend. Very good. For the size they are, they do surprise you. For the folks on this thread who have bought the X1- are you still enjoying them? Additionally, has one had an opportunity to listen to the L1s? Better still has anyone able to do a comparison with the X1? regards, Manu |
dxbwineguy I just received my x1 6 days ago with a stand. It’s almost mandatory to buy the stand. The speakers looks amazing so the stand. The musicality of the x1 will make you stay longer and listen. So far I listened to them daily 4 to 8 hrs. Yes I heard them with axxes they match well .i used plinius sa100 amp.Match made in heaven.Though Steve Huff said they are not hard to find amp mate.I agree. |
@jayctoy thank you. I am torn between the X1 and the L1. The cost difference is 2x. Can listen to the L1s in the Dubai in Sep. Will wait and then decide. Happy listening on your X1s. Manu |
Aside from the good looks/high WAF, the Sonus is not a competitor to the Borresen across the board. Uncle Faber may need to go back to engineering school and take more risks in life. A couple of speakers that trade blows, i.e., competitors with the Borresen in a similar price bracket are the new KEF Reference Meta floorstander and the Wharfedale Elysian.
