  • Checked out the newly arrived and highly regarded Børresen X1 loudspeakers from Audio Group Denmark. Managed to do a side by side comparison with the X2, X3 and X6 as well. They were impressive.

    A superb presentation. Borresen are indeed a premium design, but they justifiably Deliver!
    Thank you so very much for posting.

    There are a lot of "audiophile" voices that go crazy when seeing a phone recording and I can tell you they are 100% wrong and st*pid. I can hear the timbre of a loudspeaker with a phone recording, which is exactly what I listen for in the first 10 seconds of any audition. If the timbre is right, then I can move to the more complicated stuff. There are 100k $ speakers with wrong timbre, men's voices sounding childish or even women-like, with no weight, when the recording should have it, which is wrong. Thank you for the good music and awesome presentation! Keep it up!

    Pound for pound probably the best speaker of the day. All of them sounded as good as it gets. 👍

    Proper music selection too! I am never convinced by those that play the same old same old polite audiophile recordings that do not fully test a speakers ability to be accurate across the frequency spectrum. Electronic music is such a great test as there are so many delicate layers interspersed with deep bass that it takes a great speaker to fully capture this. Probably why many shy away from electronic music because they only get to hear it on speakers incapable of presenting the full sonic soundscape.

      Unfortunately I had to edit off some of the songs as UA-cam blocked them due to copyright, and I’m left with these clips.

    I ordered X1, but hearing this comparison, I would definitely consider X2... as X1 did sound like the harshest and brightest of all. Would You agree? Or is the microphone? Did all have the same run time?

    • @Hifihobby
      @Hifihobby  3 місяці тому +2

      The X1 was indeed harshest of the lot, it might have due to very little run time as it just arrived a few days ago.

    I feel like all 3 are good.. one isn't better than the other. It's all just room size dependant. What is the size of this listening room, and what speaker sounded the best in there?

    • @Hifihobby
      @Hifihobby  3 місяці тому +3

      All three sounded close, the main difference is in the bass extension and volume, and slight variance in size of soundstage. My guesstimate is the showroom is around 5M (16ft) X 10M (32ft). X6 sounded best but costs nearly twice of the X3

      That's what is great about audio there are butts for every seat. I own the X3's but can't see somebody that likes a speaker like "say Harbeth" might not like the Borresens. The Borresens sound way different using the Axcess amps than the AGD audions that I use, It really sounds like a different speaker with AGD it is very emotionally involving. cheers!
