Borresen X6 Loudspeaker U.S. Debut - Live Commentary!

[@miked91101]

An old co-worker and friend who i knew from doing consumer electronic repairs along with in the A/V industry from way back in 1989 has been dealing with Next Level HiFi... he went from all Mcintosh gear to Aavik equipment (that is digital amplification) to drive his Blade One Meta's, last i heard from him he was very impressed with how the Aavik handled those speakers... myself like many are hesitant on upgrading from class A or A/B to digital, but Aavik must be doing it pretty good... love the videos Jay, keep it up 👍👍

[@jaysaudiolab]

Thanks

[@ivanhardy2288]

This was my favorite system of the show this year at CAF. I was shocked also when I was told the price of the speakers. If I was starting over this would be it and I would be out a lot less money than I am now.

[@AudiolandCH]

I heard all borresen rooms at munich... Definately my favorite sound from source streaming. The Ms are incredible.

[@stohl82]

Awesome video jay. Im always impressed with the sound they put out at Axpona. It would be an end game system if i had the $$. Lars does a great job running the room. Always enjoy the music they play. The music is a nice change from traditional high-fi rooms.

[@edgarmisplaced7924]

Now "That" was impressive as hell!! 50K......all day long. Love the X3 but the X6 is killer, hard to fault. Looks like they need space to shine. 🙃🙃🙃

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

This guy cracks me up.

[@jeffkalina7727]

I see my friend Lars in the room with you. You should ask him what makes Borresen speakers different than others. Great company.

[@dan70cutlasssx]

I heard them too! Best price to value at the show. Punch way above their price class!

[@marksironi3324]

This system was amazing for the price.

[@Acura1NSX]

How many people on planet Earth can spread their loudspeakers 17 feet apart... that's an impossible feat for most people's listening rooms... That's unless you live in a large hotel room 😮😅!

[@jaysullivan9545]

Great value.

[@StanThePigeon]

Audio group denmark is resetting the bar! Especially for diminished returns. I hope they create some competition in that price range

[@brianesbaugh6897]

Kind of hard to tell while listening on KZbin through a $40 set of headphones, but it did sound amazing impressive from what I could hear

[@aphexrhubarb]

The guy leaning in his seat wearing glasses at 0.01 is one of the finest audio electronic designers in the world who also makes some of the finest cables out there too.

Not knowing how familiar you are with this music, I wonder if you were able to get a good evaluation. I’m sure the large room size helped also. I’m also wondering about the dealer network, where can someone go demo these?

[@audiofun999]

In order to get same results you’ll need to set them up exactly like in the video (far into the room, close to side walls, significant toe-in).

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

Lol, you need the same room. It won’t sound like that in your living room.

[@cesargutierrez4999]

They sound like that in my much smaller room Slightly toed in and 8 feet in between the speakers

[@lukerestlessstudios]

They make the more expensive ones irrelevant.

[@wa2368]

Time to sell some Wilson Chronosonics and get some Borressens...

[@Coneman3]

Speakers too skinny for me.

[@va2054]

Jay, what did you think of the big system on the opposite side of the room ?

[@stevenfuller185]

WOW

[@snomofilms]

Jay, what was that last song?

What was the size of the room and how far from the front and side walls? speakers placed?

[@notmanatee2445]

Do you like the Beatles? Do they touch you when you hear them?

Does it have Bluetooth for my Airpods

[@timschutte3961]

Over KZbin i don't like the sound at all.

[@trajan350]

😂😂😂

[@timschutte3961]

@@trajan350 Haha yeah sounds weird but i also really love Magico and Dali over headphones and are blown away sometimes how good they sound. And don't have that with Borreson so far and seen many video's with them. And in real time it is different sure but you can hear how they sound in real life a little with most speakers

[@Smood47]

This is really weird.. why not do a sound demo and then talk about the demo? Trying to mash it together is just odd. Especially with the weird music where the singer is almost yelling.

[@fendergibs]

they play god-awful music during these shows

[@rangerscoach]

They play technical demonstrations. Because of this I have found tracks that test the upper limits of my system so they do have utility. I think to get an objective opinion of something it helps to not play something that your subjectively so passionate about. Im pretty anti nils lofgren but if the stereo can knock his music out of the park, my cd collection is going to be in pretty good shape 😂

[@fendergibs]

@@rangerscoach better to judge a system with music u know than random dreck

[@stephanlazarz1921]

Same old boring track.

[@reestyfarts]

Jay you missed the Tokyo show.

[@faysalriaz1312]

I agree this seemed the best Borresen demo. I guess it's balanced properly. These X6 (22k) seem far better than the Estelon (20k) speakers. Great video commentary 👍

[@jaysaudiolab]

100% agree

[@BobFrostV]

Isn't it 22k each?

[@christianmueller9950]

@@BobFrostV22k for each PAIR 🫶

[@kennylim8511]

22k per pair

[@tima.478]

Being in the audiophile game is a matter of how easily or difficult your money comes to you. I said that to say, I have been to many listening parties and have heard some great systems, but I have never heard anything that would make me part with 50k for a system. My system is put together for my exacting personal taste and I probably spent about 10k, all in. I guess my money doesn't come to me so easily...lol.

[@rangerscoach]

would love to know if you have a fixed budget like 50k are we better off looking for an integrated solution like this or playing the system matching game by ourselves (to our own individual preferences) or with a very good hifi shop that still runs demos the old skool way. (the new breed of online hifi shop seem to just sell like the algorithm on netflix)

[@shaygannon5759]

J , have the aavik steamer and dac mid level .. seriously good stuff for the money

[@hifisymphony]

Aavik is good stuff

[@stevenburdick424]

Seems like an incredible value.

[@francisraimundo]

Borrensen is not for me. I don't like the way their speakers present music

[@phetmoz]

That's fair enough. It's not exactly realistic in the traditional sense, it has a larger-than-life realism that's in the opposite direction of how horn speakers have larger than life realism. That's how I would put it at least.

[@francisraimundo]

@@phetmoz As everything, it's just a matter of taste, right. Let's wait and see what happens

[@phetmoz]

@@francisraimundo For sure, but this isn't like comparing soft domes and hard domes, rather it's an entirely different presentation. These Borresen tweeters are so incredibly fast they seem faster than life should permit. It's an unnaturally fast replay that is thoroughly impressive and enjoyable for, I would say most people.

[@jiyadas]

The front of the room is a semi-circle, kind of weird way of setting up a system and that's why you are hearing such a wide sound stage, like a surround sound.

[@davidcross890]

Exactly spot on. Will not and could not perform the same in a conventional room the same as shown.

[@abdulmokta6081]

Rubbsi6songs, play hard complex tracks like over 12 instrument being played like orchestra or dance pop music.
