Today I talk about the Borresen X2 Speakers! I have had these here for the last two months and have been enjoying my time with them. In this video I compare the X2's to other price comparable speakers from Borresen (X1), Closer Acoustics (OGY and BOB), Pearl Acoustics (Sibelius), Triangle (40th Duetto) and more.
What these speakers can do is bring the full force of all music with an effortless ease, some warmth and a huge aural soundstage. Low volume listening is amazing as well due to the fullness these speakers have in the sound.
If you have been missing bass from your speakers, the X2's can cure this.
Enjoy the review of the Borresen X2 speakers!

Please try to review the Borresen C3 when it becomes available in the next month or so. Part Time Audiophile said they come close to the sound of Borresen's $100,000 bookshelf (the M1)!! Btw, those Pearl speakers are named after the famous composer Sibelius, which is pronounced suh-BAIL-ee-us 😊
Thanks so much for this review. Very intrigued by these but enjoying a single driver similar to the Sibelius speaker right now. Really looking forward to the Qualio review. My speakers are made by the same company and while they have a unique look I’ve heard heard rave reviews about their sound.
Thank you. Nice review. Very curious about the C2.
I have not heard if those are released yet, but I am very curious about the Borresen C2’s also. I’ve heard that they’re coming. C3’s are kind of spendy.
@@peterw2714 The price for the C3's are 38,500 usd and the price for the C2's will be 27,500 usd and the C1's are 16,500 usd. I have the X3's but am still curious about the C2's :O)
Thanks for your excellent videos. The bigger brother, the x3’s are phenomenal. Driven by the new Naim 200 series trio. The best so far in my room. The price difference compared to the X2’s it’s not to much and worth it if you have the proper room size. Consider it in the 10-20k price range.
Sibelius (pretty sure they are named after the Finnish composer) is pronounced like see-bailey-us
Thank you. Steve's pronunciation was brutal, but we all do it from time to time.
Actually its pronounced si-be-li-you’s (Italian si)
Watching this, I keep looking at the Triangle Duettos, so gorgeous.
Great review! Thanks for sharing.
Listening to the attempted pronunciation of Sibelius was hilarious.
Lone Crow Audio has Borresen, get a screamin deal when bundled with gear. 🎉
I'm surprised the Pearl Sibelius got a mention here. They are hard to find but I had the pleasure of demoing in a listening studio and they looked kind of 'simple' but were incredibly articulate and powerful. It changed my perspective on speaker designs. I would love more AB comparisons with the Pearls and other speakers.
The Sibelius would be very articulate for the HT vocals, and great at lower listening levels, but not really for high SPL or bass slam imo.
Michael Borresen makes the best entry-level audiophile speakers. I have the Scansonic MB 2.5 which were designed by him and they sound phenomenal for $3,300. Both of these speakers are probably more high-end A/V speakers rather than true high-end 2-channel speakers, but a great starting point for anyone serious about audio. Nice job discussing room size vs. speaker size. Many audiophiles get speakers that are too large for their rooms. If your speakers are the right size and powered correctly, then you shouldn't need subwoofers for 2-channel unless your room is very large or small.
Would you know how the MB 2.5 compare against the Dynaudio special 40?
@@ricoreyes1818 no, haven't heard much Dynaudio yet
I am sorry-$3500 is not “entry level”. Entry level is $900.
@@kineahora8736 I clarified "audiophile". $900 for a 2.5 way floor-stander isn't entry level audiophile, it's budget/home theatre pricing.
How does this compare to the Buchardt A700LE?
Honestly, cannot understand how the bass in these 4.5 inch cones can be sufficient. Would love to listen to them
Probably massive excursion permitted by the stiff driver.
I have had the same thoughts. Every seems to rave about the X1 which has a single 4.5" woofer for close to 6k price tag. I would like to hear them for sure and use subs with any stand mount anyway.
@@willbrinkI have a pair of x1 they no bass at all
How can someone play Heavy Metal on speakers that are somewhat warm and have silky highs.
So after this strong review, what are your reference speakers?
Fluid! too much temptation.

Great review! But I gotta say, I find it weird that these reviewers, and I've noticed it with others as well, don't take a sec to contact the manufacturer to check how to properly pronounce the name of the product they're reviewing. Or the price, or the story behind the name. Is that odd to anyone else?
This is not a review of the Sibelius, this is a review for the Borresen. The sibleus just arrived a few days ago. I knew nothing about them and before they are reviewed, I will know the name and everything else as reviews take me weeks. Easy. Not sure why this bothers anyone as this isn’t even a review for those speakers. So what if I mis pronounce a name of a speaker I knew very little about? So what.
Great review, do you have a link for the diffuser on you front wall?
Pearl Acoustic's speaker is pronounced "Sih-bay-lee-us"
After the composer.
Nice speakers! What happen to you REL S510?
Skip to 2:45 for the review
did you see his ceiling is bowed down ?
I'm curious, based on your same room size and If you have the budget for the Focal Diablo Utopia Colour EVO Bookshelf Loudspeakers.. which speakers would you recommend, the Borresen X1 or the Borresen X2 ?
Hello, X2 vs Qualio IQ?
Great review, do you have a link for the diffuser on you front wall?
Nice Spaekers But.... unrealistic price tag
As someone who has spent several hours listening to these...I agree with you, but I would pay it anyway. These really sound exciting, at any volume. Their ability to produce clear, deep (but not even slightly boomy) bass is also very surprising.
In the price bracket
$8,800 Per Speaker Wow
Per pair
WTF is with the pricing on this stuff? You could get great loudspeakers 20 years ago for $2000.😡
Everything is $9000 and everyone is saying how “budget” they are?? WTF!
@@kineahora8736 you can still buy speakers for a few hundred dollars today. They just will not sound like speakers that cost $8k. These are cheap compared to some in the $50k and up territory.
Sir-Bay-Lee-Us
Si-BEL-ius.
It’s Sibelius like the composer
Bello/Magnifico.😱✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️
1st comment:)
They are pronounced sa bal yus just like the composer
Si be li us.
@@MasterofPlay7 Its the name of a music composer. See beel e us
Si bel I us.
"More affordable" - 9000 dollars ..
🤨
Everything is relative. For many in the world, 9K is nothing.
