Børresen X2 (sale)

Børresen X2 - Revolutionary floorstanding speaker with sublime sound quality

The Børresen X2 speaker series is a groundbreaking floorstanding speaker that uniquely combines quality, performance, and affordability. With these speakers, Børresen has developed an entry-level model that allows even more people to experience the extraordinary world of Børresen sound. The Børresen X2 speaker is built on the foundation of Børresen Acoustics' long development traditions, unique design philosophy, and in-depth technological expertise.

Technologies and Components

Børresen X2 speakers are not merely an entry-level model in the Børresen family, but also represent a remarkable step forward in quality and performance in their price class. These speakers benefit from all the knowledge gained through the development of the M, 0, and Z series. Components from these exclusive series have been incorporated into the Børresen X2 speakers, including the innovative spread-tow carbon diaphragm, the highly acclaimed Børresen ribbon tweeter, and the use of copper caps in the magnetic motor system.

X2 Series Diaphragm – Bass/Midrange

The groundbreaking diaphragm in the X2 series is designed with the goal of achieving maximum stiffness and minimal noise. To achieve this unmatched performance, all components were designed, developed, and assembled in-house. The X2 diaphragm consists of three layers, laminated into a single unit: two layers of spread carbon fiber, with a layer of aramid honeycomb spacers in between. This unique composition of materials gives the diaphragm its exceptional properties. Spread carbon fiber is shaped to provide optimal stiffness, reducing disruptive sound vibrations and resonances to previously unseen levels. Aramid honeycomb has the best stiffness-to-weight ratio in the vertical direction. The flat response of the diaphragm, in terms of resonances, makes it possible to create an extremely transparent speaker with a smaller magnetic motor system to optimize costs.

Unique magnetic motor system

In the X2 series magnetic motor system, double copper caps are used on pole rings to achieve high flux and low inductance. This technology has been borrowed from the Børresen Z series. Copper helps reduce electromagnetic resonance by counteracting changes in flux, resulting in a flatter inductance curve and fewer peaks in the impedance curve. This reduced inductance puts less strain on the amplifier. To ensure high efficiency, the X2 series is equipped with two pole rings, and any loss of flux is compensated for by a larger magnet.

Ultra-light tweeter without distortion

The tweeter selected for the Børresen X2 series uses the same basic design as in all other Børresen speaker series. However, a reduction in magnet and iron mass has been achieved thanks to the extremely efficient design. This results in only a slight reduction in efficiency from the remarkable 94 dB to 90 dB, which is still a remarkable efficiency for a tweeter. The tweeter operates from approximately 2.5 kHz and up. With an extremely low moving mass of just 0.01 grams, the tweeter can respond incredibly quickly. The high robustness makes it possible to handle very sharp transients without causing muted tones.

Premium crossover components from the Z series

The Børresen X2 series is equipped with a parallel crossover that uses the same premium components as the Z series. This results in a very mechanically stable crossover that minimizes self-resonance.

X2 Series Cabinet

The cabinet surface is elegantly finished in black piano lacquer and reinforced with carbon fiber inserts. The cabinet is made from a heavily reinforced wood composite that eliminates sound distortion and reduces mechanical effects, including hysteresis. This construction provides superior sound reproduction. The X2 series is equipped with bass reflex ports, and the tweeter is vented to compensate for building air pressure. The bass section contains tuned ports calibrated to musically relevant frequencies.

The Børresen X2 speakers combine these technological innovations and components to deliver a remarkable sound experience. The exceptional diaphragm, advanced magnetic motor, and high-performance tweeter ensure that the music is reproduced with incredible clarity and precision. This series of speakers offers exceptional quality and performance in its price class and is the ideal choice for audio enthusiasts seeking an affordable path into the Børresen universe. Børresen X2 speakers are not merely speakers; they are the gateway to an exceptional musical experience.
