Top Review of the new Borresen A1 in Stereo 2026-11

EN.
General: The Borresen A1 is the newest standmount loudspeaker from Audio Group Denmark, positioned as the model between the Borresen X1 and the Borresen C1. In its price class, the Borresen A1 is an extremely high-quality, musical and well-finished loudspeaker.

Stands: The Borresen A1 is a 2-way standmount loudspeaker. The very solid stands are supplied with it and are therefore included in the price. With these stands you also receive 6 Axxess Noir decouplers worth € 825,-. You place these Axxess Noir decouplers between the top plate of the stand and the bottom of the A1 loudspeaker. This decouples the loudspeaker from the stand, which benefits the sound. The decouplers also ensure that the loudspeaker cannot slide off the stand. It is still recommended to also place Axxess Noir or Ansuz Darkz decouplers under the feet of the stands for the best results, but you are not obliged to do so, because the stands can also simply stand on the floor.

Cabinet: The design of the Borresen A-series is based on the earlier and much more expensive 0-series. This also means that, unlike the other series from Borresen Acoustics, the A-series is finished in wood. You can choose between warm, homely walnut wood veneer, or neutral and elegant Black Ash black wood veneer. The cabinet of the A-series is, however, considerably heavier than the cabinet of the 0-series because the HDF cabinet walls are made much thicker, which provides an even more stable and tighter reproduction. The Borresen A1 has a unique bass reflex system; these are not tuned to a specific frequency and are purely there to control and vent the air pressure inside the cabinet. The ribbon tweeter, which is manufactured in-house, also has its own compartment in the cabinet, which is vented through a port. As a result, the tweeter has free space, which produces a high-frequency reproduction comparable to that of a planar magnetostatic or electrostatic loudspeaker. Some distance from the rear wall is desirable, although the Borresen A1 can be placed much closer to the wall than you would expect.

Drivers : The driver and tweeter are made in-house by Børresen Acoustics. The woofer is called the Borresen DCC5s driver by the manufacturer. The diaphragm of the DCC5s mid/bass woofer consists of 2 layers of spread tow carbon with a layer of aramide in a honeycomb design pressed tightly between them. This diaphragm is reinforced with a small amount of epoxy in the carbon, which also holds the layers together. This diaphragm of the DCC5s driver is extremely light and weighs less than 6 grams, and it is also extremely stiff, which makes it an exceptionally distortion-free driver. As a result, the music signal can be reproduced correctly and coherently without distortion. The voice coil of the DCC5s driver is made of titanium instead of aluminum for less resistance in the magnet system. Copper pole rings are also used in the magnet system for less inductance. As a result, the drivers, which are already extremely light, also move very freely without resistance inside the magnet system. The combination of materials and techniques results in an extremely stable driver that has a great deal of power and control. The tweeter is also made in-house. It is a ribbon tweeter with a moving mass of 0.01(!) gram. This tweeter is extremely stable and linear in its reproduction, and it hardly distorts at all.

Listening : The Borresen A1 sets new standards in its price class. The sound is what we are used to from Borresen: neutral, spacious, clean, detailed and free of listening fatigue. If we compare the A1 with the already outstanding and less expensive X1, you clearly and immediately hear improvement in every respect. The Borresen A1 has a more extensive and musical bass reproduction with more definition. The midrange of the Borresen A1 is powerful yet clean and realistic. Once properly positioned in the room, the speakers can also completely disappear when you close your eyes. The high end, just like all Borresen speakers, is extremely refined and detailed but without harshness or sharpness. The Borresen A1 is a clear step forward from the Borresen X1, and for people who want to go one step further than the A1, the Borresen C1 is within reach. Every step up at Borresen Acoustics retains a character that largely stays the same, but is simply more extensive, more detailed and more defined. The Borresen A1 is a perfect sweet spot between the X1 and the C1, and thanks to its beautiful appearance, wood finishes and outstanding price/quality ratio, we expect the Borresen A1 to be a very interesting loudspeaker for many people and rooms.

The Borresen A1 is available in a walnut veneer or black ash wood veneer. Only available as a set including stands and Axxess Noir decouplers for on the stands. We have the Borresen A1 standard demo in stock, and they can be auditioned by appointment.
