General: The Borresen C2 is the latest floor-standing speaker from Audio Group Denmark, succeeding the Z2 and Z3 (Cryo). The Borresen C2 is improved in many ways compared to its predecessor and features the most modern technology of today. The Borresen C2 is a 2.5-way floor-standing speaker. When you purchase a set of Borresen C2, you receive 8 pieces of Ansuz Darkz S2T decouplers worth €5,120. What's new about the Borresen C2 is the Bi-Wire connection. Now you can use Bi-Amping for even better amplifier control and more sound control. For those who want to use just a single amplifier, don't worry, as an excellent set of Bi-Wire jumpers from sister brand Ansuz Acoustics is included, namely the Ansuz Jumperz X3 worth €500.

Cabinet: The Borresen C2 cabinet is larger than the Z2 and Z3 (Cryo) cabinet, which combined with the new Borresen DCC5 Neo drivers results in tighter and less resonant bass reproduction. The cabinet is made from internally reinforced wood composite, a composite material developed to minimize distortion, standing waves, and external resonances. This cabinet is further reinforced with a 1mm thick carbon panel on both sides. This carbon is not only for its beautiful looks, it also contributes to the overall rigidity of the cabinet and better resonance response. Bass reflex ports are located at the rear as well as a port for venting the ribbon tweeter. Some distance from the rear wall is therefore desirable, though the Borresen C2 can be placed much closer to the wall than you might expect. For optimal sound quality, we recommend a minimum distance of 50cm from the rear wall. The magnificent large base with the cabinet's frame was designed by Flemming Rasmussen (ex Gryphon) and gives the Borresen C2 an authentic look, while also ensuring that the C2 cabinet is not directly attached to the base plate. Rather, it rests on the sloped piece of natural wood composite which is attached to the base plate. This results in more controlled reproduction.

Drivers: The diaphragm of the midrange and bass woofers has also been improved. It now consists of 2 layers of spread tow carbon with a layer of aramide (better known as kevlar) in honeycomb design in between. This diaphragm is reinforced with a small amount of epoxy in the carbon. The voice coil of this 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 reduced inductance. The combination of materials and techniques results in an extremely stable driver with enormous power and control. The diaphragm is extremely light and stiff, ensuring fast acceleration and minimal distortion. It is driven by a powerful neodymium magnet system. These drivers are manufactured in-house by Audio Group Denmark and are engineered for virtually everything. The tweeter is also made in-house; it is a ribbon tweeter with a moving mass of just 0.01 grams. This tweeter is extremely stable and linear in its response and barely distorts. The crossover in the Borresen C2 has also been improved compared to the crossover in the Z2 and Z3 (Cryo).

Listening: The Borresen C2 delivers excellent performance in its price range. The sound is what we've come to expect from Borresen: neutral, spacious, clean, detailed, and free from listening fatigue. Comparing the C2 to the Z2 and Z3 (Cryo), you immediately hear clear improvements across the board. The Borresen C2 offers more precision, better intelligibility, and more liveliness. The music dances around the room with much more ease and finesse. The bass reproduction is noticeably tighter and more rhythmic than the Z2 and Z3. Additionally, the bass is less bombastic, making the Borresen C2 easier to place than even the smaller Z2 (Cryo). In the midrange and treble, there is clearly more life and better distinction between background and foreground. You hear more detail and more layers in the recording, and the music is looser, more playful, and simply more interesting to listen to. Borresen Acoustics has clearly taken steps in the right direction to make the Borresen C2 a worthy successor to the Z2 and Z3 (Cryo). Furthermore, these Borresen C2 speakers simply look fantastic.

The Borresen C2 are available in a high-gloss black or high-gloss white finish. We have the Borresen C2 demo unit in stock as standard and available for listening by appointment.
