General: The Borresen C1 is the latest standmount speaker from Audio Group Denmark, it is the successor to the Z1 (Cryo). The Borresen C1 is improved in many ways compared to its predecessor and features the most modern technology available today.

Stands: The Borresen C1 is a 2-way standmount speaker. The solid stands are included and are therefore included in the price. With these stands you also receive 6 pieces of Ansuz Darkz S2T decouplers worth € 2.560,-. These Ansuz Darkz S2T decouplers are placed between the top plate of the stand and the bottom of the C1 speaker. This decouples the speaker from the stand, which improves the sound. It is still recommended to also place Ansuz Darkz decouplers under the bottom plate of the stands for the best results, but you are not obligated to do so as the stands can simply stand on the floor.

Cabinet: The cabinet of the Borresen C1 is larger than the cabinet of the Z1 (Cryo), combined with the new Borresen DCC5 Neo drivers, this ensures a fuller and rounder bass response. The cabinet is made from an internally reinforced wood composite material, which has been 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 looks, it also contributes to the overall rigidity of the cabinet and better resonance response. There are bass reflex ports on the rear as well as a port for venting the ribbon tweeter. Some distance from the rear wall is therefore desirable, although the Borresen C1 can stand considerably closer to the wall than you would expect. In our view, a minimum distance of 50cm from the rear wall is desirable for optimal sound quality.

Drivers: The diaphragm of the midrange/woofer has also been improved. It now consists of 2 layers of spread tow carbon with a layer of aramid 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 less inductance. The combination of materials and techniques results in an extremely stable driver with enormous power and control, the diaphragm is extremely light and rigid which ensures fast acceleration and low distortion. And it is driven by a powerful neodymium magnet system. These drivers are manufactured in-house by Audio Group Denmark and are calculated for virtually everything. 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 distorts virtually not at all. The filter in the Borresen C1 has also been improved compared to the filter in the Z1 (Cryo).

Listening: The Borresen C1 delivers excellent performance in its price range. The sound is what we are used to from Borresen: neutral, spatial, clean, detailed and free from listening fatigue. When we compare the C1 to the Z1 (Cryo) you clearly and immediately hear improvement in every aspect. The Borresen C1 has a more pleasant, more musical and rounder bass response. This bass is friendlier without losing precision. The bass of the Borresen C1 also resonates significantly less than the smaller Z1 (Cryo). In the midrange and treble range there is clearly more life and more distinction between background and foreground. You hear more detail 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 C1 a worthy successor to the Z1 (Cryo). With the stands and Ansuz Darkz S2T decouplers for on top of the stands included in the price, this is simply one of the best standmount speakers in this price range that we know.

The Borresen C1 is available in a high-gloss black or high-gloss white finish. Only available as a set including stands and Ansuz Darkz S2T for on top of the stands. We have the Borresen C1 standard demo ready in stock, they can be auditioned by appointment.
