    Flemming Rasmussen Joins R&D team

    Audio Group Denmark, the parent company for Ansuz, Aavik and Børresen-Acoustics recently announced that one of greatest talents in history of the Hi-Fi industry; Flemming Rasmussen, has joined as a full time member of the design and development team.

    Flemming is best known as the charismatic founder of Gryphon Audio Design, one of the most influential high-end brands in Scandinavia – and the world.

    Over his 35 year tenure at Gryphon Flemming and team created a number of landmark products, most notably large power amplifiers such as The Antileon, Antileon Signature & later EVO which enjoyed a strong following in the global audiophile community.

    Flemming joins Audio Group Denmark at a time of extraordinary high growth for the company. I will be personally interested to see how Flemming’s creativity is unleashed.

    Re: Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers



    AV Showrooms presents an interesting pairing of Thrax Audio Reference Components with the Borresen 05 speakers. I loved the music of the 3rd test track in this video, Ain't No Sunshine (Bill Withers) performed by Buddy Guy and featuring Tracy Chapman.

    I believe this system but with the Silver Supreme Edition of the Borresen 05 speakers, will be shown at the following upcoming shows:

    1) The Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (RMAF 2021), Oct 8-10, Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Aurora, Denver, CO. And

    2) The Capital Audiofest (CAF 2021), Washington DC's Premier High-End Audio Festival, Nov 5-7, Twinbrook Hilton, Rockville Maryland.

    Fingers crossed that the audio shows can proceed.

    Re: Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers

    Hi guys, after having listened to most of the Borresen line at Munich i will soon go to my Gryphon dealer to listen to a pair of Borresen 03s driven by a Gryphon Mephisto stereo, Thrax Dionysos linestage and EmmLabs DV2 DAC.
    Should be pretty spectacular.

    Ditto. They are the only speakers I'd consider trading in current pair for. Would love to hear more about peoples experiences with the line in general.

    Well unfortunately i was pretty disappointed about this demo, it sounded pretty bad.
    I think there was something wrong about the dealer's room acoustics and i told him.
    Far from what i have listened in the Borresen room at Munich 2019.
    I'm probably going to stay with my present speakers as i like them sooo much.

    It's not the dealer, he is actually a very nice guy and i purchase all my gear from him.
    His room might not sound right, i'll go back for a listen at some point.

    Re: Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers

    I am speculating here, but Mike could be implying that the Børresen speakers are not that great.

    Interesingly, the TAS review of the 05 mentioned a minor raise in midbass, in the 2022 Buyers Guide this has increased to an "irritating dollop of excess midbass". I am not knocking speakers I havent heard myself, it only goes to prove that you need to read between the lines in these reviews.

    Re: Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers

    Speaking of reading between the lines, the one tidbit I've gleaned from multiple sources is that, while excellent, this first round of Borresen's are very room particular. I've taken this to mean that with the appropriate gear in a properly treated room, they are simply ambrosia (nectar of the Gods, not the fruit salad). I believe this stands to reason as the 01-05's are highly anticipated flagship pieces (various cryo treatments not withstanding) which serve to set the performance bar for Borresen speakers in general. Then they introduce a more accessible line where the consumer expects to get 80% of the performance at 1/2 the price. To this end, more Z reviews are required as I suspect they may be more forgiving.

    However, this is a very slippery slope in that, if the Z series (their true bread and butter) do not live up to expectations, long term success may be limited.

    Thanks. Was the bass the issue? The Mephisto might have been the wrong match. Was it bright? What was the issue?

    Yes i think the Mephisto was way too much power for the Borresen, very in your face, bass was insanely powerful, just too much pressure for the room and his room is not small.
    Very fatiguing in the long run.

    That’s exactly what I would have said. He needs much more linear amp. Dart, Goldmund or Sim if he’s on a budget. Perhaps CH, but reports on their bass are mixed.

    I have a HUNCH that BAT would be very good.

    IMO Audionet Humboldt would be the best match for Borresen 03s.
    Gryphon works best with difficult speakers like mine.

    Hi Mike,

    Could you please expand on your point of how specifically the Mephistos are not as linear as the Dart, Goldmund and CH amps?

    In particular, how the less linear characteristics of the Mephistos relative to the other amps are reflected (affect their performance) in specific frequency ranges?

    Thanks

    The Gryphon Mephisto’s are a bottom up amp. The bass is powerful and emphasized compared to the rest of the frequencies. They are a bass first amp. Every review speaks of the prodigious bass of this amp. I lived with the stereo version for almost 2 years. It was the same. It was a great pairing with some speakers, not great with others. Like pretty much every amp. A Dart/Goldmund/CH are more midrange out type of amps. Some owners have reported the CH can be quite lean on bass, but I’m sure that has to do more with the users selected adjusted feedback level or tolerance of such.

    Re: Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers

    My Gryphon dealer is a new Borresen dealer, this might explain the bad amp match with the speakers.

    thx for the report. i used to be interested in the borresen 03. eventually demoed the 05 with theyr avaik electronic. sounded pure, very clean and resolving. imaging and precision was outstanding.
    however, overall not my cup of tea. not easy for the brain, similar to headphones.
    might be the characteristics of ribbon drivers. didnt really get warm with the göbel speakers either.
    next to the borresen system was the tidal akira with tidal amplification. the akira has both the tweeter and midrange made out of diomond....so it was very resolving too, however it sounded pleasant and rich. much prefered it over the borresen.
    my take is the 05 is a racehorse with very high potential. one probably needs time and knowledge to tune it to his preferences. left side of magico. good luck whoever

    Would be worth demoing Borresens with a good tube rig like VAC or Aries Cerat, would probably be more engaging.

    Re: Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers

    as per my dealer, the 05 silver supreme needs stable and powerful amps, otherwise the bass is collapsing.
    dont know if it is the same for the 03.

    I’ve often wondered what Borresen speakers would sound like driven by higher power VAC amps. I imagine it would be fabulous.

    My experience with the O-series Borresen speakers is that while powerful amplifiers can be a positive contribution [I note the in-house Aavik brand is 300Wpc!], its quality that’s really important because the speakers are very revealing.

    Audio Group Denmark @ Munich 2022

    Audio Group Denmark together with its brands; Ansuz, Aavik and Børresen will be exhibiting at the forthcoming High End Munich 2022 Tradeshow (Munich, May 19-22, 2022).

    They can be found in Hall 4, room T04 and U03, located near the main entrance.

    Their entire sales team, including Lars Kristensen, and representatives from the design and development team, including Michael Børresen and Flemming Erik Rasmussen, will be present.

    According to Emil Kristensen, Audio Group Denmark will be displaying a new line up of products; The Aavik I-880 & C+P 880 amplifiers, Ansuz D-TC Gold Signature cables and Børresen X-3 and M1 loudspeakers.


    New Product Releases


    Aavik 880 Series Amplification The much awaited collaboration between Flemming Erik Rasmussen, formerly of Gryphon Audio and Michael Børresen.

    Available as a super integrated (I-880) and the pre-power combination (C + P 880) the Aavik 880 series is high powered class A amplifier. What else would you expect from Flemming?









    M1 Loudspeaker – Borresen’s latest all-out assault in loudspeaker design, featuring new driver materials and further refinements to Borresen’s magnet motor system and speaker basket. The M-Series will be Borresen's new top of range loudspeaker design, with the M1 being the smallest, a standmount, similar in scale to the successful B-01.


    PHOTO: The new Borresen M-1 loudspeaker. The new M1 also features all the benefits of the Børresen 0 Series. These include the patented iron-free Børresen magnet motor system, which has now been further refined.


    X Loudspeaker Series – a new more affordable series, the X speakers will feature carbon fiber reinforced cabinets, state-of-the-art drivers, Spread Tow Carbon and honeycomb cones. The X-Series will be Borresen's new entry level loudspeaker range.

    Kiwi, any idea on the price for the new M1 Loudspeakers?

    Re: Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers

    Where are they getting the funding to keep pumping models out? Im sure the sales figures do not support this kind of continued investment.

    Hello Ken,

    The Børresen Acoustics brand is significantly increasing its loudspeaker product range.

    The new hierarchy is:

    X-Series [New entry level range, most affordable]

    Z-Series

    O-Series

    M-Series [New top of range]


    The M-1 pictured below beside the Borreson 01 [O-Series] is being launched at High End Munich 22 today, 19th May. Pricing will be released at the show but you can always hit Tyler up for US market pricing.

    Audio Group Denmark @ Munich 2022

    Apologies for the low quality photos, they come of a video feed. Audio Group Denmark has two rooms at the show.

    One room is showing a prototype of the new Borresen M1 stand mount loudspeaker. Music is being streamed via an Aavik S-580 streamer and D-580 DAC and feed to the new Aavik-880 200W Class A amplifier. Brand new cabling from Ansuz is also used – D TC Gold Signature cables.

    The second room is showing a pair of new Borresen X-3 floor standing loudspeakers.

    I'm listening the loudspeakers with my Audionet Humboldt, to begin. The sound seems really great!

    the cash from the shares will go to lars and michaels pockes, not to audio group denmark, and it is a strong sign the company is not doing well profit wise.

    the investors

    they seem to be attracted to engineers, hoping for the breakthrough. not sure what they could help down the road, apart from putting a few questions at theyr meetings.

    however, i do wish all the best for everyone. i do like the design of the m1 and the x3 is priced very comfortable at 10k a pair.

    The investment from Vækst-Invest, an investment bank and private capital fund, is largely about scaling the Audio Group Denmark business by funding on-going product developments.

    I don’t know all the details but among the advantages of private equity is access to alternate forms of capital for entrepreneurs and the freeing the company founders (Lar’s and Michael) to focus on sales and design.

    What I do know is that the impact of the investment can be seen in the avalanche of new products. Two new loudspeaker series (an entry level X-series and new top of the range M-series), a new top of range series of Aavik Amplifiers (880 series, Class A, co-designed with Flemming Rasmussen formerly of Gryphon Audio); a new top of range cable series (Ansuz D TC Gold Signature cables), a new top of the range Ansuz Mainz8 DTC-3 distributor and soon to be launched another new brand to complement the existing Audio Group Denmark brands Børresen, Aavik and Ansuz. The new brand is called Axxess.

    It does appear that investment by Vækst-Invest is about scaling the group business by dramatically increasing the product range breadth and depth and thus increase the addressable market and by extension the potential reseller and customer base. The value of the investment banks shares will rise with the increase in group revenue and profitability. Make no mistake, investment banks are in the business of investing in entities they are confident they can get a return on – so the investment is a vote of confidence in Lars Kristensen, Michael Børresen and the Audio Group Denmark teams execution on marketing, manufacturing and product development.

    Re: Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers

    I like watching the fun theyre having, but thankfully its not being done with my money. I have seen the pricesheets for them and their pricing is insane, the build and finish quality is also nowhere near where it should be… how do they sound? Costing and looking the way they do? who cares.

    Borresen M3 speakers debut at Axpona 2023




    Who got to hear the new Borresen M3 speakers at Axpona? What were your thoughts?

    Audio Group Denmark invited the press for a special unveiling of their latest product, pre-show opening on the Thursday. Some thoughts on the product can be found here:

    Borresen M3 | AXPONA 2023 - Part-Time Audiophile
    AXPONA 2023 - Positive Feedback
    Borresen, Aavik, Ansuz, Axxess, Next Level Hi-Fi | AXPONA '23 | INDULGR


    Jonathan Valin from the Absolute Sound considered the Borresen M3's to be contenders for best loudspeaker at the show. Specifically he said:

    "Borresen Acoustics also showed its five-driver, two-and-a-halfway, ribbon/cone, $94k 03 floorstander, driven by Aavik's new 880 Class A pre and power amp. I didnt know the Scandinavian music that was being played, but the timbre was dark and beautiful with breathy texture, solid imaging, and delicate decay. Bass went very deep with superb attack and sustain showing much better linearity and control than past Raidhos and Borresens. Indeed, this was the best bass I've heard from one of Michael's large speakers. That and the gorgeous naturalness of the mids and treble made the 03 a Best of Show contender."

    Jonathan managed to get both the model number and price wrong but hey, it was a big show!


    Borresen is currently working on the M6, the next loudspeaker in the M-series range.

    The M3s are the best loudspeaker I have ever heard. Heard them fresh off the boat at Axpona then again at Next Level Hi Fi about a week after the show. Tyler bought the M3s along with the C-800 and P-880.

    Unbelievable detail, dynamics, transparency and depth. Looking forward to the Pacific show next month. Huge surprise for those who stop by.

    Re: Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers

    Audio Group Denmark @ High End Munich 2023

    Location: Halle 4, T03/04 at the Main Entrance

    Strategically located at the main entrance, Audio Group Denmark has gone all out this year with three purpose built rooms (they think the acoustics in some of the large pre-built rooms at the venue are terrible) and a team of 12 staff.


    Being launched at the show is:

    1. The new brand AXXESS. Axxess consists of innovative, high-quality audio equipment that will be available at a more modest price than Aavik components. Audio Group Denmark is introducing the first Axxess product series, Axxess Forté, which will also be on display in Munich. Axxess Forté is a streaming amplifier series that comes in three versions, Axxess Forté 1, 2 and 3. Axxess Forté stands out for its versatility in terms of its multifunctional features. It has a streamer and a DAC section, as well as an integrated amplifier and a headphone amplifier.

    2. Three new Borresen loudspeakers, most notably the M6, Borresen’s first true full range loudspeaker (20Hz – 50 KHz) with a $500k EURO price tag. This is on static display because the loudspeaker is too large for the room. The M3 ($250K EURO) is on active play. Also new to the Borresen is the X6 loudspeaker. Larger than the X3 which was launched in Munich last year, the new X6 speaker ($ 22K USD) features the Børresen ribbon tweeter and is equipped with 6 of the 4.5 inch X-series drivers with a 30 Hz to 50 KHz frequency response.

    3. Third generation Ansuz products including their new Mainz8 distributor and new third generation of the Ansuz PowerSwitch will be seen in Munich.

    4. The new Aavik SD-880 streamer/DAC to complement the rest the new S-800 range which purposefully excludes digital circuitry in order to optimise audio amplification performance. DAC sampling of the new streamer / DAC is at 22 MHz to minimize the influence of noise on the music signal.

    According to Borresen, the M3 and M6 are both offering the option of bi-wiring, allowing you to feed the bass and midrange/treble sections individually. This not only provides sufficient power to each section, but also results in a cleaner, more precise sound. These loudspeakers have been designed with two types of bi-wiring in mind. The first is speaker crossover bi-wiring. The frequency between the bass section and the midrange/treble section is optimized, in accordance with the M3 and M6 design, so that it provides best performance.

    The second option is active crossover bi-wiring, where you can adjust the crossover frequency yourself. This type of crossover is the optimal solution for fine-tuning your speakers according to your listening room acoustical properties, allowing you to control the amount of bass and the balance between the bass and midrange/treble.

    To further enhance your listening experience, Børresen’s sister company, Aavik Acoustics, has developed a high-end Analog Active filter that works seamlessly with these new speaker models, providing the ultimate in precision and clarity.

    Unlike most other loudspeaker manufacturers Borresen develop and assemble all the components in-house, including their loudspeaker drivers. Borresen has been awarded patents affirming ownership of on unique aspects of loudspeaker including an iron free magnet system.

    Audio Group Denmarks High End 2023 München Lineup


    Source: YouTube, May 2023, Morten Thyrrestrup from Audio Group Denmark and Jan Reutelsterz from Phono.logic present the trade fair lineup at High End Munich shortly before the gates open.


    Thanks to Phono.logic HiFi Studio Phono.logic - HiFi und Pro Audio Studio mit Online Shop - Westerwald of Heiligenroth who is one of nine (9) German Audio Group Denmark (AGD) dealers we have this lovely presentation of what was in each of Audio Group Denmarks three (3) rooms at the recent High End 2023 Munich show.

    The Group now has four ranges of loudspeakers, the X-series, Z-series, O-series and new top of range M-series. This means their breadth of loudspeaker range now rivals industry giants.

    External investment from investor group, Vækst Invest, has also underpinned an expansion in the group’s range of electronics offerings with the notable launch the new AXXESS brand. The AXXESS brand offers accessible and affordable audio solutions and being a broader brand it will eventually offer cables, mains distribution and speakers in addition to the Forte integrated electronics (combines amplification, DAC and streamer into a single box) seen in Munich.

    The grand idea for AXXESS is to offer a full home audio system but do so with fewer boxes with reduced weight and physical footprint. 100 Kg speakers, 50 Kg amplifiers, multiple equipment racks and a proverbial rat’s nest of wires may be a palatable idea for the middle aged but when you are starting out you don’t have the budget and when you are retiring you often don’t have the space and can’t safely move such large heavy objects. So in sum the AXXESS brand will have a larger addressable market which benefits channel partners and ultimately company revenues.

    Upgraded pair of Borresen O3 Silver Supreme Edition. Wow. Not just the one off of a custome handmade pair from Denmark (including paint) but the sound is fabulous. So natural. So detailed on both ends. Incredible job boys. Got a mint barely used pair of walnut O3s available for a steal.
