Floorstanding loudspeakers — Børresen Acoustics Børresen 05 Cryo Edition

The Børresen 05 Cryo Edition is the ultimate flagship version of the Børresen 05 floorstanding loudspeaker, combining all the features of Børresen audio technology with the brand's 3-day deep cryogenic treatment at -196°C. The Børresen 05 Cryo Edition brings Børresen's most storied engineering heritage to a substantial floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptional 25Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, matching the standard 05. Sensitivity is notably high at 90dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, with recommended amplifier power above 50W. The 3-day cryogenic treatment increases conductivity by a meaningful 6-8%. At 155.0 x 30.5 x 58.0cm and 75.0kg, the Børresen 05 Cryo Edition shares identical dimensions with the standard model.

Sound and use context

Expect the outstanding musical sophistication of an authentic soundstage Børresen's celebrated 05-series technology is known for, with music unparalleled in its purity and precision, unprecedented in its pristine clarity and laser-sharpness.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance combined with the above-50W recommended power calls for a capable amplifier.

Alternatives

Børresen's own standard 05 offers a more accessible alternative without cryogenic treatment within the same broader 0-series catalogue.
