Floorstanding loudspeakers — Børresen Acoustics Børresen M2

The Børresen M2 is an accomplished floorstanding loudspeaker from Børresen Acoustics, built with one ribbon tweeter and three 5-inch low-frequency/midrange M-series drivers without conventional hardware. The Børresen M2 brings Børresen's considered engineering to a substantial M-series floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptional 30Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is a comparatively modest 86dB into a comparatively benign 6 ohm load, with recommended amplifier power above 50W. At 129.2 x 36.2 x 52.5cm and 64.3kg, the Børresen M2's considerable mass reflects serious internal driver and cabinet engineering, with the three M-series drivers capable of voicing the frequency range from 30Hz to 50,000Hz.

Sound and use context

Expect the exceptionally fast, detailed character Børresen's celebrated ribbon-tweeter and iron-free M-series driver technology is broadly known for, delivering a grown-up sound from a comparatively compact floorstanding chassis.

Pairing

The comparatively benign 6 ohm impedance combined with the above-50W recommended power calls for a reasonably capable amplifier.

Alternatives

Børresen's own M3 offers a considerably more elaborate alternative within the same broader M-series catalogue.
