Børresen, a brand of Audio Group Denmark, has announced the expansion of its floor-standing loudspeaker line – the Børresen C2 and Børresen C3. The new acoustics are equipped with redesigned drivers, improved crossovers and an anti-resonance cabinet design.
Børresen C2 and C3 are equipped with a Børresen DCC5 Neo bass and midrange driver. This driver uses a neodymium magnet system with double copper caps to minimize electromagnetic resonance and induction. The DCC5 Neo is equipped with a three-layer diffuser made of aramid honeycomb core and a carbon fiber shell. The drivers are characterized by negligible resonance levels, which significantly increases the level of details.
The Børresen RP94 ribbon planar tweeter handles the high frequencies in the loudspeaker. With a sensitivity of 94 dB, minimal (0.01 grams) moving mass and cryogenic treatment (reducing inductance), the emitter provides an open and clear sound.
The Børresen C2 and Børresen C3 feature an advanced crossover that supports bi-wiring and bi-amping. In addition, the new products are compatible with Aavik active crossovers - and can be reconfigured to a fully active scheme. The Børresen C2 and Børresen C3 speaker cabinets are made from a combination of reinforced wood composite and carbon fiber panels and are reinforced with 5 mm wooden braces, which optimizes structural integrity. The system operates in a semi-open mode at midrange frequencies.
Børresen has integrated technologies from its sister brand Ansuz into the C series speaker systems, including Tesla coil technology for noise reduction and third-generation Ansuz Dither technology for noise reduction. All internal wiring is also made with Ansuz cable.
Both speakers have a sensitivity of 88 dB and an impedance of 6 ohms. The manufacturer recommends using the new acoustics with an amplifier with a power of 50 watts. The C2 model operates in the frequency range of 35 - 50,000 Hz, and the C3 - of 25 Hz - 50,000 Hz. The recommended retail price of the Børresen C2 model is 25,000 euros, and the Børresen C3 will cost 35,000 euros.

The new Nagaoka MP-700 cartridge tops the Moving Permalloy (MP) series and will be available in the standard MP-700 and premium MP-700H versions. Compared to conventional moving magnet (MM) cartridges, the Moving Permalloy (MP) variant features a lighter permalloy magnet attached to the cantilever.
Sennheiser has introduced the Sennheiser ACCENTUM Open TWS headphones – the model, designed in a stylish compact design, promises, according to the manufacturer, exceptional comfort during use and a secure fit.
The Ranieri Audio Labs Varieta preamplifier has been released – the model uses directly heated triodes and allows for a wide range of tubes (300B, 2A3/6A3, 12A/201A, 26, 30, 31, 45, 50, 71A, 801A/10Y, 275A/252A, 245 and 842/VT52 will do). Simply ideal for those wishing to experiment with tube rolling.
Accuphase has introduced the Accuphase C-57 phono preamplifier, based on a fully balanced circuit design from output to input with dual mono topology. The Accuphase C-57 also uses a two-stage solution: the first stage is the output stage to ensure matching with MM and MC cartridges, the second stage is the correction amplifier itself.
Last year, Goldmund launched the impressive Goldmund Rhea and Theia acoustics in active versions with a wireless streamer. The all-in-one solution certainly looked brilliant, but High-End fans often prefer component systems. So now the company has introduced the Goldmund Rhea and Theia loudspeakers in a Passive version.
