Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think?


Borresen Acoustics have recently launched three models of loudspeaker.   The chief designer is ex-Raidho Acoustics.  Just wondering whether anyone heard or auditioned them and if so what were your impressions?  When commenting please let us know what loudspeakers you have today as this provides a useful point of reference.

If you really want to know how Borresens can really sing you need a no compromise high current and very musical amp, something like Dagostino Momentum S250 is a good example.
What do you guys think if i purchase a Gryphon Mephisto stereo instead of CH M1.1stereo to drive Borresen 03s ?
Hi guys i'm also a new Borresen fan and was blown away by what i've heard at the Munich show this year.I own Thiel CS 3.7s and would like to upgrade towards Borresen 02 or 03 depending on budget.Do you guys think it's really worth purchasing the 03 right away and not have to upgrade anymore or should the 02 be ok for the long run ?I don't want to spend more than 100k for the whole rig : speakers, integrated amp, DAC and cables.Thinking of CH Precision I1 integrated, Vitus SIA-030, Dartzeel CTH-8550 mkll, T+A PA3100HV or even Absolare integrated to drive 02s or 03s.I will not be able to audition all of them at home but the CH and Dart for sure i can borrow from dealer.
Let me know what you guys think.
@cdc2 Borresen is going to come up with much more affordable speakers pretty soon.
@xti16 thanks for your feedback, yes i will make the effort to purchase the 03s and be done with speakers for a very long time.Here in Europe the price is €56k still very expensive, to this you have to add and integrated amp that will be up to the task.Peter Breuninger confirmed me the Vitus SIA-030 would be a great match for the 03s.I would also like to learn more about the Audionet Humboldt which is €42K.Aavik will not be in my shortlist.Here are the ones i'm seriouly considering : Vitus SIA-030, d'Agostino Momentum int, CH Precision I1 and Audionet Humboldt.The Vitus seems to have the best performance to price ratio and perhaps the best synergy with Borresen.

What minimum amp power would you recommed to drive them perfectly ?Is 175w into 4 ohms enough ?
Ok therefore i can keep the CH Precision I1 integrated in the battle.It's the less powerful of the bunch but it's got quality watts.
Before criticising a brand you better go listen for yourself.Tidal is very good but my pesonnal taste is Borresen.
Hi guys i'll be getting either new 03s or if possible to find a good deal on a demo pair of 05s.Will drive them with Gryphon Mephisto stereo.I think this pairing hasn't been done yet.Anyone own 05s on Audiogon ?Cheers.
Hi guys, i've decided not to go the integrated route to drive Borresen 03s therefore my favorite choice is CH Precision L1+X1+M1.1stereo paired with Totaldac D1-Twelve mkll as a source.A no compromise rig.
Listened to the Vimberg Tonda at the Paris Hifi show early december, didn't like them at all, stayed no more than 5 min in the room.
