The Borresen A-Series loudspeakers combine advanced driver technology, carefully engineered cabinet construction and a refined Scandinavian design. Positioned between the X-Series and C-Series, the range brings many of Borresen's key acoustic innovations to a selection of floorstanding speakers designed to deliver detailed, dynamic and engaging sound.
At Fanthorpes HiFi in Hull, East Yorkshire, we are pleased to offer the Borresen A-Series, with the Borresen A2 currently available for demonstration in our showroom. Other models in the range are available to demonstrate by request, allowing you to explore the differences and find the right speakers for your listening room and system.
The Borresen A-Series comprises three models: the A1, A2 and A3. Each shares the same design philosophy and core technologies, with differences in cabinet size and speaker configuration to suit different systems, rooms and listening preferences.
The range sits between the more accessible X-Series and the higher-positioned C-Series, offering a compelling option for music lovers looking to invest in high-performance loudspeakers.
Every model is designed and manufactured in Aalborg, Denmark, combining precision engineering with a distinctive Scandinavian aesthetic. The speakers are available in satin walnut and satin black ash veneer finishes, allowing them to complement a variety of home interiors.
A defining feature of the Borresen A-Series is its RP94 ribbon planar tweeter. Designed to reproduce high frequencies with exceptional speed and precision, the tweeter plays an important role in delivering the detail, openness and clarity associated with Borresen loudspeakers.
Operating from 2.5 kHz upwards, the RP94 is designed to reproduce high-frequency information with minimal distortion and excellent transient response.
Its ultra-light membrane weighs just 0.01 grams and is constructed from aluminium-coated nylon and aramid. This lightweight design allows the tweeter to respond rapidly to changes in the musical signal, helping to reproduce delicate details, subtle textures and the natural character of instruments and voices.
With a sensitivity of 94 dB, the RP94 is engineered to deliver high-frequency performance while maintaining the speed and precision required for demanding musical passages.
The Borresen A-Series uses advanced DCC5s Neo drivers, developed to provide a combination of rigidity, low moving mass and controlled movement.
The driver cones feature an aramid honeycomb core combined with carbon fibre skins. This construction is designed to deliver a high level of stiffness while keeping the moving mass low, helping the drivers respond quickly and accurately to the musical signal.
The motor system incorporates a ferrite magnet, dual copper caps and a titanium voice-coil former. These components work together to help manage unwanted distortion and improve control across the driver's operating range.
The result is a driver design intended to deliver accurate midrange reproduction, articulate bass and convincing dynamic performance. From subtle instrumental details to complex musical passages, the DCC5s Neo drivers are designed to preserve clarity and composure.
Cabinet construction is an important part of the Borresen A-Series design. Unwanted cabinet resonance can affect the sound produced by a loudspeaker, so the A-Series incorporates engineering intended to control vibration and reduce unwanted colouration.
The cabinet structure, internal layout and resonance-management measures work together to provide a stable platform for the drivers. This helps the loudspeakers reproduce music with greater clarity and precision, without allowing unwanted cabinet effects to dominate the presentation.
The A-Series also uses a carefully controlled rear venting arrangement, helping to manage airflow and support the speakers' low-frequency performance.
These design considerations are intended to provide a balanced presentation, combining bass weight and definition with an open midrange and detailed high frequencies.
The Borresen A-Series can also be used with optional Ansuz Darkz resonance-control devices.
Designed to address mechanical vibration and resonance, Darkz devices provide an additional way to refine the mechanical interface between the loudspeaker and its supporting surface.
For enthusiasts looking to optimise their system, resonance-control accessories can be worth exploring as part of a wider approach to system setup. Our team can discuss the available options and help you determine whether they are appropriate for your equipment and listening environment.
The A1, A2 and A3 share the same core design principles, but each model offers a different approach to room size, placement and system matching.
The A1 is the most compact model in the range, making it an option for listeners who want to experience Borresen's driver technology and design approach without moving to a larger floorstanding speaker.
Its size may make it suitable for a range of listening environments, although room acoustics, placement and system matching should always be considered.
The A2 sits in the middle of the range, offering a balance of scale, performance and flexibility. It is particularly worth considering if you want a substantial floorstanding loudspeaker without moving to the largest model.
We currently have the Borresen A2 on demonstration at Fanthorpes HiFi in Hull, giving you the opportunity to hear the speaker for yourself and discuss how it might work with your existing system.
The A3 is the larger model in the range, designed for listeners seeking a greater sense of scale and authority from their loudspeakers.
As with any high-performance speaker, the best choice will depend on your room, listening distance, amplifier and musical preferences. We can help you compare the models and identify the most suitable option for your setup.
At Fanthorpes HiFi, we believe that listening to equipment for yourself is one of the best ways to decide whether it is right for your system.
We currently have the Borresen A2 available for demonstration in our Hull showroom, with other models in the A-Series available to demonstrate by request.
If you are interested in hearing the A1 or A3, we recommend contacting us in advance so we can discuss availability and arrange a suitable demonstration.
