Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmm"

@singular: There are enough measurement of Börreson speakers to see that they are bad speakers, by intention. Their frequency response is horrible, there's no way to deny it.

There is also no reason to do this by intention. Everywhere in the reproduction chain (sources, amplifiers) a flat frequency response is desired and (almost ever) achieved. Why should one deviate from this path just for speakers? Problems in the final frequency response due to the room problems can be fixed by positioning, room treatment and room EQ, not by buying a "matching" bad speaker.

I am not talking about sampling nor analog system.
I am talking about time and level sensitivity of human hearing.
Try to measure it and put the graphs here.
Let us have some fun

44,1kHz is fine enough.
I use oversampling and superslow filter.
OT still.

But those seven ports are strange. Is it supposed to be like Dragon Ball or something?

 

[Flaesh]

Seven is a sacred number, because the human head has seven holes.
I don’t remember the source of this, I read it somewhere a long time ago. Cardboard and plastic tubes are cheap; it would be nice to see speakers with seven holes more often.

Ports will sum.
Strange is the concept of expensive speakers that are based on one diameter.
It is like array, but it is not.
There is more cons than pros except for 2ways.

But maybe tall and slim is good match for clients.

9 years ago I tried to persuade my boss to print Titanium baskets on his machine.
It was meant to be for fun and to get new clients from audioindustry.
No way.
Haha now it is going on in quantity.
I think they do audio just for fun trying the best possible in technology.

I like to ask my medical friends, "how many holes does a human body have?". They start counting. Then I remind them that a topological "hole" has to be continuous. As humans are coelomates, we only have one hole (mouth to ****). Everything else is an invagination.

Well nose and ears follow the same path in that case, that's 4 more, no?

 

[Flaesh]

I don't remember the source, but I'm sure that text was written before the advent of topology as we understand it.
More to the topic: we need Børresen's drawing, then we can count both holes (in all senses) and invaginations.

Loaded tweeter?

I've watched a few episodes of the Next Leve Hifi youtube channel (Börreson dealer), where they have clients spending $500k plus on peripherals and a titanium rack, and make a weekend out of installing and tuning it by ear. The madness doesn't stop at just the speakers.

It would seem that it is not an extremely profitable business to be in.

Audio Group Denmark ApS had equity of $2.8 million and a net profit of $400,000 in 2024, with 47 employees.

There is also a holding company with the same name, which has approximately the same figures.

Part of X3 crossover - photo from review.
Nothing fancy or woodoo.
There is only Litzwire coil as expensive part, which clearly is not a wax type but baked one.

A new interview of Michael Børresen appears to explain a lot.

Loser

 

[Oddball]

These are terrible speakers, people should stay away from them. Not sure if there is much more to say.

I found a photo that clearly shows all the ports on the Børresen.
With this many openings, I feel like even if a golf ball accidentally made a “hole-in-one” into one of them, nothing would change — and no one would ever notice.

These multi ports are nothing special, just classic laminar if the best.
Obviously they can be tuned by prolonging or dampening.
There is a lot of ways how to tune ports, these speakers are not special in it.

The only special is 7th port to load tweeter, if I get it right - probably phase control - which would be minus several tens of dB for tweeter.
If I am right...then this is pretty rare solution.
