The Børresen X2 brought back memories of the sound of the very pricey Raidho TD4.2 speakers I reviewed in July 2020, although in miniature. It was in miniature only because the Raidho speakers were seven driver speakers that stood more than five feet tall and were two feet deep. But the X2’s treble response was awe-inspiring, enabling Tony Williams’ snare drum and cymbals on many tracks to float about halfway between both speakers but mainly toward the right speaker.

After listening to many sides of this Miles Davis box set, I could have easily filled Enjoy The Music.com’s server space by describing the many album tracks, alternative takes, and outtakes from the sessions during the four years of this ensemble’s lifespan. But it bears repeating that the midrange of these speakers was extremely lifelike sounding, with a transient response to match. The micro- and macrodynamics of these speakers were one of the primary reasons I think they are worth their asking price. This, along with their very tight mid-bass, made listening to the various sessions recorded throughout the band’s history come to life in my listening room.
