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.

Magnat has introduced a new line of Signature acoustics, the series includes three models: two floorstanding ones – Signature 809 and 607, as well as a bookshelf Signature 603. The manufacturer assures that each model is ideally combined with the Signature Center Pro, Atmos ATM 202 acoustics and the Omega CS12 subwoofer, which allows using the speakers both in stereo mode and in the format of multi-channel installations for home theater.
Serbian company Soulines has unveiled the Soulines tt9 turntable, which borrows its technical solutions from the flagship Soulines tt42 model. Vibration control was a priority during development, and as a result, the design was calculated using the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio. As a result, the company promises minimal resonance and an open, natural sound.
FiiO has introduced a spectacular portable HD music player FiiO SnowSky Echo Mini – the design of which is inspired by the iconic Sony Walkman cassette players. Moreover, even the control logic and control buttons here coincide with the ancestor. And the color 1.99" IPS display and a resolution of 170 x 320 pixels displays the animation of the playing cassette during playback of digital files.
The British company Origin Live has announced the fifth generation of tonearms for vinyl record turntables Origin Live Mk5. The Origin Live Mk5 tonearm series implements technologies borrowed from more expensive lines, such as a multi-layer counterweight.
The wood-veneered cabinets of the new Wharfedale ASTON bookshelf loudspeakers immediately catch the eye – but “on board” such a strict classic solution is a whole bunch of innovations. The model is equipped with a 6" (150 mm) brand-new Mid/Bass driver with a diffuser made of Carbon Fibre. The driver is mounted in a rigid, cast chassis, which eliminates unwanted resonances as much as possible.
