The products from Audio Group Denmark (AGD) have been making waves in this part of the world in the past couple of years. Borresen, Aavik and Ansuz are the 3 main brands under AGD that local audiophiles have been entertained by in the past few hifi events. Now, the 4th brand have been introduced under the AGD, named AXXESS. This new brand was introduced to further expand the AGD fans demograhics through a entry level concept to the AGD sound.
On Saturday 8th July, Audio Perfectionist held a launch event, not only for AXXESS but also the Borresen X3 speakers. AXXESS first model is the FORTE all in one streamer and integrated amplifier. There were 2 sessions held , one at 2 to 4 pm and the other is at 4 to 6 pm.
According to Kenny, the FORTE amplifier which has 3 models (1, 2 and 3) is targeted for those who aims for simplicity and an avid streaming fan. The FORTE is equipped with UMAC (TM) technology to ensure stability, reliability and precision. The streamer section is derived from Aavik streamer module and contains high quality capacitors and does not use any microcomputers to reduce unwanted noise. The FORTE is also equipped with a class A headphone amplification. The FORTE offers 3 digital inputs (1 toslink, 1 BNC SPDIF, 1 USB), 1 RC pre out, 1 headphone jack 1/4" and 2 USB A inputs. It does not have a wireless module though so you will need an ethernet cable plugged into it to make the streamer work.
The X3 speakers is the entry level of the newly launched Borresen X Series speakers. The speaker design includes 1 x Borresen planar ribbon tweeter, 1 bass/mid 4.5" driver and 2 x 4.5" bass drivers. Eventhough the X series is set to be the entry level for Borresen speakers, it does not in any way given less attention in its design to deliver the unique Borresen sound to it.
