Borresen X3 measurements


Borresen’s X3 measures pretty badly which contradicts a lot of the praise…

I heard the X3 3 different times at the 2023 Axpona and knew this would not be a speaker I would ever purchase. I previously posted that the X3 was hi/fi ish and not coherent. Yes, they were attention grabbers that is why I stopped by the room 3 times and still the same impression. No speaker is perfect but the false hype they received is finally justified by measurement. 

IMO the important issue here is NOT that the X3 measured poorly but the sound I heard at Axpona 2023 was a speaker that was not musically coherent. 

Borrensen’s marketing(trickle-down theory) has convinced(brainwashed) many that the X3 shares many sonic virtues and quality of the upper level Borrensen loudspeakers which is not true. It’s unclear where the X3 is assembled, where the cabinets and even the drivers are manufactured. This type of ambiguity should not exist at this price point if a company desires transparency and respect.
