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

Some of the finest Hi Fi products of all time don't measure well.....If your ears were a computer....you know what I mean.

@James633....... The X3 is not a tuning issue (rolled off or bright), the drivers simply don’t integrate and there is a lot of box noise.                                                                                                                                                                                       This statement is just NOT true...Michael Borresen is one of the most talented speaker designers in the world. If you can design and sell a speaker that retails for over 100K and people buy it....and I own them, you don't and probably have never heard them....There is no box noise. Borresen Basher...over and out.

@kennymac..............I totally agree with your posts...You Make Sense.  The X-3 have to get off the ground. Iso Acoustics or The new Axxses  Isolation pads w/ titanium rollers change the sound noticeably for the better......Some tweaks work really good....others are snake oil. These x-3's are a tremendous Value for 11K.

I just wish the Harbeth at 2X the price , didn't look like somebody's DIY speaker project from the 70's..The X-3's are science fiction worthy baby!

Haha...speak the truth and you get pi$$ed on around here....no I haven't...I don't like 10K bookshelfs......You're a smart guy. haha.

Bottom Line : The people on this forum that own the X-3’s love them....The people that don’t own them are the ones that are trashing them. Buy a pair you cheapskates...listen to them....put 500 hrs. on them...Then if you bash them , you Might Have some Credibility! Until that happens, YOU DON’T. Roger, Over and Out .

People that judge equipment ...never having that equipment in their Rig....sometimes only hearing it in a show set up or Never hearing it At All...and bashing it for unknown reasons ( maybe because that equipment gets EXCELLENT REVIEWS from people that are a lot smarter than YOU (MC)......Those feeble minded , non informed product bashers that spend all day on AGON forums and have nothing better to do with their time.than make un- informed comments on equipment they no nothing about, just to upset people, should just shutup and talk about something that they actually know something about and are Qualified to give an opinion  ( good or bad) about such product.
