Borresen X3 measurements

I think the Borrensen line of speakers deliver some of the most grating and unpleasant sound I've heard in a very long time. My ears hear these speakers and they are just sound incredibly harsh. I don't really care if they measure well or not, I couldn't listen to those speakers for more than 5 minutes before being tired of them. 

I know they were hyped tremendously in the last year, but I just don't get it.

I agree with Mesonto. All Borresens sound harsh, and unpleasant to my ears. They image very well, but sound is so sterile, so mechanic, I can not stand more than few minutes. First few minutes, that hyper detail and imaging is interesting but after few minutes you do not want to spend to much time with them. 

I thought they sounded better than Erin's measurements would indicate.  They showed off some impressive qualities like speed, open window clarity and bass gut punch.  Imaging to my ears was an issue however.  

I was waiting for measurements to see the bass response F3 and was not happy with the 50 hz value.   That would imply the need for subwoofers and not something I prefer.  Lack of bass dynamic range is another issue.  The Borresens design goals and execution have created a new unique set of tradeoffs.  Every loudspeaker paradigm has its own issues.  We need to hear them to understand if the wows can make you forget about the blemishes.

For those that have had X3s and no longer have them, what did you end up getting which we're much better?  Did you have to spend more or less?
