Borresen X3 measurements

I've heard the X3 finally and my initial thought was dam nice but the more I listened the less I liked it..There is an obvious issue with midrange.I think the review hits the nail squarely.This all maybe for nothing as its been replaced or soon will be as we are aware how things at Borresen change rather quickly.For me id wait for the better /upgraded/replaced version or buy the X at firesale prices which I'm sure won't be long.

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.

I guess Perlisten is looking a bit better now. :)

Im sure the Borresens are fine speakers too. It’s too subjective to take anyone’s word for it. It’s different from other audio equipment. I think measuring things is important, but speakers are so personal I think it’s less indicative of how a person will feel about the sound. People aren’t necessarily wanting perfect accuracy/neutrality from a speaker. 

I am in as soon as they plug that hole in the midrange.

Erin's results on the X3 is odd or at least unusual. Not flat responses are not that unusual by designers' choice, budget and performance/cost tradeoffs, or QC fails to name a few possible causes. What I am puzzled about is the ~12 dB suck out then peak between 200-350 Hz. Something (perhaps woofers' mechanics or enclosure?) is in a sharp undamped resonance condition.

This also shows up in the Cumulative Spectral Decay plot.

Just nerding out on what is the source of that resonance still ringing along 20 mS after test impulse is done.
