Borresen X3 measurements


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

Detailed measurements in the video below.

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. 

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.

Ouch, the forum's auto image reformat of frequency response plots from landscape to square really exarated dB scale. See originale here:

Did AGD/Borresen address these findings?  Curious to see what they have to say and even better if they can produce their own related measurements.
