Borresen X3 measurements

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:

Erin's Audio Corner Børresen X3 Floorstanding Speaker Review

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.

in response to dayglow...

As I stated above indeed the cabinets are made in China but all drivers and assembly of such are done in Denmark

Measurements, smeasurements........The speakers haven’t receive almost universal praise by accident!!!

Actually, they don’t seem to have received universal praise.

Erins review is hardly high praise, and some comments in this thread

From people who have heard the speakers, Are critical as well.

The measurements, especially in this case are quite

useful and predicting some elements of the sound, Especially that

Scoop in the mid range. Erin Immediately heard it.
A friend of mine Who has spent time with the X6

Was immediately bothered by it too. The Fact One would be be able to hear a

In the mid range would’ve been predicted from the measurements.

So measurements can matter.
