With only 4 1/2" woofer it can't make much bass.

Borresen X3 at Axpona
I listened to these speakers at Axpona and thought they were amazing for the price..Very open,forward midrange. Any opinions out there on these? We listened to Jonny Cash and his voice was incredible.l would highly consider buying a pair of these for 11K

@ozzy You’ll be surprised given both Borresen’s and Scansonic’s cabinet innovations. The smaller Scansonic MB-2.5B can fill a medium to large room with no sub, and it only has two 4.5” woofers. My Borresen 02, with similar drivers, do the same but of course with much improved speed, control and definition. Of course room placement is key to getting the most out of them. |
One of the things that is common in speaker design, or so it would appear, is that designers seem to like adding a few small diameter woofers, versus a few larger diameter drivers. Yet, it is a pretty well known fact that the ability to push air has a major factor on low end slam. Is it solely the cost of the larger diameter driver that makes the design decision here, because in the Borresen's this would seem to be not a factor. The argument that a small driver is quicker acting than a large driver is apropos, BUT all else being equal, the large woofer driver will always push more air. |

We are a borrenson dealer the quality of the x series cabinets is first rate, the x3 offers remarkable performance for the money so if the only compromise was making the cabinets in china so be it the same remarkable borrenson tweeters that are in their 100k loudspeakers are in this 11k pair of loudspeakers. remember micheal borrenson is a genius in creating advanced drivers and scansonic/rehido represents the past, borrensons newest designs are the future Dave and Troy Audio Intellect NJ borrenson dealers |
