Borresen X3 at Axpona

Myself being a modded I looked at the Xover it is average at best 

judt by changing the 2 - $1 resistors with Path audio resistors 

and the 2 capacitors with  possibly VH Audio Odam 

you are speaking at bare minimum 10%+ increase in fidelity across the board.

I may do this , I just wish the Zbass would have gone down to 30 hz  35 hz is ok 

but considering their depth a bit bigger bass driver would have checked all the boxes. 

I’m surprised a company with the reputation Borresen has would have any cabinets made in China. What a shame. 

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

@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.
