Modifying Crossovers


I just read a post about changing resistors and caps in the new Borresen X3 speakers. I am curious why there is interest in changing the components in a brand new speaker. I also am curious if it would make them better than why didn’t the designers put a better component in the first place. Just a thought and scratching my head. Have a great day.

"I would be highly suspect of anyone who thinks they know more than the speaker designer. If they know so much, why haven't they designed their own speaker."

The original designed may have wanted to save money on cheaper parts, and as you've seen above, some have designed their own speakers.

My 2 cents...

And that's about what it's worth...

Modifying crossovers.... What is your purpose of modding and upgrading audio gears? Trying to make the audio sound better? What is the best sound then? What is the final destination? Is it the original Music/Sound?

Watch below video. Is it your final destination? Or do you have more upgrade to do? "BORRESEN X3 with AAVIK + ANSUZ " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnJQMjQLZ54

My final destination audio is same or better than this. https://youtu.be/XaBy9CcGoTE?t=86

Many people devoted their life times to get the original Music/Sound in last 150 years and gone without seeing it. No one was close. Will your mod get you the better than above videos’ sounds? I think not.

After Xover mod, I bet the speaker will sound worse. Speaker company has the experience with their speakers. OP doesn’t. Replacing better parts is not the promise of improvement. I know I make the best sounding speakers.

People say the speaker makes the biggest difference. If those speakers work with bad broken signals, your hard speaker work is wasting. For the best sound in the future, make sure the source has the best signal.

The original music can happen only with best power cords and cables. I think power cord upgrade is more sound improvement and much easier than modding xover without the risk. PC upgrade guarantees the sound improvement. Or return it. Alex/Wavetouch

What a ridiculous collection of statements. I wouldn't buy your speakers even if they weren't overpriced.

The item (drivers, cabinets, materials, crossover) look well built. I am curious "a new entry-level speaker at an affordable price" if I should fetch a handfull of 100 dollar bills and go get myself a pair? What IS the 'entry level' price for the X3?
