Borresen X1 & X2

I recently had a similar experience on my DIY speakers where at first I thought the imaging was incredible but it didn’t take me long to realize something wasn’t right. the left image was so far beyond the speakers position something was up. Turns out I had wired that speaker out of phase internally. Prior to this, I had switched the phase externally, accidentally on various speakers before and never had encountered this, so it was quite surprising. Just a thought.

I have heard both and didnot experience that ,that being said for the $2k difference

the x2 is the better buy better deeper Bass and a bit more complete.

the x1 most likely was not. Runin good at the time.

I agree, I liked the X2 better, but the X1 is doable, especially because I have a pair of subs. 

Honestly when I listen to c1, and x1  I am just totally immersing myself to music the more I analyze, the more It mess up my listening. Thats what this Borensen speakers does to me. They are just very good.And Borensen staff knows how to set their speakers.

Hi OP:

I’ve had weird surround-sound like effects from speakers, it was related to brand new film capacitors I was trying out. Took a couple of days to break in and then it was done. I’ve never heard anything like it but it was related to Mundorf MKP caps.

Perhaps the speakers you were listening to needed more break-in or perhaps it was a faulty crossover altogether.

Best,

Erik

Erik, 

Maybe. Maybe it was the demo music? Tunes that I picked out had less of that effect. 
In any case I'm probably going with the X2 and Axxess Forté 1 package they offer, if I can get my Magnepan 3.7i sold.
