Borresen X3 measurements

Does every great measuring speaker sound good? No. Do the majority of great measuring speakers sound good? YES! Do the majority of crappy measuring speakers sound crappy? That would also be a YES!

I agree 100% with bojack!

Some things in sound quality are not measured or hard to quantify. But that does not negate the value of things we can measure that affect the sound. I have not heard the X3 so the measurments are interesting to me since there has been more or less universal praise for them. 
 

I am a bit taken back by 3 things about the measurements.

#1 the poor estimated in room frequency response (directivity issues coincide).

#2 the bass tuning…

#3 the lack of dynamic range. I have read people state they can play very loud but the data strongly suggests otherwise. This would explain why the X6 is made. I thought there might be something special with the tweeter but it shows heavy compression too. 
 

Anyway that is my keyboard warrior take.

Measurements, smeasurements........The speakers haven't receive almost universal praise by accident!!!  Believe it or not, most audiophiles really don't give a hoot about measurement, as they're drawn primarily towards what sounds most pleasing to their ears, regardless of measurements.  That's the reality of high end audio.  Some audiophile are very technical and measurement are of particular interest to them.  It's all good in the neighborhood.          

Kennymacc,

Your revels are some of the best measuring speakers ever… I bet you think they are some of the best speakers made too… measurements and sound quality can not be separated.

I find a lot of times people just don’t measure their systems response or their rooms decay time. Lack of experience is the issue. The X3 is not a tuning issue (rolled off or bright), the drivers simply don’t integrate and there is a lot of box noise.
