Borresen X3 measurements


Borresen’s X3 measures pretty badly which contradicts a lot of the praise…
 

Detailed measurements in the video below.

Did AGD/Borresen address these findings?  Curious to see what they have to say and even better if they can produce their own related measurements.

in response to dayglow...

 

As I stated above indeed the cabinets are made in China but all drivers and assembly of such are done in Denmark

Measurements, smeasurements........The speakers haven’t receive almost universal praise by accident!!!

Actually, they don’t seem to have received universal praise.

Erins review is hardly high praise, and some comments in this thread

From people who have heard the speakers, Are critical as well.

The measurements, especially in this case are quite

useful and predicting some elements of the sound, Especially that

Scoop in the mid range. Erin Immediately heard it.
A friend of mine Who has spent time with the X6

Was immediately bothered by it too. The Fact One would be be able to hear a

In the mid range would’ve been predicted from the measurements.

So measurements can matter.

@mbmi 

This statement is just NOT true...Michael Borresen is one of the most talented speaker designers in the world.
 

The design problems with that speaker Uncovered by the measurements

Are certainly true.

 

And if Michael Borresen Designed those speakers

It is strong evidence against your claim that he is one of the most talented speaker

in the world!

I never stated that measurements don’t matter, because they most certainly do, to some audiophiles. However, I say again, I doubt if the average audiophile pays much attention to measurements when it comes down to choosing a particular pair of speakers who’s sound qualities have captured their emotion as well as their imagination. I believe that most people ultimately follow their ears and their hearts over how strictly a pair of speakers measure. Personally, I’ve listened extensively to both the Borresen X3 and X6 (and other borresen speakers as well) on a couple occasions, and despite their shortcomings, I thought they both sounded incredible. Could I live with the X3 or X6 long tern? Absolutely!!! As they say, there’s no perfect speaker. Happy listening.
