Copper caps are not unusual in the better magnet systems in high end speakers but using two is unusual, the benefit of higher flux is greater control of the driver, while avoiding high or uneven inductance makes the amplifier’s life easy and generally results in a more even response from the speaker. ![]() The magnet system on the Børresen X3 drivers is a bit different too, these benefit from double copper caps on the pole rings in order to maximise flux whilst keeping inductance down. Børresen is very keen on these drivers and uses them on his biggest and best loudspeaker the M6, they gain a titanium skin and a zirconium basket among other luxuries on that model but the cone is fundamentally the same. This has long been the goal with cone drivers but this type of carbon fibre is called thin ply in some quarters because it is lighter than the regular variety yet maintains the same high stiffness thanks to the weave and the way it’s doped. The midrange and bass drive units have distinctive spread tow woven carbon fibre faced cones, these are actually sandwich constructions with a layer of aramid honeycomb between carbon fibre skins, the idea being to combine maximum stiffness with minimal weight. ![]() I like the use of carbon fibre to reinforce the top and front of the cabinet and the plinth is particularly well executed too, with gun metal grey metalwork and a sandwich construction. The X3 is an elegant loudspeaker because of the way it tapers from front to rear and it doesn’t take up much visual space in the room as high end examples go. Apparently it needs this many because the narrowness of the back panel limits port diameter. It may be slim if you look at the front baffle but the boat tail section cabinet is nearly two feet deep and sports no fewer than six reflex ports that stick out like exhaust pipes from the slim rear panel. That the Børresen X3 is the least expensive floorstanding speaker in the company’s portfolio suggests that this is only the tip of the acoustic iceberg as far as quality is concerned yet it’s a pretty damn impressive loudspeaker. It’s remarkable that the Børresen didn’t prove to be a disappointment, the fact that it held its own in many key areas is a testament to its designer’s skills. The Stratton is a metre wide, has ten and 12 inch drive units and costs over £80,000, the X3 is 34.5cm wide, has drivers that do not exceed 4.5 inches and you could buy eight pairs and still have change for the price of the Stratton. And we can show you how.The Børresen X3 followed the mighty Stratton Acoustics Elypsis 1512s into the listening room, it would be hard to imagine two such different designs. Though it takes a bit of work, you can set up the same processes yourself-for free. But in our experience, the emails kept coming. Some services claim that they block emails from arriving in your inbox entirely by telling senders that your address is undeliverable. The unsubscribe tools we tested create email rules or filters that send unwanted messages to subfolders in your email inbox or simply deposit them in the trash bin, where they take up valuable storage space. In our testing, it took days or even weeks for us to go from activating one of these services to seeing that translate into tangible results-and even then, we simply got fewer unwanted emails, not zero. ![]() They ask for payment or your private data in exchange for what we found to be subpar performance. We don’t recommend email unsubscribe services. ![]() So as annoying as it sounds, you’re probably better off making inbox rules and clicking the Unsubscribe link yourself rather than signing up for a new service. Yet these services promise more than they deliver. It’s too much.Įmail “unsubscription” services offer a tantalizing pledge to eliminate unwanted emails with the press of a button, and they claim to help you avoid the tedious task of deleting individual messages. Once you hand over your email address, companies often use it as an all-access pass to your inbox: Think of shopping websites that send account updates, deals, “we miss you” messages, and holiday promotions throughout the year. Nowadays, you need an email address for everything from opening a bank account to getting your dog’s nails trimmed, and maintaining an empty inbox can feel like a Sisyphean task. Achieving inbox zero may feel unattainable. ![]()
