Finally, I want to put the X3 through its paces with an unusual track and turn off my correction filter again. I attach importance as well to speakers being able to also process less audiophile songs in a convincing fashion, while having paid less attention to the fine motor skills of the speakers up to now. I recently discovered this song. It's performed by a small Seattle-based band called KGB, about whom little can be found. Their only album called Contra-intelligence originates from 1996 and has the wonderful subtitle "Fiddle tunes infiltrated by foreign agents". The song I listened to is called "Call it A Night”. I really dig the song because the instruments have been captured on the album in their natural form without banging the effects drum. Small imperfections such as the slightly scratchy bow attack are not covered up and the instruments seem intimate and fragile. The X3 prove that they also know how to sensitively reproduce recordings like these. The subtle harmonics of the piano chords are beautifully carved out. They also show that the tonality of the instruments is not entirely natural, but rather that there also happens to be an individual sound of the recording microphones and the room. Nevertheless, this piece of music remains enchantingly beautiful due to its simplicity, while being reproduced accordingly and not declassified by the speakers. On the contrary, the strummed, struck and bowed strings once again live up from the impulsiveness with which the X3 presents them in detail. This impulse response gives the recording a wonderful vivacity and immediacy that remains exciting and stimulating at all times, but always gentle and well-dosed.
