Thanks for the comparison. Sounds like my decision to go for the X3 at least wasn't the wrong one.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the X3's build quality. Maybe its just a case of reduced expectations after some negative reviews, but it feels really solid in my hand with no flex anywhere I can tell.
I agree on the bloated base and consequentially muddied sound out of the box. I keep my bass at -2 and treble at +2 and it opens up the sound and makes it a lot more neutral for me. It still retains that great tonality though which to me is the best feature of the X3. Guitars, pianos and bass especially all sound so real and vivid.
