I had a little scare today.  As you know, I purchased a third X3 for center channel duties.  Today, I was playing a Jazz album (CHRIS BOTTI, NIGHT SESSIONS in 5.1 multichannel, DSD 64).  Lots of bass.  As I was listening, I thought the center channel was not producing enough bass.  I felt the rear of the bass driver on all three speakers.  The left and right speakers were pulsing away.  But, the center channel sub was barely moving.  My heart dropped.  I thought I got a defective speaker.  So, I swapped the left and center channel speaker wires.  Whew!  Center channel sub was rockin' and rollin'.  Left channel sub was quiet.  Must be the way the music was mixed.

Is it hooked to a receiver or an HT pre-pro?  If so, check to make sure the center channel is set to "Full Range".

No pre/pro or receiver.  Music from DAC direct to my amplifier.  It is all good now that I checked and verified sub is working properly.
