GoldenEar BRX (Bookshelf Reference X)

Future Audiophile — Eric Forst

"The Reference High-Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeter is stellar, and sounds shockingly good on a speaker at this price point."

Part Time Audiophile — Marc Phillips

"This combo was unexpectedly magical, a tight and focused musical presentation that sounded so immediately right that I shifted my perspective from “good value” to “I could totally be happy with this for a long time.”"

HiFi News — Mark Craven

"The energy and bass weight on offer – for speakers at this price – is simply fantastic, and it's allied to a textured midrange and clean treble."

The Ear — The Ear Editor

"Where these little boxes really scored was in their ability to create driving rhythm with a bass presence far beyond that expected from something of this size and price."

Audiophilepure — Audiophilepure

"Low-end power and poise, courtesy of its ABRs, is a standout trait, and the BRX doesn't overdo it at the expense of instrumental and vocal presence, nor fall short when the volume is set high."

Audiophilepure — Audiophilepure

"With the subwoofers, the BRXs really let go of the music. They sounded big, powerful and decidedly full-range."

Audiophilepure — Audiophilepure

"Such a result boded well for playback of a big blues-band track like Van Morrison’s "I Love the Life I Live" from The Prophet Speaks (24-bit/96kHz FLAC, Qobuz), which was presented with lifelike dynamics and a sense of scale that transported me to a close-up table in an intimate club."

Audiophilepure — Audiophilepure

"It delivers high resolution and levels of transparency that are off the charts."

StereoNET United Kingdom — Eric Teh

"This pocket rocket goes far deeper and louder than expected!"

Audiophilepure — Audiophilepure

"The BRX chose transparency, finesse, and nuance to communicate the experience of real musicians performing in acoustic space."

SoundStage Solo — Diego Estan

"These little workhorses provided precise aural images on large soundstages that belied their modest size."

The Absolute Sound — Tom Martin

"With a wide versatility, great performance, and a competitive price point, the BRX makes a great entry-level speaker for burgeoning audiophiles."

hi-fi+ — Pete Collingwood-Trewin

"GoldenEar BRX bookshelf speakers feature fantastic transparency."

HomeTheaterHifi — Glenn Young

"The BRX speakers image amazingly but require some care in placement to do so."

Alpha Audio — Yung Lie

"The BRX Reference speakers have a compact design: they are small cabinets; 30 cm high and 20.5 cm wide."
