The BRX Lives Up To Its Name

The BRX de nes state-of-the-art performance for a bookshelf design, e ortlessly producing lifelike imaging, superb transparency, natural detail, and room- lling bass.

In his in-depth review of the Goldenear BRX, Stereophile’s John Atkinson was perhaps most impressed by the BRX’S ability to produce naturally detailed, lifelike, and immersive sound that belies the speakers’ room-friendly proportions. “Even placed farther out in the room than I suspect is optimal, the Goldenear BRXES sounded surprisingly full-bodied for a relatively small loudspeaker.” He then recounted a particularly telling conversation with acclaimed musician and engineer, David Chesky: “Chesky told me that Periphery was recorded with a ribbon microphone and a pair of omnis in a giant church. ‘Your room should open up to in nity when you play this back,’ he promised. With the Goldenear BRXES driven by the Parasound ampli ers, it did!” BRX $1,598/pair
