A few years ago, there were only a few serious contenders for compact, high-performance speakers. Today, that list has broadened, and the GoldenEar BRX Bookshelf Reference is at the top of our list - sonically and aesthetically!... Jeff Dorgay - Tone Magazine

The (BRX) incorporates a 6” cast-basket bass/midrange driver, basically the same driver used in the Triton Reference. The tweeter is the Reference High-Gauss High-Velocity Folded Ribbon. The two drivers are perfectly blended with a unique “balanced crossover”. A pair of inertially balanced 6.5” planar infrasonic radiators are located on either side of the cabinet for tight, quick, powerful bass response. The beautifully styled cabinet is luxuriously finished in hand-rubbed piano black lacquer. The BRX delivers superior reference level performance for both two channel as well as home theater systems of the highest quality, with extraordinary three-dimensional imaging and high-resolution clarity.
