New Review from Tone Magazine on the GoldenEar Bookshelf Reference X (BRX)

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.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I have been purchasing hi-fi equipment from Saturday Audio for over ten years. I was initially drawn to them by their great prices and selection. I soon realized that the folks over at Saturday Audio are terrific to work with and are very passionate about their products. Living out of state, I've had the flawless experience of purchasing equipment from them both online and at the shop. Highly recommended!

Tom S. (MI)

I’ve been shopping at Saturday Audio Exchange for all of my audio visual needs for over 25 years. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, finding the perfect product, from a turntable to TV, always keeping my budget in mind. I would recommend Saturday Audio Exchange to anyone who wants quality merchandise.

Rexx S.

I love the fact these guys are audio geeks, and helpful, and knowledgeable. They did not over-sell us and instead talked about our needs and our options in a practical way.

Deb T.

There's no pressure. Advice is given when asked for but nobody tries to push a particular product or brand on you. These are music lovers who share their enthusiasm and are happy to help you find the right stuff to meet your needs.
