#125 GoldenEar BRX: $1,499.98 per pair Crutchfield eBay
Pros: A compact premium standmount using GoldenEar’s folded-ribbon tweeter, 6-inch cast-basket woofer and two side-mounted passive radiators. Its measured tonal slope is nearly neutral (-0.10dB/octave), bass alignment is well damped at Q 0.69, and estimated in-room extension reaches 51Hz. Measured bass extension of 85.0Hz (-3dB).
Cons: On-axis smoothness of 0.249, sound-power smoothness of 0.216 and predicted in-room smoothness of 0.29 are all mediocre for $750/pair. The 4-ohm load benefits from a capable amplifier.
