That just means able to state their opinion, with these subjective reviews. Even with some objective reviews, what is "better" ?

@@RennieAshit’s not really subjective when the gulf is quite big. Also you can get an element of objective views by consensus. Also what of the people on here and others who have said they think the GoldenEars the better speaker? I’ve counted 6 so far who agree with me. Particularly those who have no ego and have tried both against each other and are not just KEF owners. Opposingly that’s motivating lots of these comments, no doubt and anyone who doesn’t recognise this ego can come in is misguided. I’ve got none at all as I own the KEFs and I’d much prefer for my own ego that the brx speakers were not better. Also would you just prefer a review that makes everything the same? A Robin Reliant the same as a bmw 3 series…..then watch me try and keep a straight face like some hifi reviews. Clearly that’s ridiculous.

Thank you very much!

Thanks very much for your comments 😀🎼

Hopefully they checked out with your view.

mmmm, my humble advice is: give both a try before you buy if possible. If you like Mahler the dynamics of the BRXs will make you happier... LS50s are pretty dull speakers, they excel with Jazz, small ensembles and vocal centered music but they fall short for the "big sound" of classical, they lack dynamics.

Great to hear!

Maybe regarding larger rooms but I don’t think the KEFs are better suited to classical, jazz and soft rock. Maybe our egos in buying the KEF’s. The resolution and transients of the GoldenEars makes them appealing to this type of music still. I’d personally agree the soundstaging might be a reason to buy the KEF’s for home cinema. Obviously the kefs are gonna be cheaper for home cinema. I don’t tend to comment really as I’m mainly 2ch although I have asked to try a projector so that might change 😀

@@13thnotehifireviews7 I'm only running the KEFs in a two-channel system. As far better suited for the type of music, you have the benefit of having both to do a direct comparison. I would classify myself as a casual listener at lower volume, so the traits you bring up might not have the same impact for me. Having seen a few teardown videos of the KEF, it appears that the money was spent on the engineering, not necessarily on the components, so at $1,600 they're making a small fortune and could easily leave the price at $999. The bottom line is if I were more focused on listening intently, the points you bring up would likely have me upgrading. Cheers.

Yes they are!

Thanks very much Stu. Hope you are doing ok.

Glad you liked it!

What’s so messed up in this industry is that the reason why I do these creative flourishes is because I’m associating creativity, which is music with hifi, with my videos. For people to say don’t fart around a) diminishes an understanding of the effort that goes in and b) more importantly, that somehow my audience don’t associate creative video with this creative element of music and hifi. Sometimes I just wonder who the hell are the people who are into hifi.

@@13thnotehifireviews7 I hear what you're saying, but I can't agree. People want to hear your honest, and excellent, reviews. The farting around is superfluous.

Thanks, personally I’ve always thought that for really loud home cinema you don’t want speakers that are as forward so maybe definitive technology or speakers like Kef ls50 meta, as the treble could become grating as you turn volume up. That said you could dial it out with the receiver , av processor etc. depends if using the speakers for 2channel as well. The choices, the choices….

Thanks - Trying to find that "one trick pony" that can kinda do it all...some two-channel music listening, while also being able to handle some Home Theater duties, as well. Don't know if I should do speakers that handle ATMOS, etc...as they'd bring even more to the table. I heard FOCALs at AXPONA (Chicago) last year...they were really nice. Quality stuff those FOCAL speakers

Thank you. I would choose the brx very easily. More accurate, more precision, better resolution.

@@13thnotehifireviews7 Thanks for the reply. You are helping to narrow down the next investment ;)

I’d definitely agree with your former point, though for home cinema personally I’d prefer something a little more tonally relaxed so you can have it higher volume

@@13thnotehifireviews7 thank you for the perspective. I think you are absolutely correct on both accounts. Love your channel, and thank you for bringing consistent excellent reviews. Best regards

These , more gutsier stronger dynamic performers and accuracy

It’s a good price but they only tend to do that in new year to encourage sales. I’ve seen BRX in uk for £1300. They are usually £1700

In fairness to Steve G I was careful in the sense I used the word postulate (postulate - suggest or assume the existence, fact, or truth of (something) as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or belief). Discussion being the operative word here….He didn’t actually say it would or does cause issues and I only mentioned it for GoldenEar’s benefit to dispel the armchair commenters who might then put someone else off considering trying them. 😀

Thanks for the vocabulary lesson but I do have an education. 🙂@@13thnotehifireviews7

I do research before each video, quite a bit goes into this. The kefs are £1200 and goldenears £1700 as I clearly said in the video, and if people are quick you can get a pair from audiologica for £1300…I researched and contacted them too! 😀

size and sound wise more comparable to R3

@MrPigeonaids the ls50 meta is closer in size to the GoldenEar than the GoldenEar is in size to the KEF R3 meta. It’s only really the depth of the GoldenEars over the ls50 meta and it’s not by a lot. The BRX have that narrow front baffle I mentioned and certainly if you were placing these on stands or the KEFs on stands, neither is really going to trouble over space requirements in respect to each other.

@@13thnotehifireviews7 The Kef LS50 meta is £899 from all sorts of places. The Kef R3 Meta is £1899 this is comparable to the Golden ear

I went and have to go off the MRRP’s because lots of these dealers are undercutting the brands own prices which they won’t like particular when KEF want to sell direct too from their website. Additionally they often will go back to normal price and review has to stand test of time. In some respects they are equal or nearly so in the UK as Audiologica are currently (at time of review) selling BRX’s for £1300. But my point is the KEFs are comparative to the BRX’s in many places in the states and this video is not just for people in the UK. So yes the BRX are comparative to the GokdenEar BRX in some places. Do you own the KEF, hence your post…

. AMT tweeters have great difficulty playing low. Therefore the mid-bass needs to cross over pretty high. Sometimes in the 7,000Hz range. This now forces the mid-bass into a wider range, at the expense of the lower frequencies. Loudspeakers with AMTs really need to be only in 3-ways because of this common problem.

This one probably crosses maybe at 3.5k. Depends how big the AMT is too (narrower vertical dispersion for longer ones though) @@TriAmpHiFi

But how about the passive radiators in that…..

Corduroy the group sounds pretty good on these. Love a bit of acid jazz, was into them heavily in the 90s and still
