> 3 dayReceived these 4ohm speakers today. Mated with a Krell s300i stereo amplifier with 300 watts driving each speaker. These nicely built speakers sounded very good right out of the box with separation and soundstage. Bass should be just fine for most. Itll be interesting to hear after 100 hours or so. Im impressed.

> 3 dayBest speakers I have tried so far. I replaced my B&W 607 for these in the living room and I have no regrets. I even prefer them to the KEF R3 because of their better high-end clarity. At first the low-end wasnt much to write home about but it develops over time. They definitely have a break in period before they sound their best, so make sure you dont return them right away if you think they are lacking. Id say these compete with the Klipsch RP600M MK2 for a much cheaper price.

> 3 dayGreat bookshelf speakers that sound amazing. I have these paired with an IOTAVX SA3 integrated amp. Room is about 12x12 and they have no issue filling the room with sound. They sound great, very well balanced, the trebles arent over accentuated and bright. Very well balanced. I wish they had a bit more staging, better imaging/detail, and transparency, but at this price point they are very fun to listen to and Ive spent more time just listening. I will be keeping these for some time, even if I do upgrade to a higher $$ loudspeaker. ***I did add a separate amped sub to fill out the lower bass frequencies, but that is somewhat to be expected with bookshelf speakers. That being said, I used them for a month without a sub and they were still very enjoyable. While these arent the speakers for everyone, Id gamble that the vast majority of folks will enjoy this speaker.

> 3 dayFirst, they sound terrific. I have them connected to a Cambridge CXA60, and this is a great combination. I tried them with other budget receivers--Onkyo A-9110, NAD C 316BEE--they all sound good, but the CXA60 is a really great complement. I realize the CXA60 is hard to find now, but get something comparable--one good step up from the entry level, and you will have a system that you could be happy with for many years. Everything sounds good--all different kinds of music, though female vocals really shine. They have a sense of scale that is unusual at this price level--the music immerses you in lovely sound. Not bad at all in critical listening mode, though not the equal of pricier speakers like the KEF LS50s. If you can just want to enjoy the music, this is really easy to do with these speakers. Sound profile: the most prominent qualities are a highly addictive, in-your-face midrange and wide, airy soundstage. Fortunately, the treble is well-balanced, so no fatigue. The bass is ok; I think a subwoofer is a good addition. Clarity is good, imaging is good, soundstage is excellent. There are some excellent competitors in the $500-ish price range, something good for every taste--these BR03s are flat out good for kickin back and enjoying music. Not a transformative audiophile experience, just a lot of fun. A few comparative listening experiences: 1) Melody Gardots Baby Im a Fool is simply stunning on the BR03-CXA combo, outdueling KEF LS50-Musical Fidelity M2si with a lighter-than-air yet massive soundstage; 2) Big Stars Thirteen is satisfying but the LS50-M2si wins here with greater density in the sound--the thinner sound (some might call it airiness) of the BR03s suffer by comparison, and the precise imaging of the LS50s get lost in the BR03s, where Alex Chilton does not always feel dead-center; 3) Post Malones Circles wins on the LS50-M2si on style points: both are punchy and infective but the LS50-M2si team combines it all together with a more organic feel, but its close, especially with the wider and airier soundstage of the BR03-CXA setup; 4) Alicia de Larrocha playing Albenizs Iberia, El Puerto wins on the LS50-M2si with better resolution of the dense chords and better precision in the piano transients despite the bigger soundstage of the BR03-CXA60 setup; 5) Rafael Kubelik & the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra playing Mahlers Symphony #1, 2nd movement again wins on the LS50-M2si, and this time, its not close, as the BR03-CXA60 just sounds off--the instruments lack the real quality of strings and woodwinds; the sound is nice but not realistic. Summary: The BR03s are a lot of fun, and the price is affordable. Theyre less accurate and lack the weight and density of sound in comparison to more expensive speakers, such as the KEF LS50s, but they have a fantastic soundstage and airiness for the price. Female vocals are especially strong with these speakers.

> 3 dayAfter reading countless reviews and watching y/tube videos praising these speakers I bought these from adorama over b/friday. They sound good but nowhere as good as I was led to believe. They image fairly well and Im sure most people will find them to be adequate, but they just didnt do it for me. I found them lacking in weight in their sound signature and sounding hallow. I have the Klipsch RP600Ms and the Studio 530s and after A/Bing both, preferred them both over the BRO3s. In another room I have the Polk RTIA3 and though the BRO3s offer a pleasing sounding high end, in the end the lack of bass response made me gravitate toward the Polks. So maybe Z was right after all. Theres something not quite right about these speakers. Either a defect or something that only some people experience because it seems a majority of folks seem to love the BRO3s. In my case, I was happy to bear the cost of return shipping to send these back. For me to keep them, they would have to be discernibly better than what I have...and they were not.

> 3 dayMy cat killed my MMG’s so I bought these as a replacement. I expected a step down. It wasn’t. More clarity, better imaging. Sometimes I hear what I think people mean when they say layered sound. I suspect at this price there are none substantial better.

> 3 dayComparada con las bocinas que usamos los pobres, esta es simplemente una de las mejores, mejor que Polk Audio, mejor que Boston Acoustic, mejor que otras marcas que he utilizado en pareja de bocinas de estantes por debajo de los 800 dólares. Mi parecer sobre el mercado de bocinas sobre el precio de los 1000 dólares, es que tienen muy poco que aportar, aparte del estatus de tener algo caro que otros no pueden tener. Es como la comparación entre un Toyota Camry y un Mercedes Benz, simplemente el estatus de quien lo usa, pero la usabilidad diaria para transporte de un ser humano común, ambos son iguales. La calidad del sonido de estas bocinas es genial, muy detallado y los bajos hay que decir que son potentes y ajustados, ayudados por la versatilidad de que tienen el puerto de refuerzo de bajos por delante y lo tienen doble. La mayoría de la gente de este post que habla tan bien de este par de bocinas, no puede estar equivocada, valen cada centavo por ellas.
