Have these ever been at $299? I definitely remember seeing some colors at $349.

I have the BR08's for fronts/& matching center in my living room, but I wouldn't go with these for nearfield listening: https://www.audiosciencereview.co...ker.21739/

I have the Elac Debut Reference DBR62's in my office, and they are noticably flatter than the BR08's up close. Great for music when working. I think the mid's just hollow out a bit with the BR08's and assume similar will happen with the BR03' seeing Amir's findings and the driver's being identical with the same tweeter waveguide.

That's my 2 cents.

Fantastic speakers for the price but you might want a sub to pair with them. If you like a lot of bass.

I appreciate the feedback re the speaker for desktop/nearfield use, but you cannot seriously proffer as an alternative something that is $500 more and over 2.5x the price on Slickdeals, that is just not serious

I paid much less thanks to Amazon Warehouse. There are deals to be found. Either well, it's well worth spending a bit more for something noticably better. Even if not Elac's.

Check ASR for recommendations, they are more scientific than my mere opinion. Though I do highly recommend Elac's, from personal experience. KEF as well, though mine are much older.

Ascend 170SE2 would be a better bet if you are sensitive to strong treble, the current version is now Klippel optimized for a more neutral sound.

Overall this is an excellent deal for a pair of lively and front ported speakers that would be especially good for movies. Kills the SVS Prime bookshelves which are double the price.

I have the BR04 and absolutely love them. The fill up a 450 square foot open concept (with open staircase) easily and for rock music, I don't even feel the need for subwoofer in that space.

Great speakers for rock music, and not fatiguing at all. I've never used them for movies...not sure if that is in their wheelhouse or not.

Supposedly these BR03 are very similar but not tuned quite as good as the BR04. This is a great deal for that application, but for nearfield, supposedly the BR02 is the better choice if you want to go Triangle.

I have these. They do not handle complex rock music well. Good if you listen to pop, hip hop, or other genres. Just don't expect it to sound good with any kind of rock tracks, seriously awful compared to q1 meta or elac speakers at similar prices.

Got my Driftwood BR03s from Adorama in 2023 for $299.
