Don’t Miss! Audiophile deals between $150-$350 Right Now

[@PioneerDoom7114]

Mrs. Clause bought me the WiiM Ultra!! sooo excited to open this present on Christmas Day! Also purchased the WiiM Amp for my 5 year old sons bedroom; going to be giving him my vintage JBL 62 bookshelf speakers ❤

[@mvonwalter6927]

Wiim Amp is awesome if you aren't the type to go above 85db all that much which is like 99% of my listening. $250 is a no brainer if you are doing a turntable and apple play. Sounds excellent with my Wharfedale 8.1

[@claybournewhite4680]

What timing! Not two hours before seeing this ordered both the WiiM Ultra and the Borea BR03s. Both looked like crazy deals to this novice. Thanks for the timely seal of approval!

[@LarcR]

Still waiting to see if Geshelli is going to get into the Black Friday spirit.

I neve🎉r understood Randy's slightly negative review of the BR03s back in the day and certainly haven't experienced the veiled midrange he mentions at all - quite the opposite in fact. I chose them in FAR preference to the reviewers darling, the Elac UB5.2. The BR03s are absolutely stunning speakers and they get even better with break in. I'm still using them nearly 4 years later and have little incentive to 'improve' on them. To do better I'd have to go to something like the Kef R3 Meta, but they are more than 4x what I paid for the Triangles and nearly 7x the cost of the Triangle now. Diminishing returns and all that. They're a seriously good speaker

[@TwoBlackMarks]

I bought the BR03s in 2021, they cost 407$ including Triangle speaker cables. They are the best cheap speakers I have had, I have tried some others, but never (until now maybe) found someone better overall, even 2-3 times more expensive ones, some have been better at some stuff, but not overall better. By overall I mean for ALL kinds of music, and movies and video games. Now I have Polk Legend 200 speakers, they are the first speakers I have heard in my room that is possible better overall than the Triangle ones, but they are much more expensive. (I did buy demo speakers though) They actually sounded very good straight out of the box. I do find it hard to compare speakers though, since you get used to the sound and all that. I would probably always recommend the BR03s if you do not have any speakers. Hard to beat them for the money. They are better than for example Elac Debut B6.2, in all aspects, also in looks! The Elacs really look awful I think, so it is not hard to better there.. I have very good hearing and I do not like to listen to very loud volumes.

[@TheRocco28]

Great suggestions as always. Too bad that our prices in Canada 🇨🇦 are so much higher. Just ordered a pair of Polk Audio XT15’s for $175 CDN regularly $249 CDN.

[@peterlundskow4061]

I bought a Bro 3 several years ago on sale. I still use it as my bookshelf speaker & so happy I bought it back then!

[@PhilOrmsby]

Me too

[@edenmolinar2086]

I was initially interested in getting the Monoprice AMP, but after they took a more capitalistic approach, I decided to move on. I shifted my focus to one of the WiiM amps, specifically the WiiM Pro Plus or the Ultra. If only Geshelli Labs would join in the holiday spirit, I would gladly drop everything for their J2 DAC.

[@BeamerTime354]

I have a set of elac tower speakers and they have done their job for the past 10 years 😂

[@scottivlow9962]

I bought another pair of Goldwood speakers that doesn't get mentioned on this channel. Acoustic Audio AA251B. I paid $45.88 on Amazon. It has more frequency in the lower bass range at 8 ohm instead of 6 ohm on the Goldwood DPI speakers. They are both the same size. I wish some people would learn that when it comes to good speakers under 10 inches they have options and don't need big ass loud speakers. They just need very good surround speakers but from this channel it's all about the front 2.

[@beammeupscotty1955]

I bought the Klipsch RP 500M on your recommendation several months ago and find them to be very nice.

[@matthieuphaneuf]

Randy doesn’t like the br03 as much as other reviewers . In my humble opinion , they are much better than he claims . Had them for two years and found them best bang for the buck under 500$ . I had them paired with the audiolab 6000A play . Wonderful match . I now switched for br09 , a friend sold them for 700$ cad . I sometimes miss my br03 !

[@s.daniel9224]

Monoprice should take the price back down. I hate seeing companies do this. I know and I get it, but come on….build a customer base on good intentions.

[@GoranG-v9r]

Hi mate, any chance you could test the burson v7 vivid opamps in the fosi za3 and compare them to the sparcos..? Being in Australia, it's a very expensive process to test and return if it's not good..! 😊

[@JR-ho5qm]

Funny thing is I actually have a 5.3 Polk Signature (not Elite) theatre system and also CerwinVega! SL12 two channel system and the CerwinVega! Is much better than the Polks imo. And anyone who has listened. The Polks have perhaps a touch more sparkle at lower volumes. But that’s about all they do better. P.S. I appreciate both systems. But the Vegas! Are simply just un appreciated and not taken seriously.

[@leecooper8589]

I still watch these great deal updates even though so often these deals (or even the products on occasion) aren't available here in the UK. For example the most common price for a Wiim ultra here in the UK is around £350 currently. That's about $440......$263 you say? I want to weep!

[@MisterFastbucks]

I was wondering when one of you reviewer guys was going to mention the BRO3s. I've had a pair now for three weeks. They sound good and look gorgeous. And at this current price they don't make my wallet cry.

[@neepers]

Happy to see you focusing on budget deals! Thank you!

[@eddents]

Thanks for putting these on our radar Randy!

[@jasonarsenault3791]

Always a good watch. Keep these coming.

[@adsph]

These deals are coming in fast and furious. Geez !

[@tomreidy1237]

Randy- been thinking of getting the Elac Debut 3 with the 6 1/2” woofer for front speakers and stereo music listening. If you were spending approximately $450- would this speaker be the one you would get? I don’t have the funds to buy several speakers in this price range and compare them in my house. Thanks for the recommendation. Always enjoy your videos.

[@cheapaudioman]

It’s a great all around speaker. But a little rolled off on top. If you want a lot of top end detail you should also consider the Emotiva XB1’s. I think the Polk R100’s are also on sale around $450

[@tomreidy1237]

@@cheapaudioman thank you sir!

[@jameswalkowiak7620]

Returned the Mini and ordered the Ultra yesterday. I also decide this morning to go to 4 channel so am returning the M2100 and ordered the BasX A4 from Emotiva. With the sale price plus discount it was $439.20!!

Got the Triangles on Black Friday two years ago for $300. I’ve enjoyed them. Good dispersion and separation, but mid bass clarity and punch is not happening. Recommend at that price

[@seano218]

I auditioned those on a Rega Brio and a Naim Unity Atom and found them to be the most boring speakers I've ever heard to the point I started playing on my phone and forgot I was listening to them. I don't get the hype.

[@vladimirjovanovic2803]

@lawtherj1 got the Triangles 3 years ago. I found them to be a bit shouty and overly lively in the treble area, so I sold them vey fast

[@Andrew-ol5yh]

Ordered a pair of Walnut 85th anniv. Lintons, great deal, but back ordered. It'll be a while before I see them, but the wait will be worth it.

[@marksonsparks698]

The Triangle BR03 speaker could be had for $350 more than 3 years ago. Haven't seen them for sale for any more than that for a long time including the new colour/finishes of that model.

[@leebee6382]

The back brackets on the Polks can rattle at certain frequencies... (I'd owned Polk in the past, and went with the ES20's). They needed to be returned and so I went with Wharfedale Diamond 12.2's. Super happy.

[@mrpink3630]

crazy how you were super happy with a speaker that costs twice as much..../sarcasm

[@1337sim1]

​@@mrpink3630I've seen Wharfedale diamonds half price going around. They are more expensive yes, but is actually a good speaker. 👍

[@grillmeisterflash]

ive used the BR03s with a Rega AMP, absolutely amazing speakers for the price, hard to beat!

[@1337sim1]

I'd recommend to get something else than the BR03 because they have a boomy+bright sound, resonances and directivity error...

[@myfreakyvalentine]

I used to have the Yamaha R-S202. Not a bad little amp, but the spring speaker terminals are too small to take decent wire, unfortunately. Otherwise, a lot of "bang for buck".

[@marklawrence17]

I knew Paul Klipsch. Very odd guy. He was a pilot, he flew himself everywhere. He wore three watches on each wrist so that wherever he landed he already had a watch set to the right time zone. Because of all his flying I don't think he could hear anything over about 8,000 Hz. Which explains why his speakers had miraculous low end, excellent midrange, and a very weird top end. After he died the focus on horns was tuned down and the top end got a bit more normal.

[@JLMLawliet]

hmm, if my memory serves me correct I spent less the 300 on my Bro3. I know they weren't more than what I spent on my KefQ100 several years ago. I will say the Kef's sound better but if I didn't have the Sub I would go with the Bro3.

[@hifi-photo-Brian]
