“What was simply stunning was the stereo imaging that’s
possible with the Brix, particularly if you stand-mount
them around a metre out from a rear wall. With some
careful positioning, we were rewarded with sound that
was almost headphone-like in its spatial treatment of the
two channels.” –AustralianHi-Fi

“A High End Loudspeaker For A Bargain Price – The
question must be: what faults has this little boy? My
skilled and experienced friend has also had problems to
point out any serious faults in the three weeks while the
Krix Equinox have played daily, both as a test object and
purely and simply as a music promoter. Possible faults
must lie in the limitations, which is the actual size. Facts
are that this product must have been subject to a long,
and at times laborious amount of tweaking and maturing
with a producer who has gone to unusually professional
lengths to make it work.” –AudioMagazine–Norway

“On all my audiophile CDs I heard tremendous depth – it
really sounded like some of the musicians were 20 feet
behind the room’s front wall. The imaging on the percussion
instruments was nothing short of amazing; it seemed like
the percussionists were right there between the speakers.”
