Just across the corridor from a £100k system that was difficult to listen to, Goldenear brought a system based around Heed electronics and their BRX standmounts that feature AMT tweeters and twin sidemounted passive radiators for the bass loading. A system that comes in at under £5k was by far a more musical experience than across the corridor. Not the same level of detail, but engaging - you wanted to listen and listen to more, as opposed to wanting to leave the room. Goldenear demonstrated the system with and without the subwoofer. This added bass (as you might expect) and cleaned up female vocals (which you might not expected) but also made the timing of the music more sluggish. I preferred the system without, but more experimentation or a different room (this was a small room) may have given a different result.
