Michael,

We are painfully aware of that reality. It’s the reality of the situation right now.

$600 for a pair is way to high

Jim,

So here’s the thing. Unless manufacturers send us products in specific price categories to review, we can’t comment on it. I recognise the gap but it’s based on real-world listening experience. We review over 200 products a year and publish an additional 800+ feature and news stories. Only so many hours in the day.

Maybe another at the 3-8k point. I’m waiting on the GR Research monitor and floorstander just about to be released in this price range.

Zander,

We’ve not had a chance to hear those yet. I own a pair of BR03 BT and love them. Q1 2026 review likely.

I’ve been tempted by the Q Acoustics but ultimately went with the Triangle Borea BRO4’s (found them for just over $450). Curious if you considered the BR04’s as part of the assessment?

Anton,

They are not “butt” ugly. The photos don’t do the little details justice. More detailed review to follow. They are $600 and the little details reflect that. They do make the drivers in Denmark, but these were definitely assembled overseas.

They are butt ugly and feel like “DALI opened a factory in China” cheap.

Are they even worth $600? The Vera-Fi look so much nicer.

ATC is true high end audio. Not cheap.
