BRITON III

BRITON TubeMaster Coming Soon

​

BRITON Loudspeakers make a Retro, High-End Audio... Statement!

BRITON III shares DNA from Gottenburg in its unique co-axial true point-source driver loading. Briton III is a Large, full-range stand-mount loudspeaker designed for critical listening in the studio or home setting: for near-field and far-field applications. Easy to drive and perfect for tubes or transistors.

BRITON III will conjure up images of 1970's audio: tubes, vinyl, and stereo consoles but with true audiophile high resolution sound.  BRITON III Co-Axial makes a Retro Audio Statement!

​

Briton III's Shallow wide-body form-factor requires no more space than many smaller monitors. The large (15") woofer is loaded in a "jetted" configuration with an 12" opening at the front and has our frame-less protective grills as the only option. The Briton III's cabinet is made of solid mahogany and maple wood no ply or MDF. Norse style dovetail joinery which is both beautiful and super strong.

BRITON III Co-Axial Loudspeakers + 300B tube amplifier

Hi David,

It's been sufficient time, I think, to get to know your Briton III's a little better, having put 10-12 hrs. on them.  The highest complement I could pay them is that I have stopped looking further.  As so many of us have done over the years, going from speaker to speaker, looking for the ideal match, I have come to some conclusions about what to look for: 1) Sensitivity high enough to accommodate a low watt s.e.t. amp. 2) Frequency range sufficient to eliminate need for a sub. 3) Passive rather than active powered units, 4) A "big" sound that is balanced and realistic from a relatively small and easy to handle unit, 5) Real hard wood and workmanship a definite plus.  The BIII's have it all - refinement, presence, large and deep sound stage, easy to drive, dead quiet white space, lovely upper & mid range and  down to what must be the limits of the audible range.  But more than the individual aspects of the soundscape is the synergy where it all seems to come together to present a most aesthetically pleasing listening experience: I am truly able to "enjoy the music," and look forward to many years with them in my home.

Best regards!
