triangle - BOREA BR08 Hi-Fi Floorstanding Speakers - Power handling 150W - Efficiency 92 dB/W/m - 16cm Drivers - Versatile Music and Home Cinema - 206 x 1020 x 314 mm - Walnut (Piece)

I received these speakers yesterday and spent the rest of the day listening to music and at night I saw a movie. Paired them with my Yamaha receiver & my Emotiva Pre Amp and also using my Elac 10" sub...The speakers are very detailed and added realism to the music and the movie. Paid $851 for both including taxes which is a great deal. I have seen these speakers for above $1,000 each on some places. They worth the money and more. You can compare them with other speakers like Polk Audio, Klipsch, Fluance, Martin Logan, Pioneer, Jamo and for me these are above of them in terms of sound and quality. I have owned all of those brands, except Martin Logan and can talk about it....Voices, highs and mids are over the top. I think they are a little bit short on the bass. But with a sub you can fill all of your room with clarity and big natural and excellent sound. Is what I was looking for. I don't regret for choosing these speakers and they still breaking in for the better...Also my music room is not to big, just 9' x 11'. I read that these speakers are made for bigger rooms. Well that is all I can tell you. Hope everybody who is reading this review may take the right decision.....For me worth every penny.

Like the title says, I’ve been very happy with the way these speakers sound and they are very efficient. I’m powering mine with both a Marantz AVR, as well as a Dayton audio, hybrid tube amp, and in both cases, the speakers sound fantastic. Make no mistake, if you Like a lot of bass, you will still want a subwoofer but they can stand on their own for critical listening

So very happy I bought these speakers. I'm completely satisfied they sound incredible. Better than my GNP's or my Thiels. Running them through a HK AVR without issue. Could not be happier! Arrived in 72 hours in perfect condition.

I got one speaker instead of the advertised two. Don't know what is going on

These speakers sound really clean and look fantastic

I have the ELAC debut and I think those sound better, but they are OK, a little bass light

BEAUTIFUL, crystal clear sound. A lot of sound for the money. The design is absolutely modern.

Upgrading audio gear has always been a spiral climb for me, like a raptor using heat and currents to gain altitude gradually. Finding what gear meshes well and provides the type of synergy that creates music that sounds better than it should for the price point of the gear is key. I do have a limited audio budget, and after getting over a period of years a Hegel integrated amplifier, then an Audiolab CD transport, I began stalking speakers. My Totem Rainmakers sounded fine---they still do---but I missed the fuller experience of sitting between a pair of floor-standing speakers. I was questing for speakers to use in a 11' by 15' space and needed some that were efficient, would not call undue attention to themselves, and were within my fairly modest budget. I settled on a pair of Triangle Borea BR08 speakers in walnut as they suited my room, but the white and black finishes also look fine. They come with wooden plinths and spikes for an extra measure of stability and are equipped with magnetic grills, a nice feature. The cabinets are manufactured wood and the dark finish looks nice with my gear (which is black). I will not delve into the technical description Triangle provides except to say that I think the sound that these speakers creates is quite crisp and nuanced. I generally listen to a fair amount of jazz, some electronic music, plenty of rock, and some Americana folk. In other words, anything from old Fleetwood Mac (before Buckingham-Nicks) and Family, to the Gourds or Woods, to Gil-Scott Heron or Flying Lotus, to King Crimson, E.S.T, Joe Henry, Mathias Eick, or Dan Weiss. If your read between the lines, I guess the point is that I am not listening to much blunt force rock. I enjoy complex and subtle and unusual elements in music. And that is why I think the Triangle Borea BR08 speakers suit me. They excel at reproducing percussion and have clear mid-range and high-range sound. Bass is fine for me but these speakers are not going to render gut-bucket bass with the punch that some may be seeking. I would argue that Triangle is pitching these speakers for perhaps listeners who wants to sit and listen, taking time to deconstruct the music and letting the sound wash over them like a rain shower. The BRO8 speakers have a lush, but crisp presentation. They reproduce music clearly and precisely and with energy. They are not super finicky as far as placement, but I do give my space some room to breath. I do wish the speaker connectors allowed direct insertion of banana plugs on cables as you have to twist the connectors, insert the plugs, then tighten them. Not a big deal, but this is a feature I have always preferred. Now a bit more about those connectors. When my speakers arrived last September, they were both damaged by the shipping company despite careful packing by the seller. Most serious was that the speaker plate containing the connectors was shattered, creating both the potential for wires to contact each other and leaving the cabinets open. (The seller was very gracious and worked with me.) I needed to replace the damaged part and also found that I was missing several of the spikes. I contacted Triangle USA which is affiliated with Antal Audio Group, and they very promptly found a replacement part and another set of spikes and sent them to me at no costs. Kudos to Triangle for such services. The bottom line is that there are several excellent tower speakers at this price point, and how one bests the others is often a subjective matter. I recommend auditioning the Triangle Borea BR08 if possible and see what you think. The imaging, clarity, and decent but not overbearing looks were just what I wanted in this loop of my audio upgrade spiral.

Super schnell geliefert, und toller Sound.

J’ai dû aller chercher les enceintes moi-même chez le livreur. Le colis était en piteux état et il manquait la centrale. Quand je suis rentré dans le hangar c’était le gros bordel à l’intérieur J’ai dû ouvrir les deux cartons pour vérifier l’état des colonnes vu le poids c’était galère mais nécessaire. L’enceinte centrale a été expédiée par la suite avec un autre livreur RAS. À part ça, les enceintes sont très belles et parfaite pour mon home cinéma.

Sono ancora in fase di prova, sembra un ottimo prodotto per la fascia di prezzo Un grazie particolare al venditore, molto disponibile e gentile

WhatHifi say you need a big room for these speakers - all I can say is small conservatory concentrates the acoustics with fantastic results!

Triangle Borea BR08 are really good speakers. For the money, balanced mid tones, clear and accurate high tones. The bass is also accurate, but less deep due to the diameter of the speaker. (I compared my own home-made speaker with ARN-312/312 mm) The seller is very communicative and fast. Although one of the boxes was damaged by traffic, the seller quickly replaced it with a new one.
