triangle Borea BR03 Hi-Fi Bookshelf Speakers (Black Ash, Pair)

Best speakers I have tried so far. I replaced my B&W 607 for these in the living room and I have no regrets. I even prefer them to the KEF R3 because of their better high-end clarity. At first the low-end wasnt much to write home about but it develops over time. They definitely have a break in period before they sound their best, so make sure you dont return them right away if you think they are lacking. Id say these compete with the Klipsch RP600M MK2 for a much cheaper price.

Very high quality speakers….great soundstage and imaging. Very impressed with the sound quality great for acoustic music when paired to a tube amp. Very detailed….

Very pleased with the sound quality of these speakers when driven by my Marantz.

I love these speakers. Theses speakers sound great ! Great separation, the instruments never sound muddled. Nice clarity. The mid range is prominent but does not get in the way or overpower, it enhances the listening experience. The treble is smooth, never bright. I am not a bass head and for me the bass is nice, its strong but not over powering. the bass, treble and mid range all blend evenly but each is distinct. I dont think you could find a better sounding or more enjoyable speaker to listen to for $549.00. Adorama shipped them very quickly. I ordered them late on Thursday and they were delivered on Monday morning. Great service. Excellent speakers.

I bought these based on positive reviews from several trusted youtube based reviewers. Those reviewers are still trusted, these are great sounding speakers out of the box. They produce a full range of sound including clear highs, strong bass (no sub required) and very smooth mid range vocals. Im looking forward to spending a lot more time with these speakers.

I purchased these speakers 5-6 months ago. I was a little leary purchasing speakers for two reasons. First and foremost, I could not audition them. Secondly, shipping, I have seen some nightmare packages come through UPS, FedEx, USPS, and Amazon Prime. Ill start with the shipping. The speakers arrived when promised and the box was almost without any marks so I was very happy before I opened the box. Triangle takes EXTREME care with its packaging. I think it would take a catostrophic incident to damage the speakers the way Triangle packs them in the box. I truly couldnt be happier with how they were received. As for buying speakers unheard, well, with Covid I just planned on doing as much research as I could and then get ready to receive and return a few sets of speakers. I started with setting a budget of $500.00 for a bookshelf speaker. I wanted something that could fill a modest-sized room with sound, yet not dominate the room visually in size. After doing some research I felt I could find some fairly good speakers at that price. This was a number I was more than comfortable with, and I was ready to go up as high as $1000 if I found something that really blew me away. I started reading about bookshelf speakers and was resolved to the fact that I was most likely going to have to add a sub since just about every review of speakers in this price range was underwhelmed by the bass produced by bookshelf speakers. So now my budget was $750-1000 for sure. I dove into the search reading reviews from at least 50 different publications. I started forming a short list that included Bowers & Wilkins 607 S2 Anniversary Edition, DALI - Oberon 3, Focal Chora 806, ELAC Uni-Fi 2.0 UB52, and KEF Q350. Then I came across a review of the Triangle Borea BR03. The reviewer was so passionate about these speakers and spent so much time detailing the sound that they produced. It really struck a chord with me. The size of the sound stage they produced. The clarity. The detail in the music. Base reproduction that eliminated the need for a sub. I looked for more reviews and found several more that echoed the first. Each author was mesmerized by these unassuming bookshelf speakers. I was convinced to give them a try. I pulled the trigger on a pair in white and looked forward to the day of them arriving. I have had them hooked up to a NAD T770 receiver for 4 months, and recently hooked them up to a Pioneer SA-7800 II and a Topping E30. The NAD produces a modestly rated 70 watts per channel and the SA-7800 65 wpc. These speakers sounded wonderful right out of the box, but have really opened up with time. The speakers are exactly as described by the reviewers. They have impressed me with the sound. I am not a writer. I cannot begin to detail what my ears tell me. All I can say is these speakers are amazing. I want to talk about fit and finish. For under $600 I wasnt expecting to be so impressed with how well built and braced the speakers are. They are rock solid. The finish is beautiful. They are as pleasing to the eye as they are the ear. To finish, I want to say that no, I did not compare them to anything else. I bought them and fell in love with them. I have no desire to hear anything else. I got it right on the first try. Blown away and very happy about it.

Comparada con las bocinas que usamos los pobres, esta es simplemente una de las mejores, mejor que Polk Audio, mejor que Boston Acoustic, mejor que otras marcas que he utilizado en pareja de bocinas de estantes por debajo de los 800 dólares. Mi parecer sobre el mercado de bocinas sobre el precio de los 1000 dólares, es que tienen muy poco que aportar, aparte del estatus de tener algo caro que otros no pueden tener. Es como la comparación entre un Toyota Camry y un Mercedes Benz, simplemente el estatus de quien lo usa, pero la usabilidad diaria para transporte de un ser humano común, ambos son iguales. La calidad del sonido de estas bocinas es genial, muy detallado y los bajos hay que decir que son potentes y ajustados, ayudados por la versatilidad de que tienen el puerto de refuerzo de bajos por delante y lo tienen doble. La mayoría de la gente de este post que habla tan bien de este par de bocinas, no puede estar equivocada, valen cada centavo por ellas.

My cat killed my MMG’s so I bought these as a replacement. I expected a step down. It wasn’t. More clarity, better imaging. Sometimes I hear what I think people mean when they say layered sound. I suspect at this price there are none substantial better.

I compared these to the Klipsh RP-600M + Elac Debut 6.2 + Polk XT20 + Sony SSCS5 all side by side. I was using a Sony 100W $600 amp with a subwoofer. The Arrow were far and above the standouts, only the Klipsch competed, but severely lacked imaging and emotional response and dynamic range by comparison. It did have a lower mid base that seemed a bit more full at times. The Arrow sound amazing from Classical to Rock to Vocals. The paper cones have an incredible ability to reach into your chest and command emotion in a way that none of the others did whatsoever, adding a whole other dimension to music, there is a sweetness and magic to the listening. Zero Fidelity audio review on Youtube called them his favorite speakers under $1,000. There is ton of acclaim for the others in this list but I would ignore it. Maybe compare them to the Klipsh but not the others. The Elac 6.2 was very boring and flat (on mid range 100W equipment), the next step up from them is supposed to be better. The PolkXT20 were very low quality by comparison but also cost less. The Sony were great for $120 range but were lacking in base. There was also an audiophile comparing them with me who agreed with all of the above, I dont claim that but I have a good ear. I had the mahogany ones for anyone comparing colors to sound reviews. Note: make sure to try them without tone controls, they sounded far better without. All that being said, while they definitely have strong base, sometime they seem a bit lacking in the mid bass volume.

Speakers had a nice tone to them but they had problems keeping instruments in the same register distinct which made me reluctantly send them back. It was noted by Thomas stereo on YouTube also
