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

Ive owned speakers that cost 10 times more than these (Paradigm Signature S2 V3), and while the much more expensive ones were better, it wasnt by a great margin. It blows my mind that these are selling for about $300. Their original MSRP was around $600, and they were a steal at that price. These sound fantastic. The bass is detailed and actually reveals texture and tone that most speakers obscure. The midrange is open and revealing. Music with several layers of instruments can be peeled back if the recording allows. Instrument separation is really good with these speakers. Voices sound incredibly natural. Theres no hint of boxiness or congestion. They reveal so much texture in vocals. Voices like Norah Jones and Don Henley that actually have a lot of subtleties sound superb. The treble, is very sweet and detailed. Cymbals, hi-hats, strings all also reveal a lot of texture. I hate to keep using that word, but nothing is glossed over with these speakers. If its in the mix, youll hear it. The midrange and the treble are a bit forward, but not in a bad way. These are energetic speakers. They are dynamic and lively. Although they are front ported, they do like to be pulled out a bit into the room for the best soundstage and imaging. With the right placement, the soundstage can get wide (beyond the speakers), but never really gets very deep. But vocals and some instruments seem to jump out into the room. So there is good front to back soundstage. But it doest often sound like anything is going on behind the speakers. The only reason I even notice this is because the $3000 Paradigms were so damn good at it. I never get tired of listening to them. In the past, Ive had urges to upgrade equipment, especially speakers. But not with these. The Borea BR03s will keep me happy for a long time.

These speakers are amazing. Even cheaper now then when I bought them. I ordered 2 pairs and both had a little imperfection. Minor nitpick but one corner in the back of the speaker was chipped and another chipped in the middle back area. Nothing I would go out of my way to refund since both speakers do work perfectly.

This speaker is not decent in bass response without some EQ or a sub. Thats disappointing given its size. Otherwise its okay. I do think the Elac Reference speaker out shines this Triangle offering for about the same money. Want to sample? buy this speaker on the promise of a return if dissatisfied. For some setups it could shine like a diamond. Sadly, not so for me. I find it lacks just too much in the bottom end for classical & jazz music without help from a sub. Good build quality and stylish drivers. Perhaps nice for a second hi fi setup with casual use.

I bought these BR03s to replace a pair of speakers I recently purchased, but didnt like. Im not going to name the brand or model. They werent horrible, they just werent right for me. To avoid purchasing another pair of disappointing speakers, I read many more reviews this time. Regardless of the source, these Triangles were getting rave reviews. So I took a chance and ordered them. I am blown away by how good these speakers sound. The detail is so satisfying. The bass response is deep and tight - I presume this is the result of the dual bass ports located at the front of the speaker, not at the rear. Theyre efficient too. I have them paired with a modest 40 watts per channel amp. I have no idea how far you can turn these up, because I stopped when the volume became uncomfortably loud. I give these speakers top marks in every category. If youre like me, trying to get the very best sound possible - on a budget - youll get way more then youre paying for with these BR03s.

I’ve always been a music fan….But, I just recently began the journey of building a home system. After months of research and educating myself, I chose the Triangle Borea BR03. I was looking at Klipsch, Polk, Dali and Paradigm. I chose these for the following reasons: Size of my listening room Front Bass Port Price Reviews And my gut. Lol Man, I am super glad I pulled the trigger on these. After a 5 hour break-in playlist, these are by far the best sounding, wide-range listening speakers I’ve ever heard. They are being pushed by a Denon AVR760H.

I was recently in the market for a speaker in the $500-700 range, and glad I finally settled on these after seeing some rave reviews for them. I auditioned the Klipsch RP600M, the KEF Q350, the ELAC Debut Reference DBR62, and these. My gear: U-turn Orbit with Nagaoka MP-110, run through a PS Audio Sprout100. I primarily listen to vinyl. Klipsch: I guess Im not a fan of the Klipsch horn sound, because despite all the fantastic reviews, I almost instantly decided these werent for me. Too much treble, bass, and not enough mids. KEF: These are amazing speakers, with some of the best separation, imaging clarity, and soundstage Ive heard. I mean I was blown away by the imaging. For some reason I didnt like the tone of them, though. Too dry sounding for me, if that makes sense. Elac: I really liked these as well, especially the mids. They just sounded beautiful, very warm sounding. But they were a little boring, and with the Nagaoka already being kind of warm, it was just a little too much. The Triangles, however, do a little bit of everything. They were a little bright out of the box, but after some good break in period (I lost track of how much - maybe 5-10 hours?) they just come to life. Imaging and soundstage is not quite as good as the KEF, but oh man, the tone. These things sound beautiful. Listening to some Grateful Dead shows, and I just cant stop grinning at how good the guitars sound. Very life-like. Theyve also made me realize how much better some of my records are than others, because I can now hear the difference! These speakers continue to impress me more every day. Be sure to give these plenty of room from back walls, because even though theyre front ported, they will sound stifled if you place them up against a wall. Also try and get at least six feet between the two speakers for the best effect. Lastly, although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think these are very attractive speakers (I got the oak finish with white face). The gray tweed grilles look very cool, so much so that I keep them on unless doing some critical listening. Enjoy!!

Las bocinas son de excelente calidad y fidelidad, se oyen muy bien en el Nad C316bee v2

Evaluated Triangle BR03’s against KEF Q150’s, used ELAC Uni-fi slim 5. Each speaker had its strengths and weaknesses - to me, the BR03’s had the most balanced and well-rounded sound. Since I was pairing the speakers with an inexpensive class D, integrated amp, I was concerned that the Aiyima T9 could not drive the ELAC. The Triangles are simple to drive and sounded surprisingly transparent and clear without the sharpness, treble forwardness of other speakers. Additionally, they make even poor recordings sound compelling. Highly recommend.

I bought the Triangle BR03s from another site which sell these at a big discount pretty regularly hoping to feed my newly found craze for budget audiophile gear. Prior to this, I had been largely content with my DefTech SM 450s and SM 55 in my home theater setup. Recently, I had starting upgrading my home theater system piecemeal with Polk LSiM 702 surrounds, Klipsch RP-280FA for Fronts, 450C for Center, R-41M for middle heights as they became available on sale and finally 2 x SVS PB-1000 Pros for subs. I then started looking for something hi-fi for my office den for listening to stereo music when I came across these as highly recommend and bought this. They definitely deserve the high praise in terms of fidelity, but I often found the sound too thin and fatiguing with different amps, the best of which I have is the 100w Class A/B Dayton Audio HTA100BT tube amp which already was toning the speaker down. I had originally been a bit disappointed with the Polk LSiM 702 as I barely had any juice on my Denon X3200W to drive them, but they started to shine really well as I got better external amps to drive them and they turned out to be just as high fidelity as the BR03 but without the fatigue and a punchier bass. I soon swapped my BR03 with the Polks with the former now relegated to surround duty. Given my experience above, I would say that if you are looking for non-fatiguing high fidelity speakers for smallish areas, I would definitely recommend going with the Polk Reserve series (R200 in particular as the successor to the LSiM series) and you should not be disappointed regardless of the room size. I say this as someone who absolutely loves the Klipshs brightness and clarity for movies, but not for music.
