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

I reviewed speakers for months before my purchase. Ive had these now for two months and couldnt be more satisfied. Even though they did not have enough base for the reviewer Joe and Tell, they have more than enough for my taste. So I would guess if you are a basehead, these are not for you. I love the clarity of these speakers. I also purchased the center speaker and together they have fantastic vocal output. For someone who wants more than boom, boom, boom, from their speakers, these cannot be beaten by anything below a $1000 bucks.

Did my homework on a variety of speakers from $500 to $1K and this one received accolades from several written and video reviews. Speakers arrived 7 days before estimated delivery time (which was nice) and they are everything the reviewers said they were. Clear sound stage across all levels. My music from rock to jazz never sounded so good. Its like hearing the songs for the first time! Each instrument is sonically defined and clear where these musical nuances were not present before. I paired these with my existing JVC RX1028VBK receiver along with Polk down firing subbie that I was previously using for my home theater and it drives these speakers nicely. You cannot go wrong with these puppies. Update 2/6/22: Well over a year in and I feel an even stronger affinity for the sound from these speakers. Theyve broken in nicely and continue to provide a sublime musical experience. (Just wanted to provide this update... ; )

This is not like a monitor, meaning, it will not make a terrible recording, sound like a terrible recording. I used it to play In Rock album by Deep Purple Mk.2, and Jesus Christ, I have never heard that terribly produced album with such clarity and detail. These are ROCK AND ROLL speakers if Ive ever heard one! It destroys anything from Rock, Metal, Jazz, Blues, it is simply phenomenal with music that has instruments and very dynamic sounds being produced. Now for a review of the drivers: It is a standard two-way driver, a one inch tweeter and a 6 inch woofer, tweeter is aluminum, woofer is paper, which is a nice bonus, gives it great bass and fuller sound, top to bottom. The treble is very slightly recessed and lacks the resolution of a true monitor, but if you are looking for a fun desktop bookshelf or a nice stereo bookshelf, you wont be able to tell the difference... Actually, you would probably prefer it, like I do. I dont need the treble shouting at me and piercing me ears, instead, this speakers treble is warm and smooth and still had good resolution, its still full HD, maybe not 4k UHD like a monitor, but most people dont need that. The mids, oh boy the mids, they are pretty much perfection for this price range, you wont find much better for the price, even up to 1000, unless you find a monitor that is mid forward. These speakers are very slightly mid-forward, this really helps bring clarity, imaging and soundstage to the midrange and sound reproduction of instruments. The bass is incredible, due to the paper woofer, you will get very good low end, and clean low-mids. I just love this speaker and I think the only upgrade to it for a reasonable price is the Buchardt S300. But there is one major downside to it... Although it has great French engineering, it is very unreliable build quality due to China. One of the corners on mines, looks like it is not attached very well, exposing the wood cabinet very slightly. Its not a deal breaker, but for $550, they could have done way better. I would have paid $100 extra if it came in a nice and sturdy black gloss, which is much better material and more reliable. I may get the S300 one day, but I have a very tiny room and even now I dont get the full experience from the BR03.

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

These speakers sound good with my Hegel amp . It reminds me like the spica T-50 from the past .

Speakers sound fantastic, especially after some breaking in. Unfortunately one of my speakers had damage to the front bottom corner of the cabinet. I ordered a replacement set, and one of those is damaged as well. In order to minimize the shipping box size, these speakers are not adequately protected. Only thin pieces of styrofoam cover the top and bottom of the speakers. I now have 2 good speakers with non-matching serial numbers (as each pair shares a serial number). Awaiting instructions from seller as to how to remedy this situation.

Fabulous sound that fills the room. Great speakers.

The BRO3 by Triangle is a remarkable speaker for its size and price. I’ve ran through several of theses under $500 bookself speakers and these are best of the lot. The biggest surprise I had with a set of speakers since I picked up a set of used vintage Dynaco A-25s.

Awesome sound quality and I have the whole set of triangle for home theater and they are perfect

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.
