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

Way better than I expected at this price. They sound better than my $2000.00 Martin Login Motion 40,s

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.

Received these 4ohm speakers today. Mated with a Krell s300i stereo amplifier with 300 watts driving each speaker. These nicely built speakers sounded very good right out of the box with separation and soundstage. Bass should be just fine for most. Itll be interesting to hear after 100 hours or so. Im impressed.

First, they sound terrific. I have them connected to a Cambridge CXA60, and this is a great combination. I tried them with other budget receivers--Onkyo A-9110, NAD C 316BEE--they all sound good, but the CXA60 is a really great complement. I realize the CXA60 is hard to find now, but get something comparable--one good step up from the entry level, and you will have a system that you could be happy with for many years. Everything sounds good--all different kinds of music, though female vocals really shine. They have a sense of scale that is unusual at this price level--the music immerses you in lovely sound. Not bad at all in critical listening mode, though not the equal of pricier speakers like the KEF LS50s. If you can just want to enjoy the music, this is really easy to do with these speakers. Sound profile: the most prominent qualities are a highly addictive, in-your-face midrange and wide, airy soundstage. Fortunately, the treble is well-balanced, so no fatigue. The bass is ok; I think a subwoofer is a good addition. Clarity is good, imaging is good, soundstage is excellent. There are some excellent competitors in the $500-ish price range, something good for every taste--these BR03s are flat out good for kickin back and enjoying music. Not a transformative audiophile experience, just a lot of fun. A few comparative listening experiences: 1) Melody Gardots Baby Im a Fool is simply stunning on the BR03-CXA combo, outdueling KEF LS50-Musical Fidelity M2si with a lighter-than-air yet massive soundstage; 2) Big Stars Thirteen is satisfying but the LS50-M2si wins here with greater density in the sound--the thinner sound (some might call it airiness) of the BR03s suffer by comparison, and the precise imaging of the LS50s get lost in the BR03s, where Alex Chilton does not always feel dead-center; 3) Post Malones Circles wins on the LS50-M2si on style points: both are punchy and infective but the LS50-M2si team combines it all together with a more organic feel, but its close, especially with the wider and airier soundstage of the BR03-CXA setup; 4) Alicia de Larrocha playing Albenizs Iberia, El Puerto wins on the LS50-M2si with better resolution of the dense chords and better precision in the piano transients despite the bigger soundstage of the BR03-CXA60 setup; 5) Rafael Kubelik & the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra playing Mahlers Symphony #1, 2nd movement again wins on the LS50-M2si, and this time, its not close, as the BR03-CXA60 just sounds off--the instruments lack the real quality of strings and woodwinds; the sound is nice but not realistic. Summary: The BR03s are a lot of fun, and the price is affordable. Theyre less accurate and lack the weight and density of sound in comparison to more expensive speakers, such as the KEF LS50s, but they have a fantastic soundstage and airiness for the price. Female vocals are especially strong with these speakers.

This is not an expert review, but these speaker are really good. I started with a little 10 watt tube amp and these speakers sound great. They have a nice sound stage with a little toe in. Real nice mid and treble without being harsh. Bass for me is a little light but that could be my listening environment and low power amp, rather than the speakers(and the are book shelves). Right now I am only able to stream the music, and am excited to get the chance to listen with a larger amp using CDs and vinyl

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.

Very good

Triangle Borea 03 speakers are excellent mid-range speakers with a wide dynamic range that can handle a wide variety of music and give lively and crisp sound. The bases are not as deep and rich as a Klipsch or KEF, but they are much cheaper and an all around good choice for small speaker set. Too bad Amazon damaged one of them in transit. I dont dare to return them for exchange because I will have to wait another 4 days (Prime 2 day delivery now takes 4) and perhaps those would be even more damaged. Amazon cannot deliver anything heavier than 20 lbs without killing it.

Well I first got Paradigm SE Atom, then to Klispch 600m, to JBL Stage 190, to Jbl studio 530. I think I have something I can live with. It is is small room 10 x 11. The Bro 3 have a balanced sound, great vocals, great bass and clear sounding. Im powering them thew yamaha intergrated amp s801. 100 watts per channel @ 8 ohms. And something happened, when I was playing at a pretty high listening level, I felt this cool breeze come over me. It was refreshing he he. Well those two front base ports were pumping out cool air that I could feel at 6 feet away. Better I not go to 3/4 volume it might knock me out of my chair (a little exaggeration here). I now prefer front ported speakers over rear ports. Im thinking if they sound this good now, what more lovely they will sound after 40 hours or so break in! I wish they would insrease the whoofer to 7 inch in larger speaker. 7 is Gods favorite number, I once has ADS 710s and they were a favorite speaker for me in the 70s and 80s.

I purchased these speakers based on a review in a national publication. I think theyre absolutely incredible! I listen mostly to jazz and 60s rock. With these speakers, I hear details on many recordings that Ive never noticed before. I am playing CDs, Apple lossless streaming and Vinyl through these speakers. I use a Dragonfly audioquest black for the streaming. My amp is a Cambridge Audio AXA35--nothing fancy, but it certainly gets the job done! I have never, repeat never, heard speakers at this price point sound so good. Highly recommended.
