> 24 hourI have only had these for less that two weeks. I suspect they will continue to improve but sound good out of the box. I am using these with ancient equipment I purchased in the 1980s (NAD amp, Rotel CD). Have yet to connect my cheap Audio Technica turntable (my B&O unit from the 80s is dead, I fear). overall sound response is good. Obviously, there are times the bass could use some help. Really nice voice reproduction. Am listening to some classical piano currently and it sounds great. They create a nice sound stage, even when sitting off to the side. Listening to various CDs of various genres, there are definitely differences in how things sound. I suspect this is due to the limitations of my ancient equipment. For example old Steely Dan and Stevie Wonder CDs sound muted when compared to Pixies and Gorillaz. I didnt notice things like this with my old (80s) vintage speakers, which were floor standing with a substantial footprint (prophile3+). Dont know if that is difference in recording or mastering or that these are just better due to modern engineering. That said, it will be fun to keep listening and figure out.

> 24 hourSound is amazing. Would highly recommend these. I have had other brands Klipsch and Paradigm. For the money these can’t be beat.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hoursaw these in the Wirecutter column. they bring out sound my Klipsch bookshelf speakers didn’t. the depth of the cabinets seems to increase the bass. I don’t even bother with a subwoofer now. emailed Triangle about running 100W per channel through these & they assured me no worries. VERY PLEASED.

> 24 hourI was worried when I first got these that I would need a subwoofer, but with proper placement you dont need a thing! Just hook these bad boys up to your amplifier, sit in the middle of them and enjoy! Incredible sound staging for these size speakers, great detail and not lacking anywhere that I can find! They also look fantastic without the grilles on! Well worth your money if you want something sleek looking and with a fantastic audio quality. Tested on multiple amps and all ranges of volumes, they have yet to fail me in any way. If youre unsure, try them out. Return them if you dont like them, but Im sure you wont! Whether or not you believe burn in ( I dont ) I found that with multiple listening sessions on these guys gave my ears plenty of time to adjust to the treble forward sound. These are extremely detailed and work well with all types of music, from classic to modern rap, these handle it all with ease all while looking great!

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourThese speakers sound quite good. Compared to my 50 year old Wharfdales, it takes quite a bit more oomph from the amplifier to drive them. Thats my only complaint, really. The bass is good (its a bookshelf, folks), maybe a little boomy in the low end. It depends on the material. I am happy with my purchase.

> 24 hourThis 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

> 24 hourThe 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.
