About this deal

Review Equipment: Auralic G1 streamer, Leema Libra DAC, Merrill Thor amps, Way, Tellurium Q, and Atlas cables. Value For Money: Triangle has done a great job at creating a speaker with great mass-market appeal. Its three-way design allocates a transducer to each frequency range for a precise vocal reproduction and depth at low frequency, whilst maintaining a wide soundstage. Triangle Borea BR09 is a front-firing port speaker , which gives you more flexibility compared to rear firing speakers when you need to place it close against a wall or other surfaces.

Soundstaging was very good too. Tchaikovsky's Symphony 1 in G Minor, op.13, and Dreams of a Winter Journey (Allegro tranquillo) played by the Berliner Philharmoniker with Herbert von Karajan at the helm, was an atmospheric joy. I was also impressed by the explosive dynamics. The passage starts with a soft, almost enchanting melody on bassoon and flute, which could have you increasing the volume as it's so delicate. However, as the strings start to swirl and a second melody is introduced, you soon find yourself amidst a vast brass fanfare. That escalation takes less than two minutes, and the BR08 kept up with every step change. The DVAS system considerably reduces the vibration of the speaker and reinforces the notion of neutrality and clarity when listening. It results in a better listening experience with no coloration or structure noise.

Triangle Borea BR09 Speakers (Pair)

The twin-pronged diffuser appears to be pinching the silk dome, but look a bit closer and it’s just hovering over – it’s there to help reduce the directivity and improve the dispersion of high frequencies. Beneath the mid-bass driver sits a pair of bass reflex ports. So, overall I really enjoyed the Boreas and think that if you want a good pair of speakers to perhaps put into a home cinema then these are a good value, great sounding choice with the benefit of doing two-channel really well.

The dome is placed inside the partial horn loading, reducing reflections and allowing a clear reproduction of the high frequencies. This transducer is powered by a neodymium motor generating high magnetic power in a compact size. It is coupled to a cooling system, ensuring a better power handling.

The Borea BR08 deliver a thrill ride with appropriate material. We play Nirvana’s Nevermind and they sound right at home: they punch hard, combining high levels of detail with an enviable ability to tie it all together to produce a cohesive and musical whole. Those twin bass drivers dig deep but, pleasingly, remain agile and articulate too. The Triangle Borea BR09 creates an expansive and three-dimensional soundstage, with excellent width, depth, and height. The precise imaging allows for accurate placement of instruments and vocals within the soundstage, providing а true-to-life and immersive listening experience. The speakers disappear in the room, giving you the impression of being at a live performance. If I had to have a down side, I would say that the light oak I chose is not quite as natural looking as my monitor audio silver 100's, and with grills removed they are quite busy to look at, HOWEVER, this is more to do with my very woody interiors then it is to do with anything particularly to do with the design.
