At this level, the speaker market is a competitive arena and a potentially intimidating place to be for new entrants. Many of the usual suspects, including B&W, KEF and Mission have plenty of five-star speakers to offer, with a select few of them even having a What Hi-Fi? Award to their names.
So, it’s going to take a special pair of speakers to stand out from the crowd. A pair of speakers exactly like the Triangle Borea BR03 standmounters.
Preferred location As with any pair of new speakers, it pays to spend some time getting to know the Triangle Borea BR03s and their preference for placement. Triangle recommends a minimum of 2m between speakers and also between them and your listening position. It also suggests placing them at least 40cm away from a back wall and 50cm from a side wall.
And we have to agree. Even though they’re front-ported, don’t be tempted to put these Triangles right up against a wall. They will certainly do a job, but the overall balance and stereo imaging suffer. However, given some room to breathe and a little toe-in to shore things up, the Borea BR03s are able to perform at their very best.
The Triangle Borea BR03s deliver a huge sense of scale – significantly larger than rivals such as the formidable Bowers & Wilkins 607s. They can also boast impressive separation and precision.
