I won these exact units from Zeos' yard sale and I am in love with them! They are smooth and beautiful. I'm using them on stands next to my desk and they work perfectly with this setup. Powered by a marantz pm6005 with a mobo optical input from my pc. Plenty of power and I never need to go above 40% volume. Decent bass and amazing highs, never fatuiging. Couldn't be happier! Thanks Zeos!
FINALLY!! SPEAKERS! Thank you!!
My BR02's just arrived, they are now my computer speakers in a very near-field application. I bought them based on this review, and Z's reviews on the other Triangles. They are sensational and magical, and that doesn't even consider the price point. If you are on the fence on these, you won't regret it for one second!
Hi jon, how do you find them after using them few month? I want to sue them for desk top too...is it boomy having the port on back? How long was your break in time?
11:25 - "A huge load on those soft dome tweeters"
Illuminati Confirmed.
Enough with done tweeters. Back to ribbon, or better say air motion transformer (AMT). I highly, HIGHLY, recommend you buy, listen, review and keep a pair of HEDD monitors. You just gotta try them. I had the Adam T7V + T10S (so 2.1), tryed the Adam A7X, then tryed the HEDD type 07 and these bad bad boys are the shit. They don't need any sub, it even exceeds the T10s if you crank it up. They are so clean and the AMT is like the next level of Adam's X-ART. So please, i encourage you to think about reviewing type 07, or at least type 05, if not type 20, for all those watching. Thank you!!!
You should review the edifier p17s. They are only 20 watts but they sound amazing for the price of them.
@Z Reviews As somebody whose been subscribed for quite a while, I think you reviewing higher priced speakers is great as long as you still cover gear that fits every budget. Spending time listening to gear that's more than you can afford is a chance to identify what you feel is your idea of perfection, and then figuring out what gear that is in your budget comes closest to it!
Surprised you didn't talk about the JBL 530s at all when it comes to competition.
Ended up buying these for 300 euros. Thanks for the review and recommendation Zeos!
ccmvad I really want to buy them. What do you listen to? Your profile pic makes me want to listen to that Album again.
Great speakers! Hope to see soon your review of the Elac Debut Reference!
I own Triangle Plaisir ZETA small bookshelves. The Zeta are fantastic and the Boreas should be significantly better. My experience, is that the Kef Q series may be a bit more revealing but Triangle Zetas more musical, less beamy, preferred by me. The Boreas should be a significant step up from the Zetas, as well as the Kefs. I prefer the budget Triangle models to Focal budget, more natural and focused. But I have yet to find any speaker that can outright beat my Focal 807Ws, now discontinued. If I didn't have these Focals, I would definitely have the Boreas in my top pick for under a grand speakers. Note the Kef LS50s sell for under a grand during the holidays but they wouldn't be my choice to replace the Focals. This only applies to the W drivers and pre-Poron Tweeter. I don't care as much for the V series drivers and have not heard the flax or slate versions.
The French make great speakers. I'm thinking the Boreas are probably the speaker to beat at even double the US price. More expensive speakers "may" be more refined, more detailed and better imaging, low end, etc., but may also still not beat them in all categories. Boreas are reportedly fun to listen to and can play all kinds of music. Triangle Boreas, the new budget king which may be all you ever need in a speaker...unless you have an unlimited budget. The Boreas are known to play well with less expensive gear as well but will shine with better quality amps, sources.
Fan of Focals, Triangles, less so Kefs, Wharfedales or B&Ws. I do like Quads though.
Would love to hear one someday. Note, these paper drivers aren't expected to hold up as well in humid, damp conditions as other driver material over the long term.
Awesome review. if using these just for Bluetooth, streaming via Android, do I simply just pair with a smsl da8s?
Or Do I need to buy more hardware such as a DAC and another pre-amp?
Also, I'll just add here the upcoming klipsch the fives might turn out to be a good alternative...both in sound and in the looks department.
Fidelity tested the BR03 not long ago, he liked those a lot.
BTW in France the BR02 cost 300euros which is about 330usd and the BR03 400euros which is 450usd, super affordable.
That is absurd lol
I think this is why I'm gonna go for them (being based London), the klipsh 600m are like £650 over here. Triangles seem like better value..
Oh the LRS review is highly anticipated!!
looking forward to your upcoming review of the klipsch heresy & those martin logans !
Really interested in the Esprit EZ review coming up. I've got them on my shortlist along with the Buchardt S400. Can only pick one of them!
Hey Zeos! I love my BR02’s! Thanks for the recommendation!
What would you suggest as an upgrade to them?
We need a review on the BR03s!!!
I’m gonna use these as surround speakers but I’m thinking about mounting on the wall with a wall mount bracket but I’m wondering if that’ll work with a rear port?
how do BR 08 compare with other well known brands like Kef q950, Klipsch 8000 or Polk S60? I think of buying a 5.1 set ( Borea BR 08, 02(are they goo for surrounds????) and BRC1. Im between this set and polk s60 series. What do you think?
I've had the Borea BR03 for ~ 3 weeks now and I agree with most of your assessments. These are excellent speakers. Thank you for your review
The Everyday Audiophile better than bnw 606?
Prahlad NatusVincere Kunalan I haven’t heard the B & W 606 speakers. I had the KEF Q150, Polk Audio LSiM703, and ELAC Debut Reference DBR62 while evaluating the Borea BR03 and I chose to keep the Triangle Borea BR03 over the other speakers.
The question is do they work as Dipol Rear speakers ? Since they get sold in Set along with the Center and you can choose between the Front 07, 08 or 09
Worried I should go for real Dipols instead, but then I would have to mix brands and that could cause inconsistencys.
Z Reviews how do these Br02 perform compared to the Br03? Is there a substantial difference to justify the size and price increase?
Hi. Any suggestions on how will these sound with the PS Audio Sprout 100?
Z you never finished talking about them for home theater use. How do they sound? I'm debating getting a set with the center or getting the Elac bdr62.
Yeee boi! Martin logans! They have budget friendly options of those too btw. Those big ones sound really awesome.
The Borea BR03 are even sweeter, with the dual front ports.Thank you Z.
I’m gonna buy on walnut, love the style but maybe I will buy the bigger ones like bro8 or if they bring to US the bro9
Hey Zeos, did you have the chance to check out the Astell & Kern ACRO L1000 already? i love the volume knob on it :)
BR03 or Q acoustics 3030i. 6.5" showdown.
Also would be nice to see how they compare vs Klipsch RP-160m on a desk which work really well. Rear ported an all.
Already tried Triangle Titus EZ but they are to small for a desktop for me, want more oumph. (Titus EZ are quite often on sale for around 450-500$ in Sweden)
Hey Z amazing video as always. ?
Will the Crown 1002 sound the same as the 2502 but with less power.
Doesn’t the snared sound soggy through the speakers I have them and the transients don’t sound right maybe they need break in?
I had my eye on a pair of BR02 or 03 for my vinyl listening corner quite some time now... guess they've gone from a maybe to a hell yes now, specially after hearing the demo.
I'm looking to do the same. Did you buy them? Cheers.
@@Ididntaskforahandleyoutube Not quite, I ended up with a pair of BR03 due to availability and don't regret the purchase at all.
Br03 🔊🎶👍
How will the Q acoustics brand compare to this? 3010/20i's
Thanks for the review, bro. When they're on Amazon, I'll take a hard look at them.
I bought my first set of Triangles in 2003 and had to order them from a dealer then. It would be nice if they had better distribution over here in the states but I wouldn't hold your breath lol. I purchased the Bro3's from Adorama and love em. They're livelier like the Klipsch rp160's or 600m's but are more refined by far. They won't play rock concert levels like the Klipsch will though. They come close but the Klipsch have more kick when played loud. The Borea Bro3's are wine - Klipsch to 160's are the beer
Shane Lindsay Which one would you choose for HipHop?
Looking forward to the Martin Logan review.
Triangle borea br02 or q acoustics 3020i?
Subscribed dude. What a good time.
these might be my next pair of speakers. SVS Ultra's are a lot more but do you actually prefer these over the Ultras?
How did these compare to edifier s3000s？ I know they are totally different but can only get one pair...
How do they compare to the Elac equivalent speaker?
Adam Audio T5V OR Triangle br02? My listening distance is about 4ft. I'm looking for a forgiving and relaxed sound.
Is there another place to see the sound demo since TH-cam took it down?
Why are the speakers positioned higher than the height of his ears (when sitting)?
I haven't seen the Martin Logans yet since I've been out of the loop. What's up with them?
Nice gear! Nice guns! I like the way you think.
Listened to the sound demo before watching the review and you said it at 11:00 .. these things to me" sit right in the pocket with anything going through them.. So out comes my old Carver MT 200 again.. thought about the Klipsch 600's for a while but I'll take these for what they don't do over those.
Theseee, Swans m200 or Klipsch R15-pm?
21:57
"I don't like Weird Al."
*Zeos presses ban button*
"I LOVE Weird- no wait!"
Can those work well with one small crown amp?
Now I want to know Bro2 vs Bro3 for a desk? Bro3's are front ported...

Because I hate ads and therefore don't force midroll or starter ads. Just cards and sidebar or annotation ads.

@@ZReviews Which do you prefer?
anon mouse I'm late to answer but he didn't answer so I'll give my own opinion:
I think the Patreon is easier for you to look at and pay and shit and is generally a larger platform and patreon is cool
@@ZReviews kudos to you
9:26 Is there a list of all 11 of the speakers on the wall?
Have you ever considered reviewing magnepan speakers?
I just purchased a set of these with a bluesound powernode 2i and paired with an older rel t3. Waiting for it to all arrive! It is going in the livingroom.
0BURNT0TOAST0 Hope you managed to get your gear in the current difficult situation. Please kindly let us know what you think of your new combo. It should be a great synergy
Hey guys, so I've had it for about a month now, and I feel the sound from the triangles is just as Z describes. I am a BIG fan, I have been searching for a system for my living room that has the ability to blend into the background but still sound great. I picked them up in white, the grill is light grey. System sounds great for what it is! It's not a huge rock system that rocks the house, but sounds great at low to mid volume levels. There is a softness to the sound, but it is also highly detailed at the same time. The amplifier is EASY to setup. It's not the most powerful, but they pair well. IMO when they are paired with a small REL subwoofer it makes the system complete. I find myself listening to more music now than ever before, and even more than my dedicated hifi rig.
0BURNT0TOAST0 Hey, thanks a lot for your views on your new system. Good combinations do that, they make you listen longer and longer. Worth pulling the trigger!
You sold me on these!
So was into getting the KEFQ100 (350) or Jamo C93II (400) ... but the Borea BR03 are goin now for 400€ p.pair .... hm... :D Damn you Zeos. And yeah Triangle are making amazing stuff it seems. Lucky me its easy to get them here in Austria.
What do I set these up with?
Hi pees what remote is he using with his pc ?
How about the scale and the soundstage if the same like Br 03. Thanks a lot for a and b test in future.
what's the song at very beginning? I could've shazam it's long enough.
Turin Brakes - Rain City
@@ZReviews thanks
Now you have done France can we go to Italy please and review chario in my humble opinion beautiful speakers . Handmade in Italy with real wood cabinets the bass they can achieve from small bookshelf speakers is stunning
When have you never flipped the speaker upside down?, 🤔 Even the close sound stage you didn’t flip them. These must be really good speakers then.
Already picked up a pair a few weeks ago ;) but mine are the 03 version
These or the BR03 for desktop use?
Antal Audio Group is the USA distributor for Triangle. According to their website, there is a dealer in Allentown (BEK Hifi).
Can anyone speak on these versus the JBL studio 530/570?
I am looking for Bookshelf for my NAD d 3045 amplifier.
On paper the br02 they look rather suitable
Hey Z, there is a distributor in Philly. Chestnut Hill Audio.
7:14 Holy F...k! lol 20:33 I just want to hug these speakers. Spot on. They beat KEFs ....yes! Yes, yes ....yes!
I got to hear these personally in Z's living room and I have to say I was impressed. I remember playing Pink Floyd's song Money listening to the clarity and image it blew me away. Skipping a few trucks I started to play run the jewels don't remember exactly what song but I remember I had low in. The reason for that was to see if the port on the back made any noise surprisingly it hardly made any at all for as hard as we were pushing them.
That moment when you realize that over a year later, not a single person gave a fk about your Zs living room flex.
2 years later, I was impressed with the flex
Dude I love that you just played some ELO on those speakers. Awesome.
ss-pree= spirit :) cheers Id love to know the dif between these and the new Elac Debut Reference
I'm really torn on whether to get these or the BR03s. I have a medium sized bedroom. The reviews on BR03 are hard to ignore. Worried they may be too big.. Any advice?
Aidan Kelly Haven’t heard them myself, but the BR03 just has lower and a little harder hitting bass from all the comparisons I’ve seen, but the bass on the BR02 definitely isn’t thin or anything. If space is a constraint, I’d just get the BR02 and not look back.
@@justsaying993 Yep I went for the BR02s in the end.
@@kelzer1 And do you love 'em as much as Zeos? Pretty sure he wants them to have his babies based on this review, so ...
how would this compare to klipsch rp600m or elac ub5?
That'd be an interesting comparison
Better bass than the Klipsch and and better highs, if you were me. Warmer mids than the ub5.
These look so good.
I wonder what these sound like vs the XTZ Sound Spirit 4's... Same price
Zeos, you should try to get some Magnapans or Tektons. They offer speakers in the five to $600 price range, but are a completely different design paradigm than these.
Also, if you want the best Chicago style pizza while you’re there you have to go to Giradono’s! It is amazing!
$500-$600 maggies? Show me where please
@@emmanuelferguson Checkout the Magnepan LRS.
@@emmanuelferguson
$650 with the LRS.
One of the best values under $1k together with Caintuck Audio's offerings.
Just bought a pair of BRO3 for $414 with added Triangle stands for a total of $470 here in Sweden. Can't wait to receive them👏🏻😍
Är du nöjd med högtalarna? :)
@@lundejonas Absolut, riktigt jäkla nöjd och jag kör i vanliga fall med mina SVS Ultra Tower (Hemmabio). För musik lyssnar jag hellre på BR03 :D.
@@AJtheSwede Härligt! Vart ett par BR02 för mig! Riktigt nöjd!
Oh my god, these are better than the KEFs? Damn, watching this just mixed up my speaker buying plans big time, lol. I just wish I could audition both...
Buy them both and return the lesser?
i would recommend auditioning Focals budget line up as well because there another french brand.
Damn it Z, your causing me to go broke.
I got the JBL 530s and the Jamo c93-2
White. They are above average but I got both at half cost do to patients.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
has anyone examined the internals, crossovers etc.?
Hey Z I remember you weren't a fan of the BR03's - too bright - but you loved these. Do they sound different? Are the BR02's not as bright compared to the BR03's?
From user comments I've read, yes.
Nice white Kriss Vector on the wall
These or the HTD Series 3 for home theater only?
Following
Love these speakers but, while it may put them in competition with other worthy speakers in that price range, I think the extra $100 for the BR-03 is worth it.
Phins room shape/size is more of a consideration possibly
They do a better speaker ? then a 8 - 12 " driver set would be better
I would like your opinion on the BR03.
He recently reviewed them. Not sure it was a fair shake considering the new basement listening room. But he’s got a few vids up with a sound demo as well
@@billycaves7194 Yes, I saw the review. He wasn't impressed.
So i can get them for 319€. Should i cop them?
Has anyone auditioned or have any experience with the Triangle Titus ? How would they differ given the tweeters, do Titus is more airy/ bright on the highs ? Also anyone got any experience with M Audio Silver 100 ? Im vexed up between this 3 speakers for 50%music 50%movies HT. Its so hard.. this Triangles all i can say they are so fast, precise, and those upper/ lower mids are pure sex, i think they would do better for movies and music then Silver 100 but i cant get a grip on how do Silver 100 really feel like, sound signature wise.
This vs Klipsch RP500M? I might have made a mistake in buying...
JBL L100 Classic?
song at 19.06 ?
Let's chage the angle, oh ...yes!😛
All right damn it I'm going to buy the Bro 3 you made me do it I'm giving up on my elac ub5 I hope I don't regret it🤔✌
Hello :) did you buy the triangle BOREA BR03 ? how do they compare to the Elac ?
Thank tou :)
@@fraula1 sorry to say I never got around to buying those triangles, I just love the elac speakers just couldn't do it😀🤔
@@frederickfranchi6408 no problem. I can believe the Elac UB51 being wonderful speakers 😉
Now all Triangle needs is for joe n tell to review the bro and they will have hit for the youtube grand slam.
he didnt like them at all
so now the question is this or LS50's for desktop?
Thor Wolf 22:52
song at 14:43?
Zeos, ELAC Debut 2.0 6.5's should be in this price ®ange group.
Are these better than q acoustics ? Like 3020 ?
I've not heard the Triangles but I have heard the 3020's. They have amazing build quality, very nice and solid. I would describe the sound as very accurate, esp. for the price point ... but ultimately I found them a bit boring to listen to. If you want a relatively 'flat' experience, I would say they're good for that. I replaced them with ML LX16's (aka Motion 15's) when they were being blown out for cheap earlier this year ... Granted at regular prices, they're considerably more expensive than 3020's, but I much prefer the Logan's, personally. Thinking of getting the Bro-3's though, since seemingly everyone is singing their praises.
In Germany some triangles are on amazon
What about their ln01a's? Have you heard much about those?
Which are better: Elac Debut 2.0 6.2 or Triangle BR03?
Triangle BR03. Triangle BR02, even better.
Review KEF Q150s please i need to feel good about my purchase
The Bro3's are way brighter than the Q150s. KEF Q150's are warmer sounding in my experience. They both have big soundstages
@@MrWslindsay Well i guess thats good, I dont like very bright speakers and I'm also using them on a desk and well i feel like i benefit from coaxial a lot in that way, also got them on discount for only $300 so would never actually regret my purchase
@@Spicy_Ignite think I would enjoy the KEF's on a desk more for long periods of listening, not to say the Triangles are rough...they are very refined. I just would want to have my face in them constantly. It's all personal preference. Your choice is great
Bro has half naked cartoon toys all around his room.
