I bought these speakers and I'm really happy with them. I have it matched with an SMSL AD18 amp and love the sound it produces. These are my first proper pair of speakers so hard to compare it against others. Bass for me is pretty low in my small living room but I think you are correct in that it could be a little faster. They look fantastic too.
Great review! I like the level of detail and how it isn't just about the technical stuff but also how immersive it makes the music experience. We all love a bit of Britney!
Great review ! I love those speakers too. i bought 2 pairs :) One for my desktop and one for my bedroom. If you're handy you can upgrade : the cap in tweeter for a jantzen superior z cap and the one on the woofer with a jantzen cross cap. You ditch all the sandcast resistors for mills ones and the speakers Puch well above its weight ! And the best it keeps the same philosophy of sound. You gain clarity without loosing it's charm the tone. And if you want the kick and amazing texture in bass you change the internal wire for the atohm z mini in the woofer and a good 1mm2 copper coded with silver on the twweter. You solder the wires directly on the drivers and the biding post. The texture after that is out of this world. You'll still need a sub for the low low but you'll have something really amazing. Finally if you want to take the voices and textures to the limit, you change the coils for 14 gage air core. You have amazing amplifiers you'll feel it. If a little diy project is possible for you, i have the values for the coils.
Hi Yannick930 - some top information here! I haven’t ever tried DIY speaker upgrades, but this sounds like a fun and rewarding project! Thank you for all the excellent information, lots of people may find this really helpful! 👍
@@pierrefornallaz364 wrong ! Any speaker under 2000 won't have that quality components inside and even well after 2000. Some special speakers are qualified for upgrades due to the good drivers and signature sound. Here it's the case.
There are not enough reviews on the BR02. Just ordered a pair on a whim - open box deal on Amazon. I'll be pairing with my REL Tzero mk3 for my desktop setup.
These speakers do a number of things wrong, but thay sound so right and enjoyable. Does anybody question their 89db efficiency level. I thought my myryad 150w duel mono would drive them easier. What do you think?
I suspect their efficiency is overcooked, most manufacturers do that! I found they open up after 50 hours, the surrounds soften a fair bit. You should have more than enough to blast them with the mono rig - enjoy! 👍
Thanks for this video , I have a Hegel h 95 and I I’m looking for a pair of speakers not to big, and I listen to many speakers but the triangle sound it better to me . I like to watch videos on TH-cam the problem is the everybody has a different opinion , this video help me see what I was felling when I listen to them thanks , and I like your dog .
@@SmallRoomAudio I think there is a HUGE opportunity on TH-cam for nearfield reviews. I encourage you to review the ELAC Debut 5.2s (unbeatable for the price), KEF Q150s and the ELAC Debut Reference DBR62 speakers.
Cool! All three of those are top picks! I’ve got a Dynaudio shoot-out between the Evoke 20 and Special 40 coming up in the next few weeks, I’ll be sure to give commentary on nearfield usage and then once I’ve done a bit of eBaying, look at those three options you picked out!
OK, tonality is good...how is instrument separation and depth of the stage. My Zetas do a nice job of music but lacks a bit of aire in the highs. So instead of delicate, wispy highs, the highs are there but just matter of fact, hopefully that clarifies it? I am looking for more a more airy top end when the music calls for it like my focals. Any thoughts?
Hi Lars, these speakers are excellent for nearfield and image beautifully. My preference is to have them 2ft out from all walls with a minimum of a 4ft triangle - The more space you can give them the better, but you can get away with 10cm from the wall and a 2ft triangle and they will still work well. Hope that helps!
Good question! It’s mainly in the bass with this speaker, the rhythmic snap isn’t quite on point, almost feeling ever so slightly behind the passage of music. It’s not awful by any means, but when compared directly to more nimble speakers you do feel a sense of slowness. Hope that helps.
Great vid. Thanks a lot. Could you please tell me if they are better suitable for vintage Technics SU 7700k, Technics SU-V 460, 5.1 Receiver Yamaha RXV 596 RDS or Stereo amp Yamaha RX 397/597? Are they comparable with Canton Karat 920? Which speaker would you prefer ? Thanks a lot for your info.
Hi Angelheart, thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately I can’t advise you on that as I don’t have direct experience with them. If you can get a demo pair in your room to try out, that’s probably the best way to really know. All the best, and enjoy the music!
well done thank you!!! it is what exactly i felt when auditioned the br03! makes me really curious abt the performance of titus ez or comete ez. however, have you tried these two? if so, how would you compare them with the br03?
Hi Oleg! The bigger the speaker the more work you have to do to make it sound good in a small room. I lay out the dimensions of my room in the ‘big speaker - small room’ feature review video of the Klipsch Cornwall 👍
This channel would be great if it wasn’t for the cringe corny sketches.. a bit of maturity will take this ch to a diff level than the corny skits that’s not even that good.
Fair enough - although the recent videos don’t have any of that content. I know you love to criticise my style, as I’ve seen your other comments -but I’d like to say for the record that it was fun to make these videos at the time, they were a great way to get through Covid lockdown with a smile on our faces. I started the channel to be fun with no idea that it would become popular. As subs have grown it’s become more professional and we’ve made the videos better - but I won’t apologise for having fun at the time, or enjoying myself!!

Hi Aidan - top speakers for the money, definitely a great choice for your first proper pair, enjoy!
@@SmallRoomAudio Nice review too. You should cover some budget amp reviews, would be great.
Great review! I like the level of detail and how it isn't just about the technical stuff but also how immersive it makes the music experience. We all love a bit of Britney!
Thanks Steve, more to come and possibly some studio monitors down the line too!
Don't be afraid to say these best the KEF's!
really? can´t decide between kef q150 and borea br02

Does not make sense: If you change everything, you're better off buying another speaker !!!
@@pierrefornallaz364 wrong !

Was kosten diese Änderungen?
Bestimmt die Hälfte des Lautsprechers selber, lohnt sich das wirklich?
Nice review. If I may, a good mic would improve the video even more. I just ordered these, how exciting!
Thank you - and enjoy the speakers!
I have these. Also have the BW607’s and these are better....easier to listen to but agree on that the Bass could be a bit more refined

Please review more nearfield speakers. Thanks for the nice review!
Absolutely, what’s your top three picks?
@@SmallRoomAudio I think there is a HUGE opportunity on TH-cam for nearfield reviews. I encourage you to review the ELAC Debut 5.2s (unbeatable for the price), KEF Q150s and the ELAC Debut Reference DBR62 speakers.

I look forward to the Evoke 20s
Thanks for the review ...
Between this and bro3s and elac unifi ub52? Which would you choose?
Agree with the soundstage, imaging and tonality part. Paired it with a IOTAVX. Do you find it a bit “rushing” ?
Hi Vic - thanks for the comment. Can you expand a bit on ‘rushing’? Do mean the timing is a bit off?
OK, tonality is good...how is instrument separation and depth of the stage. My Zetas do a nice job of music but lacks a bit of aire in the highs. So instead of delicate, wispy highs, the highs are there but just matter of fact, hopefully that clarifies it? I am looking for more a more airy top end when the music calls for it like my focals. Any thoughts?
In a near field (desktop pc setup) how close can you place them to a wall, and what is the minimum listening distance?
Hi Lars, these speakers are excellent for nearfield and image beautifully. My preference is to have them 2ft out from all walls with a minimum of a 4ft triangle - The more space you can give them the better, but you can get away with 10cm from the wall and a 2ft triangle and they will still work well.

When you say something sounds slow- what does that mean to you?

Haven’t tried either of those speakers, but they do look very interesting, would love to audition them!
How close to the front wall can these get without sounding boomy / muddy?
They are fairly good close to a wall but half a foot minimum would be my shout, with a foot or more being preferable.
are they fitted for desktop use? they don't have to be perfect.. but they seem to fit every other aspect Im looking for
Hi onlyLeo, yes they work great on a desk too! 👍
Have you tried the Bluetooth version yet, the Triangle Bro 2 BT? Are they just as good? Thanks!
This is absolutely on my wish list! Hopefully I can get triangle to send me some.
@@SmallRoomAudio Triangle will send you a link to a supplier!
How would these compare to the ELAC Debut 5.2 speakers?
Hi John, I haven’t heard the 5.2 so unfortunately can’t answer that one.
Hello.
Which size of room do you consider as a small room ? I heard you use b&w 705 s2, they are relatively big for small room ... (?)
Thanks
Hi Oleg! The bigger the speaker the more work you have to do to make it sound good in a small room. I lay out the dimensions of my room in the ‘big speaker - small room’ feature review video of the Klipsch Cornwall 👍
Hello have you had a experience with Markaudio Cesti b bookshelf , thanks
Hi Juan! I haven’t tried those ones, but I just looked them up and it looks like an interesting design - added to the list!
Vs Polk S15?
my BR03 cost £320 , so you were done mate!
This video was made when they were first released, £320 is a great price for the BR03 though, so enjoy!
compare to 03 also

I like the cent sketches jajaj
How does these speakers compare too the edifier s3000 pro? If you have any clue
Haven’t heard the s3000 pro yet, but it would probably be a good fight!
Would be fun if you could test them and review them. You seem to have a good ear for speakers:)
Thank you 🙏 I’ll do my best, all depends on what the manufacturers are willing to send me, or what I can afford to buy!
