In this Triangle BR02 Bookshelf Speakers Review, we delve into the most compact marvel of the Borea range. Perfect for rooms up to 20 m², the BR02 is an ideal entry point to serious HiFi, boasting a 25 mm EFS silk dome tweeter and a 13 cm natural cellulose mid-woofer. From first listen, you’ll discover an immersive soundstage, articulate voice reproduction and surprising low-end extension for a speaker under 5 kg.
The BR02 cabinet features gently curved side panels and a rigid MDF construction to minimise resonance. Available in Black Ash, Walnut, White and Light Oak, the finish is exquisite and complements any décor. A rear-firing bass reflex port is tuned to deliver tight bass without port noise. Magnetic grilles attach seamlessly, preserving the speaker’s clean lines.
At the heart of the BR02 is Triangle’s EFS (Elliptic Flat Surround) tweeter, paired with a woven silk dome that offers smooth, extended highs to 22 kHz. The 13 cm mid/woofer utilises a natural-cellulose pulp membrane for neutral tonal balance and rapid transient response. A two-way crossover at 2.5 kHz ensures phase coherence and precise imaging across the range.
The silk dome tweeter delivers air and detail without harshness. Cymbal crashes sparkle and acoustic guitars shimmer with natural articulation. The EFS design controls dispersion, creating a broad sweet spot.
Vocals and instruments are rendered with lifelike warmth and body. The BR02’s cellulose membrane preserves the integrity of complex harmonics—hear every breath in a vocal performance.
Despite its compact footprint, the BR02 reaches down to 51 Hz with authority. The rear bass-reflex port provides impact and definition, making basslines punchy without boominess.
Experience a wide, three-dimensional soundstage. Instrument placement is precise, and the sense of layering draws you into the music’s core. Whether it’s orchestral recordings or modern jazz, the BR02 paints a convincing sonic picture.
The BR02 thrives on dedicated stands (S01/S02) but is equally at home on a shelf or AV cabinet. With an 8 Ω impedance and 89 dB sensitivity, it pairs effortlessly with 15–100 W amplifiers. For home theatre, the BR02 excels as surround or Atmos channels, blending seamlessly with larger Borea models and the Tales 340 subwoofer.
If you’re seeking an affordable yet refined entry into hi-fi, the BR02 delivers. It suits small to medium spaces, second systems for studies or bedrooms, and even compact home cinema builds. Audiophiles on a budget will appreciate its high-end pedigree without the premium price tag.
