Introduction

In this Triangle - BR08 - Floorstanding Speakers Review, we explore how these French-designed, three-way Borea models deliver an immersive, high-fidelity experience that elevates any listening room.

Design & Build Quality

The BR08’s elegantly veneered cabinet is available in Black Ash, Walnut, White and Light Oak finishes, blending seamlessly with contemporary interiors. Weighing 21.2 kg, its sturdy MDF enclosure minimises resonance, while the magnetic grille, steel spikes and rubber tips ensure quick installation on any surface. The front-firing bass-reflex port has been optimised for airflow, reducing port noise and enhancing low-frequency extension.

Key Drivers & Acoustic Innovations

At the core of the Borea BR08 are four bespoke transducers: a 25 mm EFS silk-dome tweeter, a 16 cm natural cellulose midrange and twin 16 cm fibreglass woofers. The silk-dome tweeter delivers airy highs up to 22 kHz, while the cellulose midrange renders vocals with uncanny naturalness. The dual fibreglass woofers extend down to 40 Hz with tight control, thanks to Triangle’s DVAS* system research inherited from the Esprit Ez range. The 3-way crossover at 215 Hz and 3 500 Hz ensures seamless integration between drivers, yielding a coherent, phase-aligned soundstage.

Performance & Listening Experience

With a sensitivity of 92 dB and nominal impedance of 8 Ω (dropping to 3 Ω at low frequencies), the BR08 is compatible with a wide range of amplifiers—ideally between 75 W and 250 W per channel. In rooms from 20 m² to 40 m², the soundstage appears wide and deep, projecting instruments with pinpoint accuracy. From the percussive snap of jazz snare drums to the lush sweep of classical strings, the BR08 reveals micro-details without fatigue. Whether on a live recording or layered studio mix, the energy and dynamics are simply sensational.

Who Should Consider the BR08?

If you’re an audiophile seeking a versatile floorstanding speaker for both stereo listening and home theatre, the BR08 is a stellar choice. Ideal for mid-to-large rooms, it pairs beautifully with tube or solid-state amplification. Music enthusiasts craving a lively, transparent presentation will appreciate its French sonic signature—warm yet articulate. And for home cinema, these speakers breathe life into dialogues, effects and orchestral scores.
