I changed Q Acoustics 3030i to Triangle Borea BR02 + subwoofer SVS SB1000. Source is Marantz PM6007/CD6007. Personal experience after two months is clearly listenable upgrade from Q's.

“Sounds natural and very good at everything” “easy to drive” “well built for the price”. It’s no wonder why the br03 has become a modern classic. Always wanted to hear those suckers. Awesome review Nemo, as always.

I've only had the BR02, but I really liked them. Probably not as my primary speaker, but as something to switch to if I wanted to listen to a more romantic/lush and relaxed sound signature every once in a while (for acoustic and vocal focused music). It really excelled at that for the price. Maybe if you didn't want to buy a tube amp or preamp but you wanted a taste of that stereotypical vintage type sound, you could just get these speakers. If you're looking for a detailed and open sounding speaker, then obviously this is not for you.

I like how you threw in the IOTAVX SA3 at the end as a good pairing for the BR03. I have had the BRO3'S hooked to the SA3 PA3 stack for about a year now and think they have really good synergy. Good review

I’m listening to my BR03s right now, which I recently got for a great price on the used market. I’m enjoying them very much, and I’ve had a lot of speakers in here lately, some considerably more expensive. Thanks for the video.

Amazon has them 349 for the BRO3 Delivered! I found that they need at least 50 hours to run them in. Once broken in the imaging becomes MUCH deeper and spacious. I'm extremely impressed with these speakers, especially at the end of a tube amp.

I have the BR02'S paird with a powered subwoofer and I really like them. I feel that vocals and instruments sound very realistic for the price(stock). I plan on upgrading the crossover components with higher quantity components (same values) to get all the sound detail possible from them. I feel the only thing holding the BR02'S back are the price point crossover components. I have a neutral dac, open sounding preamp and slightly crisp amplifier paired with them. BR02'S do sound different with different front end components. For what they are currently priced at they are worthwhile. Do require some break-in. Live concerts are very good with the BR02'S paired with a subwoofer. Great sound stage and imaging provided they are 2 meters apart towed-in and out in the room. The BR02'S sound great without being fatiguing. I have many reasonably priced speakers. BR02'S are among my few favorites. Upgrading the crossovers will double the price of these speakers. Maybe the BR02'S will be my absolute favorite after upgrading, we'll see. I'm hoping so and betting on it.

I am so happy to see this video! I wanted to purchase the focal 806 because it was on sale. Then I read some reviews on this speaker and saw it to was on sale for 300 a pair so I bought then instantly. People that own these speakers are amazed by the sound. They died down a bit then I see this! Thank you. Merry Christmas!

I absolutly agree with your review. I just got tem myself (BRO3) and had to EQ them so they sound like I want it to. They are good but not as good as my Monitor Audio Bronze 100, sounds like a cheaper Version of the Bronze 100 (no 100% accurate I know). Also my Onkyo A-9010 is good fit for this speakers.

I have the bro8s paired with a Wellsenton R8 tube amp. Great sound, will add a sub at one point. But it's lovely.

Its funny... I "compare" the br02 vs q Acoustics concept 300 in my home. Suddenly during the comparison, i found myself letting the br02 to play music during more time. Then i asked my wife and immediately answered "the q Acoustics is better". I had to convince myself after that. The only thing i Notice right away on the q Acoustics is the clarity. (You can hear more details) Enjoyed the music equally on both.

I watched your review and Jay`s iyagi`s review of these speakers. Both of you had different opinions on the BRO2s. I went ahead and bought the BRO2s to hear for myself. You are right! The BR02`s are a bit dark and relaxed. But they can be very enjoyable with many songs that I usually passed on with more revealing speakers. I will not be questioning your opinion in the future!

Also, another factor with people saying they sound similar, I'm sure they could be listening to the room rather than speaker.

In my experience with Triangle Bro speaker you have to unscrew the caps on the binding posts to insert a banana plug because the entrance hole in the binding post cap is a tad too small. My cure for that was to drill out the hole in the cap to a slightly larger size. Your Bro 2s have been opened up as stated.

Glad to hear you mention low power amps. I am considering pairing them with the Schiit Aegir, which is a 20W Class A amp, but I was concerned with dynamics and drive at the low end for EDM style music. Sounds like you had no issues across the board!

Excellent comparison. Keep up the good work.

I find in the bro08s the tweeters can get excited when driven really loud. I'm sure that's what happened in your break in time!

$200 for Bro2's is a steal.👍

I had both. Problem with the bro three it sounds confused when you put two instruments in the same frequency range through it. Refined no. They also fold up at high volume. Great tone however.

If youre on the fence , buy heco aurora 300. They are easier to integrate and make every song sound great. Also build quality much better on the heco. I took my br03 out of the box for a demo and the terminal snapped off like a twig. I send them back right away needless to say

I had Bro 2 and they were too forward in upper mids lower treble so I sold them…I wish I used PEQ back then as they have a lot going for them otherwise…I wonder if they have reworked the crossover…during Covid shortages a lot of manufacturers had to change parts.

we put partial sock in backhole of br 02... this tamed bass a bit.... it is better if triangle can give user change able crossover network.... so we can make br 02, sound more like br 03...

I saw these on sale for less than half MSRP in November. I understand $50 off, even a $100 off but when I see things like that I can't help but be skeptical of what the speaker is actually worth. Call me a conspiracy theorist 😁

solid stuff.. for the money Triangle makes a nice product at the BRO line.

can fit a vintage Yamaha CA-610 amp for the BR02s, all this in a small room.. Great Channel! Best Regards

Regarding people having opinions all over the place, I’m guessing the room has a lot to do with that. The room and treatment or lack of is really way more important than any component or speaker. Fix your rooms first the best you can people before spending thousands on gear. ✌️

I am looking for Bookshelf for my NAD d 3045 amplifier. On paper the br02 they look rather suitable

Nemo, I'm currently rocking the Triangle Genese Trio (they've been around for awhile and gone under the radar) with the matching center in my family room. These are some sexy looking and really good sounding speakers. Maybe Triangle can send you a pair. Would like to hear your opinion on them.

The Yamaha rs202 I can find says min 8 ohm per speaker for A or B and min 16 ohm per speaker for A + B on the back of the amp. This impedance thing is driving me crazy. So this amp would be totally fine for the BR03?

Спасибо, бро, ты сильно мне помог!🤜🤛👍

To Rock & Roll 80 and 90's. . BOREA BRO3 or Wharfedale Diamond 12 .1?????

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review as always Nemo. Its Christmas eve here in the frosen North, 🥶. Would be nice to take a flight over to SoCal and warm up a tad. 🌞 Are you happy with your REL HT/1003, Nemo. I think I will get one of those for my bedside music studio. I need something to fill in under 50Hz where my monitors bottoms out. Do you find it as "precise, deep and fast" as the HT/1203? Hehh,, Im a bit tippy,, 🍻🤪😅. Anyhooo,, cheers my very good friend. It would be sooo nice to be able to hang out and listen to some gear/music and laugh a bit, Mr Masterreviewer. 🥰 Again,, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannuka, or whatever your fav poison is. Please share some thaughts about the HT/1003,s. 🙏

BR02 + Marantz PM6007 combo, Do you like them?

Would love to hear your thoughts on how these bro 3 compare to the chora 806 in overall & low volume performance.

I have the BR03 for about a year now and I have to say that as much as I hate to amit it its very difficult to upgrade from this speaker. Sure there are more detailed sounding speakers but muh tonality spead and naturalness of the top end. The main problem I have with this speaker is that to get it to sing you need a really precise DAC along with somthing with good grip over the drivers like the Hagel H90(currently using the NAD 316v2 but planing to upgrade when I get the money). My second problem would be the inability to get brass instruments as sharp as I would like but honestly that is a minor nitpik. Honestly this speaker is like poison to the ears. As long as the chain is nice and tight this is producing near headphone levels of nuisance. To be honestly I should have writen this a couple of hours ago but the speakers are just too distracting. There is somthing magical about vocals, metal and electronic music on the BR03 Just a thought since the BR03 is very senitive to the chain maybe the people that say it sounds similar to the BR02 are using something warm like the audiolab 6000a?

Unfortunately, the Yamaha RS 202 doesn't have a phono input. The Yamaha RN 602 does, but isn't available except as used/refurbished. Would the Onkyo TX 8260 be sufficiently "neutral" to work well with the BRO3? It's not overpowered at 80 watts per channel. There's a Marantz NR 1200 with 75 watts, but it's too expensive unless used/refurbished. My receiver is 20+ years old, as is the 5 disc CD player. ( remember them? ) The turntable, a Pioneer PL 514X, is good, but 40 years old & could use a clean/lube. The speakers, a pair of re-foamed AR-6's, are 50 years old. It's time to get "modern", ... on a budget. Don't need more than 2 channels. No room for a "home theater", and wouldn't have one if there was.

can you review Magnat Signature 503 3-Way

I have the bro3 with a vintage sanui 9090 db awesome.....

Hi, good day. May I know which of these is good for near field listening, ie: 2 to 3 metres away. Also, may I know if they pair well with the rega brio? Thank you Sir.

What about Triangle Tower speakers? For my large leaving room?

What color is the grill cloth on the Bro3 when purchased in white?

I am sorry ! , I don't like how they sounds however I like how they built and look though. I can say the triangle titus ez model are different league I have auditioned them in the store. I prefer the Dynaudio Emit 20 any day , they are better by far.

How would the bro 3 pair with a Yamaha AS301 or AS501?

is the bro3 is better than the monitor audio bronze100?

Here's another weird take... my experience was listening to the Bro3s twice at my dealers, once on a Rega brio amp and the second time on a Naim Uniti Atom. Well, for me, I can sum up all the descriptors of these speakers into one word... Boring. These speakers didn't grab me at all in any area and if anything, sounded cheap and strained on the Rega. The last time I listened was on the Naim and I found myself playing on my phone during the audition as it started cycling through songs before I realized what I was doing. Now, I get that everybody hears things differently and I pretty much agree with most reviewers assessments, but these... *yawn. Now, in their defense, maybe it was the synergy with said components was just a poor choice? Possibly as I heard other speakers on them and liked those. Let me be clear to those who own these and think I'm sh*ttin on their beloved speakers... I don't think they're bad and if they do all the things everybody says, then great, good, I'm happy for you! Really. My experience was just quite the opposite. Who's to say if I did pull the trigger and get them and hook them up to my gear that I would've had a better experience? I have a theory... maybe since there are so many people with polarizing views of these speakers explains an inconsistency in the build of these causing such differences in sonic character? They are cheap speakers (comparatively) after all. IDK, just spit balling here. Honestly wish I had that experience that everyone else is having so I could understand better, because from my point of view, I wouldn't spend a dime on them which really stinks. I love auditioning speakers and hearing their differences, but these for whatever reason was a swing and a miss. Btw, dig your attitude!

Having the same drivers; they've got to sound similar

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Seem cranky😂

rock,,,, vs jazz huh,,,, as,,, 2 vs 3

Triangle no thanks latest craze of over hype reviews.

I feel like quality control might be hit and miss as there are some drastically different reviews out there 🥲🤷
