Overview
The Triangle Borea BR08 is a floorstanding speaker that embodies the acoustic expertise of the French brand Triangle. This flagship model in the Borea series delivers exceptional sound performance in an elegant, contemporary design.
A 3-way floorstander with impressive performance
The Borea BR08 is a 3-way floorstanding speaker equipped with 4 drivers. It features a 25 mm silk dome tweeter, a 160 mm midrange driver made of natural cellulose, and two 160 mm woofers in fiberglass. This configuration allows it to cover a wide frequency range from 40 Hz to 22 kHz with precision and dynamism.
The new-generation EFS (Efficient Flow System) tweeter uses a neodymium magnet and a dedicated phase plug. This optimizes the dispersion of the high frequencies while reducing directivity, resulting in a wide, airy soundstage. The natural cellulose midrange driver, inherited from the Esprit Ez range, delivers a natural and detailed reproduction of voices and instruments.
The two fiberglass woofers provide deep, punchy bass with excellent power handling. The front-firing bass-reflex port helps to extend the low-frequency response while making speaker placement easier.
Scandinavian design combining elegance and functionality
The Borea BR08 sports a clean, Scandinavian-inspired design that blends seamlessly into any interior. The cabinet’s understated lines are enhanced by refined details such as the decorative rings around the drivers.
The cabinet work has been carefully engineered to optimize acoustic performance. The DVAS (Driver Vibration Absorption System), with slotted internal panels and EVA foam, effectively reduces unwanted vibrations. The non-parallel walls, for their part, help to limit standing waves inside the speaker.
With dimensions of 102 x 20.6 x 31.4 cm and a weight of 18.85 kg, the BR08 offers a good balance between footprint and performance. It comes with decoupling spikes and rubber feet for stable installation on all types of floors.
A lively and well-balanced sound
The Borea BR08 stands out for its energetic, natural sound. The EFS tweeter delivers refined, airy highs without harshness. The midrange has remarkable presence, reproducing voices with striking realism. The two woofers, meanwhile, provide deep, articulated bass.
The soundstage produced by these speakers is wide and well structured. The different layers of the mix are reproduced with precision, offering excellent stereo imaging. The BR08 excels with both small acoustic ensembles and large orchestral works.
Thanks to its high sensitivity of 92 dB and 8-ohm impedance, the Borea BR08 pairs easily with a wide range of amplifiers. It delivers convincing performance even with moderately powerful electronics.
Remarkable versatility
While the Borea BR08 particularly shines in stereo, it is also very comfortable in a home theater setup. Its precise reproduction of voices and excellent sense of rhythm make it a versatile speaker, capable of faithfully reproducing both music and soundtracks.
Its high output and robust power handling allow it to efficiently fill rooms of up to 40 m². The BR08 is therefore an excellent foundation for a high-performance audio-video system when combined with other models from the Borea range.
Triangle heritage with outstanding value for money
The Borea BR08 benefits from Triangle’s acoustic know-how, incorporating technologies derived from higher-end ranges. It thus delivers performance worthy of far more expensive speakers, at a particularly attractive price point.
Awarded numerous prizes, including an EISA award for best value in home theater, the Borea range stands out as a benchmark in its category. The BR08 is its flagship, combining musical excellence with versatile use.

Absolutely, the BR08 excels in both stereo and multichannel setups. It can be combined with other models in the Borea range to build a high-performance home theater system.
Is bi-wiring mandatory for the Borea BR08?

I love these speakers. They bring music to life. Remarkable dynamics, the sound feels natural, excellent value for money. The sound seems balanced to me, with present bass, beautiful mids, and non-fatiguing highs. You just need to give them time before they sound really great.

J’adore ces enceintes. Quelle vie elles donnent à la musique. Une dynamique remarquable, le son semble naturel, un rapport qualité/prix excellent.
Le son me parait équilibré, des basses présentes, un beau médium, des aigus pas fatiguants.
Il faut juste leur laisser le temps avant qu’elles ne sonnent super bien.
