The number 1 in classical music and hi-fi. It is a benchmark in the field of classical music and hi-fi, as well as the distinction it awards to the best devices each year
Each year, dozens of European journalists gather to select the best electronic products of the year. Awarded by a diverse and impartial jury, the EISA (Expert Imaging and Sound Association) awards recognize exceptional products for their performance, design, or ergonomics.
The Triangle Borea BR08 is a floorstanding loudspeaker 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.
The Borea BR08 is a 3-way floorstanding loudspeaker equipped with 4 drivers. It features a 25 mm silk dome tweeter, a 160 mm natural cellulose midrange driver, and two 160 mm fiberglass woofers. This configuration enables 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 benefits from a neodymium magnet and a dedicated phase plug. This optimizes the dispersion of 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 extend the low-frequency response while making it easier to position the speaker.
The Borea BR08 sports a clean, Scandinavian-inspired design that blends seamlessly into any interior. The cabinet’s sleek lines are enhanced by refined details such as the decorative rings around the drivers.
The cabinet construction 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 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 strikes a good balance between compactness and performance. It comes with decoupling spikes and rubber tips for stable installation on all types of flooring.
The Borea BR08 stands out for its energetic, natural sound signature. The EFS tweeter delivers delicate, airy highs with no harshness. The midrange has remarkable presence, reproducing voices with striking realism. The two woofers, for their part, ensure deep, articulate 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 provides convincing performance even with moderately powered electronics.
While the Borea BR08 truly shines in stereo, it is also very comfortable in a home theater setup. Its precise vocal reproduction and excellent sense of rhythm make it a versatile speaker, capable of faithfully reproducing both music and soundtracks.
Its high sound output and power handling allow it to effectively fill rooms of up to 40 m². The BR08 thus forms an excellent foundation for a high-performance audio-video system when paired with other models from the Borea range.
The Borea BR08 benefits from Triangle’s acoustic know-how, incorporating technologies derived from higher-end ranges. It therefore offers performance worthy of far more expensive speakers, at a particularly attractive price.
Awarded numerous prizes, including an EISA award for best value in home theater, the Borea range has established itself as a benchmark in its category. The BR08 is its flagship model, combining musical qualities with versatile use.
The BR08 is compatible with amplifiers from 40 to 150 W. Its high sensitivity nonetheless allows it to fully express its potential even with moderately powered electronics.
Absolutely, the BR08 excels in both stereo and multichannel setups. It can be combined with other models from the Borea range to form a high-performance home theater system.
Bi-wiring is not essential, but it can provide gains in definition and dynamics. The BR08 performs perfectly well with single-wiring when used with a quality cable.
The BR09 is slightly larger and incorporates a third woofer. It therefore delivers more low-frequency impact and is better suited to larger rooms. The BR08 nevertheless remains the best all-round choice for most uses.

Very beautiful and good product. For my first hi-fi purchase of floorstanding speakers, I am delighted. They are of course still being broken in, but I am already pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. I am rediscovering music. A big change compared with my old soundbar.
