Triangle Pack Borea BR08 + BRC2 + BRS1 white
Overview
The Borea range from Triangle represents the culmination of French acoustic expertise, directly inspired by the prestigious Esprit Ez series. This complete home cinema pack combines the BR08 floor-standing speakers, the BRC2 center speaker, and the BRS1 surround speakers to create a versatile and high-performance hi-fi audio system. Benefiting from Triangle’s latest acoustic innovations, particularly in cabinet design and speaker membranes, this pack delivers precise and natural sound reproduction that will delight both audiophiles and movie enthusiasts.
Advanced Acoustic Technologies
The Borea BR08 pack benefits from innovations developed for Triangle’s higher-end ranges. The BR08 floor-standing speakers feature a 3-way system comprising a 25 mm silk dome tweeter with an efficient flow system (EFS), a 16 cm midrange driver made of natural cellulose pulp, and two 16 cm bass drivers made of fiberglass.
The BRC2 center speaker, an evolution of the BRC1, incorporates two 16 cm midrange/bass drivers made of natural cellulose pulp and a 25 mm fabric dome tweeter. This configuration ensures clear and precise dialogue reproduction, a crucial element for the cinematic experience.
The BRS1 surround speakers stand out with their dipole/bipole design, allowing optimal diffusion of surround effects. Equipped with two 25 mm fabric dome tweeters and a 16 cm midrange/bass driver made of natural cellulose pulp, they create an immersive sound environment that enhances the sense of space.
These technologies enable the Borea BR08 pack to deliver a wide and detailed soundstage, with natural reproduction of voices and instruments, a hallmark of Triangle’s sound signature.
Exceptional Acoustic Performance
The Borea BR08 pack stands out for its remarkable acoustic performance. The BR08 floor-standing speakers offer a high sensitivity of 92 dB/W/m and an extended frequency range of 40 Hz to 22 kHz, ensuring faithful reproduction of low frequencies without the need for an additional subwoofer. Their 3-way configuration ensures clear separation between different frequency ranges, contributing to the precision and naturalness of the sound reproduction.
The BRC2 center speaker, with its sensitivity of 91 dB/W/m and frequency range of 50 Hz to 22 kHz, excels in reproducing dialogues, providing clarity and intelligibility even during the most intense action scenes. Its optimized design ensures perfect tonal coherence with the main speakers.
The BRS1 surround speakers, thanks to their dipole/bipole design, create a diffuse sound field that enhances the sense of space and immersion. With a sensitivity of 91 dB/W/m and a frequency range of 55 Hz to 22 kHz, they faithfully reproduce the sound effects of movies and multichannel music recordings.
Triangle’s sound signature, characterized by its dynamics, precision, and naturalness, is fully expressed in this pack, which excels in both musical and cinematic reproduction.
Versatility and Adaptability
One of the major strengths of the Borea BR08 pack lies in its versatility. Designed to adapt to different configurations and room sizes, this system is perfectly suited for spaces ranging from 20 to 40 m². The BR08 floor-standing speakers, with their power handling of 150 W RMS, deliver sufficient sound pressure to fill medium to large living spaces effortlessly.
The Borea range allows for numerous configurations, from a simple 2.0 stereo system to complex 9.2.2 home cinema setups. The BR08 + BRC2 + BRS1 pack forms a solid 5.0 base that can be complemented with a Tales 340 subwoofer to create an even more powerful 5.1 system for low-frequency performance.
The high sensitivity of the Borea speakers makes them compatible with a wide range of amplifiers, including moderately powered models. This feature allows users to retain their existing equipment while benefiting from the acoustic qualities of the Triangle system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the BR08 speakers and other models in the Borea range?
The BR08 are intermediate-sized 3-way floor-standing speakers in the Borea range, positioned between the more compact BR07 and the larger BR09/BR10. They are ideal for rooms between 20 and 40 m², offering a good balance between moderate size and high acoustic performance. Compared to the BR09, which features five drivers including two 16 cm bass drivers, the BR08 includes four drivers with two 16 cm woofers in a more compact cabinet.
Can I use this pack without a subwoofer?
Absolutely. The BR08 floor-standing speakers go down to 40 Hz, already providing satisfactory low-frequency reproduction for music and movies. For primarily musical listening or in an apartment where very deep bass might disturb neighbors, this 5.0 pack is an excellent solution. However, adding a subwoofer like the Tales 340 is recommended for action movie special effects that require extended sub-bass.
What amplification do you recommend for this speaker pack?
Thanks to their high sensitivity (91-92 dB/W/m), these speakers can be driven by moderately powered amplifiers, starting from 60-80 watts per channel. To fully exploit their dynamic potential, a quality home cinema amplifier delivering 100-150 watts per channel at 8 ohms will be ideal. However, note the minimum impedance of 3 ohms for the BR08, which requires an amplifier stable at low impedances.
