Triangle Borea BR10: The New Flagship Floorstanding Speaker

Triangle's Borea series has earned a solid reputation in Hi-Fi audio for delivering impressive sound quality with great value. For audio enthusiasts considering the Triangle BR09 and Triangle BR10 speakers, the differences may feel subtle but are significant enough to impact your listening experience, depending on your unique needs and space.

Design and Build
The BR10 takes things up a notch with a four-way design that includes three 8-inch bass drivers, a dedicated midrange driver, and Triangle’s signature silk dome tweeter. Standing at nearly 4.5 feet tall, the BR10 commands attention with its larger, heavier build compared to the BR09. This larger cabinet accommodates the extra bass driver, delivering fuller, more robust low-end performance that’s ideal for expansive listening spaces.

The BR10’s additional bass driver and larger cabinet give it a deeper low-end response, but this does require more room to breathe. If space and placement flexibility are concerns, the BR10 may need a bit more clearance to truly shine.

Sound Performance
Triangle BR10 The BR10’s four-way design emphasizes bass frequencies, giving it a powerful low-end punch that’s especially suited for genres like rock, hip-hop, or electronic. The extra woofer enhances bass control and separation between drivers, delivering a more refined soundstage with enhanced depth. The BR10’s highs and mids match the BR09 in detail, yet its richer, weightier sound makes it a fantastic choice for larger rooms where a more immersive listening experience is desirable.

The BR10 stands out as the bass champion with its four-way configuration and additional driver, while the BR09 is a versatile choice with balanced mids and highs. For those seeking a fuller sound with a focus on impactful bass, the BR10 is an excellent option.

Power Handling and Amplifier Pairing
Triangle BR10 With a power handling capacity of 200 watts RMS, the BR10 requires a bit more power to reach its full potential, ideally paired with amplifiers delivering between 80-200 watts. For those with a high-powered amplifier, the BR10’s design can handle the load with ease, delivering a room-filling sound that’s especially captivating in larger spaces.

Room Compatibility and Placement
Triangle BR10 Due to its larger cabinet and more potent bass, the BR10 performs best in large listening spaces where its low frequencies can fully expand. Similar to the BR09, it benefits from some clearance around the rear-firing ports, but it may need additional room due to the extra bass output.

Price of the Borea BR10
The Triangle Borea BR10 is priced individually, with each speaker carrying an MSRP of $1,149.50. Currently, it's available at a sale price of $999.50 per unit, offering substantial savings for Hi-Fi enthusiasts seeking premium sound quality. This pricing makes the BR10 a highly attractive option for those looking to enhance their audio setup with Triangle’s flagship Borea model.
