TriangleBOREA BR03 Hi-Fi Bookshelf Speakers - Power handling 100W - Output 90 dB/W/m - Versatile Music and Home Cinema - 206 x 380 x 314 mm - White (Pair)

These small speakers sound as good as many that are twice the price. Amazing bass extension.

I did not buy mine from Amazon. I think I got them from one of the first importers when they launched.I'm an experienced audiophile and have owned many top standmounts over the years including Proacs, Harbeth, Spendor, Acoustic Energy, Totems, Dali and Stirling Broadcast Ls3/5a's etc.These are definitely to my taste. I love the value and performance I get from these, but most of all the tone is to die for! If you value tone this is a great little performer. It's definitely the star of the show. I would say the tone and midrange presentation on these get me 90% of what my Harbeths give me. The top end is nicely extended and refined. The bass is very strong, fulsome and punchy, although slightly too "ripe" for me. At this price, it's just nitpicking. It's got a direct presentation and the soundstage is directed out toward the listener as supposed to layering it behind the speakers. They will not be good if you are too close to these speakers. They are not nearfield monitors. Although the bass is ripe it is very entertaining and seldom bloated. It hits hard and is very punchy and responsive. Piano sounds as big as it should which is a hard feat to accomplish. The strumming of guitars are sublime and you can feel the resonance of the strings in a big bold way. Not even the Harbeth P3esr or Proac Tablette 10 can entirely pull this off. Put on some Jesse Cook or Dominic Miller and prepare to be blown away.The top end is sharp but not nearly as ear-splitting as my Totem Rainmakers. I have a fairly Neutral Amp and don't suffer any listening fatigue which I'm usually quite sensitive to.So these are keepers because of the value / performance - getting £250 for them used is just not worth it. I guess this is why you never see them being sold used on Ebay etc.I hope they last a long time and if they ever give in I'll buy them again! :)
