I do a limited audio budget, and after getting over a period of years a Hegel integrated amplifier, then an Audiolab CD transport, I began stalking speakers. My Totem Rainmakers sounded fine---they still do---but I missed the fuller experience of sitting between a pair of floor-standing speakers. I was questing for speakers to use in a 11' by 15' space and needed some that were efficient, would not call undue attention to themselves, and were within my fairly modest budget.
I settled on a pair of Triangle Borea BR08 speakers in walnut as they suited my room, but the white and black finishes also look fine. They come with wooden plinths and spikes for an extra measure of stability and are equipped with magnetic grills, a nice feature. The cabinets are manufactured wood and the dark finish looks nice with my gear (which is black). I will not delve into the technical description Triangle provides except to say that I think the sound that these speakers creates is quite crisp and nuanced.
I generally listen to a fair amount of jazz, some electronic music, plenty of rock, and some Americana folk. In other words, anything from old Fleetwood Mac (before Buckingham-Nicks) and Family, to the Gourds or Woods, to Gil-Scott Heron or Flying Lotus, to King Crimson, E.S.T, Joe Henry, Mathias Eick, or Dan Weiss. If your read between the lines, I guess the point is that I am not listening to much blunt force rock. I enjoy complex and subtle and unusual elements in music.
And that is why I think the Triangle Borea BR08 speakers suit me. They excel at reproducing percussion and have clear mid-range and high-range sound. Bass is fine for me but these speakers are not going to render gut-bucket bass with the punch that some may be seeking. I would argue that Triangle is pitching these speakers for perhaps listeners who wants to sit and listen, taking time to deconstruct the music and letting the sound wash over them like a rain shower. The BRO8 speakers have a lush, but crisp presentation. They reproduce music clearly and precisely and with energy. They are not super finicky as far as placement, but I do give my space some room to breath.
I do wish the speaker connectors allowed direct insertion of banana plugs on cables as you have to twist the connectors, insert the plugs, then tighten them. Not a big deal, but this is a feature I have always preferred. Not a bit more about those connectors.
When my speakers arrived last September, they were both damaged by the shipper. Most serious was that the speaker plate containing the connectors was shattered, creating both the potential for wires to contact each other and leaving the cabinets open. (The seller was very gracious and worked with me.) I needed to replace the damaged part and also found that I was missing several of the spikes. I contacted Triangle USA which is affiliated with Antal Audio Group, and they very promptly found a replacement part and another set of spikes and sent them to me at no costs. Kudos to Triangle for such services.
The bottom line is that there are several excellent tower speakers at this price point, and how one bests the others is often a subjective matter. I recommend auditioning the Triangle Borea BR08 if possible and see what you think. The imaging, clarity, and decent but not overbearing looks were just what I wanted in this loop of my audio upgrade spiral.

Great value!
Le ho collegate ad un vecchio ma ottimo NAD 3020i da soli 20W+20W, suonano con sicurezza e con una ricchezza di dettagli sorprendente per il prezzo pagato.
