Hello, thank you for your work. I know well Triangle. I always like theirs speakers form, always very nice. In another field, you spoke about Dirac, have you ever thought of testing Umik 1 microphone to be compared to the microphone provided by the home cinema amplifier ( rz50) using in both cases Dirac live‽
No Andrew, it's not your in-room bass response that is lacking. This time it really is the speakers! I bought an identical pair to the ones you have for review last year. Ran them in over 300 hours before any critical listening to give them a chance, and I was disappointed to say the least. Especially in their lower bass response. I've had numerous tower and stand mount speakers in my listening room, so I have a good understanding of my room's tonal and sound characteristics. Triangle's lower bass frequency response numbers are fudged. Pound for pound, my BR03s have way better bass response! I really took a deep dive into some research to try to figure out what the deal was with their bass, or I should say, their lack of lower bass, and stumbled onto a review from an audio magazine out of Poland that had very interesting findings in their lab. They found the physical size difference between the BR08 and BR09 speakers was almost identical, cubic foot wise, but the 9s have an extra woofer. This extra woofer is what is destroying the lower bass response. The 09 speakers would have to be quite a bit larger to accommodate this extra bass driver. At 35Hz, these BR09s are measuring -10db!!, not -3db as specified. That's why I said triangle's numbers are incorrect. The realistic lower bass response is right at around 50Hz for these BR09s. Therefore the BR08 speakers have a much improved even bass and overall response over the BR09s. In other words, if you are looking to buy these 09s, you will have better sound out of a pair of BR08s in a much cheaper package. Sometimes less really is more! I sold them to say the least. Thanks for the review you guys. God bless.
This might be a little weird, but I believe that it would be even nicer if you included a recording of the speakers playing in each review so we could paint a picture a little better.
Thank you
The BR0 line is a value winner for sure! I do want to see some reviews of the Signature or Magellan lines at some point also just for exposure. I feel like with BR0 most people (in the US) are going to lump Triangle as an option in the bin of "their speakers are only good when you factor in their price" without considering that the brand competes above that tier as well.
Great review as always. Bought the BR03 for my small student room and loving it so far. Any chance a review of it might be coming in the future? Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
They look so great in your room! It looks like it's taylor made to your decor😂🎉
I just picked up my own 9's. They were the Mirage OM9's that i got used and near mint for a song. Got them 2 weeks ago and they sound fantastic! It seems like Bipole or Omnidirectional speakers are nearly nonexistent anymore. Think the speakers I have would sound incredible in your room. I am older and developed tinnitus so the non directivity of sound also helps immensely with that. That being said i am not missing anything and the soundstage is immense. But i digress…..just wanted to share my recent 9 acquisition and question about omnidirectional speakers or lack there of.
Great review.
I bought the 3's on a whim and loved them. So then came the 09's and center joining my existing
2 svs pb3000 subs.
I like these a lot even though they are much cheaper than many other speakers that I owned recently.
I haven't heard the 9s but I've heard the Bro3s. My impression is that these speakers sound nice and mainly fun immediately and if that's what you're looking for, you got it. I wanted more detail, separation etc and I knew that I would ultimately be unsatisfied with this line. However, the price makes it a good first or second step in anyone's journey.
The 40th anniversary Comete bookshelves are really good from the Triangle brand.
When you know the local market, the French make absolutely exceptional products
There are even smaller and local brands that are even better than triangle
It's good to have these kind of videos because usually we always see the same products on YouTube
Hi Kristi and Andrew, 🙂
I bought the Triangle Comète 40th anniversary speakers from the Esprit EZ line 40th anniversary.
It's not the same price of course ! But Triangle has a magical sound. It's lively, with nice emphasis, really good midranges.
But please Kristi Andrew, don't married them to Rotel and Yamaha; WORST ever association possible ! With Rotel particularly ( muffled, too dry, too many hardness, TOO much dynamic).
Triangle like juice, give them current ! And a soft signature amplifier and they will give you the best ever ! Very lovely and lively sound, fast speakers, good energy.
I don't regret my choice at all, those speakers are awesome! 🙂👍
Thanks for your review and see ya !
Why do you keep showing the r700 in white which nobody can get including you
Love your work Andrew and Christy!!! I have just recently purchased a set of Heco R1000 in black, I am in process of break in and so far quite pleased with them. I was hoping you may be able to work with Audio Advice and get a set for review. I had been around and around trying to decide what to get. The usual candidates were on my list….ie. Polk r-700s, Klipsch, Emotiva T2+. But I decided to give the Heco’s a try. I am running an older Emotiva UPA-200 amp driven by a Schiit Saga preamp and modi multi-bit DAC, Mani phono pre and Rega RP3 turntable with Ortofon 2m blue cart. I was quite young just out of high school when I was able to get my dream job selling high end audio. Mind you I was the nerd kid in middle school who would read Audio magazine’s. The store I worked for was a dealer for Linn, Polk,Klipsch, B&O…. I was even privileged to meet and have dinner with Matthew Polk and Sandy Gross at CES in Chicago at Biggs restaurant. This was back in 1985 mind you, so I have been into everything music and audio and tech.
I was waiting a while for this review, thank you. I bought the Br09 last year and compared them in A/B tests with my older Paradigm Reference Studio 80V2 and ultimately sold the Paradigms. I paired my Triangle with an Emotiva BasX A300 amplifier. I had wondered if adding a beefier amplifier would give me what I want from the Br09 and after hearing you mention dipping to 4 ohms, I think I might just go that route before replacing the speakers themselves.
Speaker reviews are kind of useless. Its like some one describing how Mona Lisa made them feel. Interesting but entirely subjective.
Good review, thanks. My local dealer has a demo pair of these for 1k €, I'd definitely buy them if I was looking for new speakers.
Great review as always!
If Mid Century Modern was a syrup for your pancakes, this speaker would be that.
what happened to the aurora 700 heco review?
Mr. R. and Now we need a review of the new Emotiva 11 channel receiver the BasX MR1….and as usual a comparison spiel with the Onkyo TX-RZ50, Denon X4700H, and the Yamaha RX-A6A…please….many are waiting for your expertise….thanks.
I know that speaker design, in terms of appearance, has become a "thing." It's a reality when trying to squeeze 2 pieces of new furniture in to the house and having the Mrs. not put her foot down about it and refuse to allow it. Got it. Understand completely.
However, when I'm shopping speakers, what they look like has less to do with the purchase than how they sound. If they look good or cool, great. But not in preference to how they sound. To me, form follows function.
I've heard the R700s and these Triangles. In comparison, the Triangles might as well be a steaming pile on the floor for how they sound next to the Polks. Whats the point of pretty speakers if they dont sound good or even as good as speakers that cost the same?
The Polks are gorgeous to me because of the sound that emanates from them. Not because they use vinyl wraps or real veneers. The sound makes them pretty.
If the Mrs. doesn't like the look of them and doesn't want them in the main watching room, then they go in to my listening room. She doesn't get my predeliction for form over function because she says "she can't hear the difference."
But I have cornered her in conversation about it and it boils down to absolutely opposite approaches to how we view speakers and audio equipment in general. She doesn't hear the difference between speakers because her opinion is so colored by her opinion about their appearance. To her, pretty speakers sound better. Lol.
She doesn't approach it like my almost childlike quest for what sounds good.
Review the Nakamichi Dragon please, new soundbar that has 3000 watts 11.4.6 that is suppose to compete eith home theatres and is the first soundbar with home theatre dolby atmos and it has other stuff only home theatres have. I wanna see how it does against a similar priced loud speaker setup
Andrew Robinson is one of the good guys. Ten from Len ✓
I own a pair of triangle ez titan's the tweeter is soooo sexy
You guys probably get this question a lot, and I know sometimes you guys are last to get product from certain manufactures (if at all), but any plans to get any Buchardt products in? Such as the passive or Active speakers or even their new Integrated Amp? Thanks for the awesome work guys!
Great review. I always enjoy your reviews. I’ve owned both the BR08 and BR09. The 8s are much better than the 9s in my opinion. More neutral (doesn’t have as large of treble lift) and bass is actually much tighter. I think the bass is due to too many drivers in too small of an enclosure. The 9s boost the bass too much between 70-120hz and it falls off really quick at 70Hz. The 8s don’t fall off quickly until 40Hz. Again, the boost is due to too small of enclosure that it covers up extension below the boosted area. I actually replaced Lumina Vs with the BR08s, and bought another pair of the BR08s. They’re that good. Lumina V are quite good, but bass is a little slower and not as quick. Also, a bit of thickness in mids. They have really good extension- sub is optional. I believe the BR08 the best speaker south of $5K, and I’ve tried over a dozen of them. I so thrilled you are reviewing the Triangles now. Try the 8s and be amazed. Yes, the 8s need the help of a sub and an amp that’s good with 2.9Ohms. Happy listening.
Since Polk is much expensive then I expect a better performance from it. But when it comes to value the Triangle is hard to beat.
With respect. The name is pronounced tree-ahn-gle.
Just found your channel and love it! Kristy's takes are on point as well! I'm building a dedicated movie theater style room in my house, I have to stay on budget. If you had "only" $2000 to spend on a receiver what you spend it on. Don't listen to much music in the house, but huge movie buff and my $500 pioneer is very weak. Thanks for everything!
Damn Andrew, was waiting for these babies to get reviewed on your channel. Good thing you're still reading comments and considering requests.
I believe these came out already in 2020, but I'am thinking these may very well STILL be the best "(slightly above) Budget" speakers for the Hifi Intermediate.
Seriously haven't heard anything more amazing under 1500 $. It's mostly the extreme Clarity and Transparency of these speakers making them fascinating in their own way. Bass is also hella potent on these, plus the entire 5.0 Set can be aquired for I believe around 1600-1700 bucks as they offer amazing Deals on their Sets. These are for the Value seekers and Budget conscious Audiophiles. Hence out of the two big french players Focal and Triangle I actually lean more towards this Triangle brand. Hope to see you also getting your hands on their higher level speakers, like the 50th Anniversary Antal and 50th Anniversary Comete Bookshelf speakers which look seriously jaw droppingly beautiful.
To provide some value here are some more future suggestions in case you're running out of ideas on 2023 speaker reviews. 😄
