Triangle Borea BR09 Review: The Best Budget Tower Speakers

Three-way French floor-standers with three bass drivers, neutral tonality, and a bigger-than-expected soundstage - balanced, distortion-free, and free of overdone bass.

Verdict: Recommended - 8.0/10. Price: $1,099/pair.

What's good

Clean, slim aesthetic - blends into any room

Three-way design with 3x 165mm bass drivers

Driver Vibration Absorption System reduces cabinet resonance

Cellulose midrange driver - natural vocals/instruments

Frequency response 35Hz-22kHz - good extension

92dB sensitivity - easy to drive

Wooden pedestal with rubber pads + spikes included

Surprisingly large soundstage for a budget speaker

Worth knowing

Single pair of binding posts - no bi-wire option

Can sound a bit dry - benefits from warmer source gear

Lacks soundstage depth

Bass needs careful placement away from walls

Treble is spicier on-axis than off-axis

Light cabinet (23kg) - some resonances vs heavy speakers
