Triangle Borea BR04, new Hi-Fi and Home Cinema bookshelf speaker

After the Borea BRS1 speakers and the Triangle Borea BRC2 center speaker presented a few weeks ago in our columns (see our news Triangle Borea BRS1 and BRC2, new center and surround Hi-Fi and Home Cinema speakers), the French speaker manufacturer Triangle located near Soissons in the Aisne department, is once again expanding its range of Borea Hi-Fi/Home Cinema speakers with the new BR04 bookshelf speaker.

The announcement of this new Triangle reference is an opportunity to look back at this formidable and very versatile series offered by the French manufacturer.

New Triangle Borea BR04 speakers££££

A speaker manufacturer for almost forty-five years, the brand has been offering the Borea speaker series since 2019 with the aim of providing excellent value for money. Previously composed of four floorstanding models (the Triangle BR10 3-way, the Triangle BR09 3-way, the Triangle BR08 3-way and the Triangle BR07 2.5-way), two bookshelves (Triangle BR03 2-way and Triangle BR02 2-way), two surrounds (Triangle BRA1 2-way and Triangle Borea BRS1 2-way), two center speakers (Triangle BRC1 2-way and Triangle Borea BRC2 2-way), the Borea series welcomes a new reference, the Triangle Borea BR04 bookshelf speaker (see photo below), for a total of eleven references.

Triangle Borea BR04, EFS tweeter££££

All Triangle Borea models, especially the Borea BR04, benefit from a tweeter equipped with the EFS system (Efficient Flow System). This consists of a 25 mm silk dome topped with a phase adjustment piece, specifically developed to homogenize the diffusion of high frequencies. Result: a significantly lower directivity, regardless of the listener's location in the room.

Similarly, the speaker membrane is placed within a horn starter (see photo below) in order to limit edge effects and thus preserve clarity.

Triangle Borea BR04, 100% cellulose midrange ££££

On the mid-bass speaker side, like almost all Borea speakers, the BR04 has a 16 cm specimen structured around a 100% natural cellulose pulp (paper) membrane. The cone profile has undergone special treatment to reinforce its rigidity and improve its frequency response.

Triangle Borea BR04, zoom on the specifications££££

The Triangle Borea BR04 (see photo below) is a front-firing bass-reflex speaker equipped with the brand's exclusive DVAS process to limit cabinet vibrations and offer a perfectly controlled and therefore clear rendering. We also note the presence of a double terminal block for bi-wiring/bi-amplification. The filtering has therefore been designed to improve frequency separation for pure sound reproduction appreciated by audiophiles. The Triangle, which BR04 displays a frequency response of 44 Hz to 22,000 Hz and a sensitivity of 90 dB, is perfect for Hi-Fi and/or Home Cinema use.
