If the end result is underwhelming, you risk losing someone from home cinema for ever. Make those first few films they put on a true AV awakening, though, and you’ll have sparked one of the best lifelong addictions we could wish on anybody.
Straight at you
Based around a front pair of five-star rated standmount speakers, we have high hopes for French hi-ficompany Triangle’s BR03 5.1 home cinema package. The BR03s themselves are the largest of Triangle’s Borea standmounters, with a very solid look for budget speakers.
Take off the grilles and it’s clear that these speakers mean business, with the twin-pronged silver diffuser in front of the tweeter dome and the duo of forwardfacing reflex ports aimed at the listener like shotgun barrels. The 16cm midrange/bass paper driver stares us down like a large white eye in our black ash finish samples. The BRC1 centre features the same twin port design, with two 13cm mid/bass drivers and the same 25mm tweeter with its diffuser aimed at improving the dispersion of the high-frequency sounds.
