Hey there, It’s a custom made subwoofer using an old 12” SVS driver from a cylinder sub and a BASH plate amp from parts express. I had the crossover set at 60 Hz. However, this will be dependent on your room’s acoustics and how low the speakers are going on their own then adjust the subs x-over accordingly. I didn’t want the sun doing too much work, let the speakers produce what they can and let the sun fill in what they can’t or don’t.

@@theeverydayaudiophile4147 Thanks for the reply, I'm in the process of moving from floor speakers and just bought the q150's. Very nice sounding speaker but could use a little help at the bottom end. Having no experience with subwoofers I'm just trying to gather as much info as possible before i decide on anything. Experimenting can be costly, I'd like to be happy right out of the gate. I'm leaning towards a rel at the moment.

@@bidenneedshisbuttwiped REL is known for very musical subs.

Hey buddy. I basically got out of the hobby. Other things in life happened and I took a step back. I ended up securing a pair of speakers that I really enjoy and stopped looking at new gear. I’m doing alright, thanks for asking!

@@theeverydayaudiophile4147 I appreciate your response, no it just seems that I find people on here I enjoy hearing about and sharing and their enthusiasm and then all of a sudden they sort of vanish or you know what I mean. And I'm always just curious about that situation but I am happy to hear you found some gear you enjoy listening to and you have become satiated.

@@harjotgill6162 It is what it is. On youtube i`ve heard a lot an i do mean a lot better. Song choice has nothing to do with it. I know it it sounds nice. This doesn`t.

Hard to say what you’re going to notice between the two on “budget” gear. I’m not knocking it; we all start somewhere. In gradual upgrades is where we learn and appreciate subtle differences. If possible, try upgrading your amplifier as that can be a piece you build around knowing it’s a solid design.

No, the subwoofer was not connected. I wanted to hear the bookshelf speakers by themselves. They’re quite impressive for their price and size.

I had the KEF Q150 before I got the Triangle BR03 speakers. The two different speakers are both excellent values for the price (especially if you wait for the Q150 to go on sale). Which one would be better for you is hard for me to say because it depends on your room’s acoustics and what your preferred music preferences are. You can’t really go wrong with either one.

@@theeverydayaudiophile4147 Thanks for the reply. I own the Q150 but was asking whether you've heard the Q350 and if so, how it compares the the Triangle BR03.

@@geevee1045 No, I haven’t heard the Q350.

I used compound followed by polish but the swirls and scratches are still there. Perhaps a wax, sealant, graphene, or ceramic coating would help if applied when brand new out of the box. I’m not buying another one to try and find out.

I wouldn’t recommend a cheap receiver when you can get an inexpensive integrated amp instead. The NAD C 316 BEE is good and you can find them used for not a lot of money.

300 hours is a long time!

Congrats! Enjoy!

It could be due to the pairing of his chosen amplifier(s). I find that not all amplifiers / integrated amps sound the same. Could be his room (the largest factor of what influences sound quality).

Afraid not. USB port is for charging USB devices; it’s not for a Bluetooth dongle.

they could be yoga blocks. That's what I use

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you are enjoying them!

@@theeverydayaudiophile4147 Can I ask , almost a year later, are you still enjoying them or any plans to replace or “upgrade” to another pair ?

@@freakin13guy Yes, I have moved on from the Triangle Borea BR03 in my main listening room. I still have them but they are currently not in use. I decided to use the Wharfedale EVO 4.2 in my main setup. Much warmer than the Borea BR03 but also much more bass response in my room with outstanding instrument separation. I can clearly place where the musicians are on the stage and the dome midrange is really spectacular for vocals. The Air Motion Transformer on the EVO 4.2 is effortless and non-fatiguing while still presenting beautiful details. The EVO is a larger stand-mount speaker and almost 2x the $ of the Borea and I am quite happy with my decision. Happy listening!

@@theeverydayaudiophile4147 Superb choice on the Evo 4.2.! Enjoy! Almost kept them for many of the reasons you mentioned but the Triangle were a bit better for HT use and my application called for a speaker that could pull off double duty... If I ever set up a strictly 2 channel set up, the Evo 4.2, for the price, are my first choice! All that said I’m VERY tempted to try out the Triangle Comète EZ as I hear they are a step up from the BRO3.. :)

@@theeverydayaudiophile4147 May I ask what amp you paired the Evo 4.2 with?

Hi Justin, Since this is an integrated amplifier, the preamp and the amp are combined into one package. I don’t believe you can use the integrated as a stand alone amplifier for use with a separate pre amp. You would be spending more money and may be better off with a different integrated altogether. Is there something you don’t like about the way the Denon sounds?

You basically answered the question yourself. The M2si is a streamlined, direct amplifier with very little in the signal path while the CXA60/CXA61 has the built in DAC, bass and treble and balance on the CXA60, phono stage in the CXA61 which all rob power and introduce noise (at some level). The M2si is far better built compared to the CXA60/61 and will last far longer.

Thanks for the quick answer!! But truth be told i was more interested in the sound synergy, like was the m2si a more balanced match? Like maybe the cxa exaggerated the treble or bass a bit etc. Also which pair would you consider the most fun? Like critical listening completely aside but having casual listening and enjoyment in mind ( its the main reason i am leaning towards the bro3s ) because i read that the cxa is very fun sounding and am afraid that maybe the m2si is a bit more serious/critical. Thanks and sorry if i am becoming a bother !!

Thanks Benny! If they are a demo pair, you may be good on the extended break in period these require. If new, let them play for as long as possible before forming any opinions. Congrats!

@@theeverydayaudiophile4147 yeah so I have heard thank you for the advice. Yeah I was guessing at least a 40-80hr break in

@@BennyKsBandwidth I had them playing everyday for 2 months. They didn’t “wake up” until that time period was almost concluded. I’ve never experienced that with a pair of speakers before. Glad I didn’t give up on them.
