triangles can be a little bright in the treble, so i would suggest a smoother sounding amp
a rega or a used older naim or hegel?
Looking for amp to go with Triangle Borea Br08
First of all, i’m a complete newbie with audio so please bear with me.
After a long period of research i decided to buy the Triangle Borea Br08 floorstanders. I had active speakers before this to avoid the amp search (audio pro a36). But the sound of the audio pro’s was comparable to my Harman Kardon Go+Play 2 bluetooth speaker so i returned them.
The thing is, i have no idea which amps work with these Triangle speakers and which don’t...
I don’t want to potentially buy an amp that has features that i don’t need, and which drives the price up.
I’ll give some info (not sure if this is of any help lol):
- i won’t be listening at VERY loud levels ever. Mostly at average/normal to loud.
- room is about 25-27m2
- i have a 4k tv (philips oled 803/12) with a xbox series x as the only device connected to the tv.
- i will use Tidal and Spotify for music mostly.
- speaker usage is 70/30 music/movies.
- Won't use a sub
I have found the following amps myself and was wondering if these are good for the speakers:
Yamaha WXA50
Audiolab 6000
Denon PME-600NE
Rega io
Can any of these power the speakers at all? That’s the most important thing i guess
budget is max €1000 but preferably around €500 or less if possible.
if anyone could help me i’d be very thankful.
Sorry for the bad English

Thanks for the suggestions so far. At least i have something more to look for now. I’ll do some research on the ones you guys mentioned this week. If someone has more ideas feel free to post them:). What do you think about the yamaha wxa50? Those seem to have everything i need for a low price but i’m not sure what the sound quality will be like...Will it sound that much worse than the higher priced ones? |
@rodd2 , I can without reservations recommend a used Ayre Acoustics AX-7E Integrated amp. I have been using one of these with Triangle Cometes for years. Great synergy! One of the last amps designed by Charles Hanson. The build quality and durability is exceptional. Very dynamic, holistic even at lower volumes. Fully discrete, zero-feedback design, very tubelike. Does great with balanced cables. No longer sold, but frequently available for around $1400 and supported still by Ayre. If you get one, spring for one of the newer slim metal remotes still available from the company.
