TESTS MAINLY CARRIED OUT WITH THIS AUDIO CHAIN:

- Triangle BOREA BR10
Let’s start with the modern and impressive Triangle BOREA BR10 loudspeakers, available in black (BK), white (WH), walnut (WA) and light oak (LO) finishes.
These speakers leave us pleasantly surprised by the presence of an excellent 21cm Woofer, able to completely immerse us in the music and not make us miss any notes at low frequencies. The latter are in fact fundamental for the sound to be clean and complete to your ear, and in this case, to complete the picture, the high sensitivity of these speakers plays an important role.
Finally, we find a good front reflex, which working in synergy with the woofer helps to make a dynamic and precise sound. In summary, if you love bass in music, this product really is for you.
However, we point out a characteristic of the sound, which tends to remain warm and soft, even when using more ‘neutral’ amplifiers; even if it is not a demerit, it may not meet everyone’s tastes.

2. Wharfedale 4.4
We continue our journey into the world of TOP loudspeakers with the Wharferdale EVO 4.4, which are presented with a more elegant and modern aesthetic, available in black, white and walnut finishes.
High frequencies? They are definitely not a problem for these speakers, which thanks to the presence of an excellent AMT tweeter reproduce a sound so clean and clear to stun even the most demanding ear.
The Wharferdale EVO 4.4 speakers are also equipped with Cabinet technology, which in a way makes them similar to the Elysian brothers, speakers from the same manufacturer. This technology gives advantages both in terms of aesthetics and acoustic technique, thus ensuring a sound of the highest quality and body.
To provide a general picture, we emphasize the sensitivity below 90db, which implies that the speaker needs more power to provide the same volume level as other more sensitive. This feature does not make them perfectly associated with all types of amplifiers, but only with those that can guarantee a certain output power. In general, in a domestic environment this is more obvious than in more professional settings.
FINAL VERDICT:
Sound quality: 9.2/10
Usability and functionality: 8.8/10
Design: 8.7/10
Price/quality ratio: 8.9/10
Price list: 1950,00€ x pair

- Monitor Audio SILVER 200 7g
Last but not least, the Monitor Audio SILVER 200 7g speakers, which are aesthetically solid and modern, available in 5 finishes: lacquered black, satin white, black oak, natural walnut and ash.
This product deserves a place among the TOP loudspeakers thanks to the absolute precision in sound reproduction, responding very well to high frequencies. The sound that comes to the ear is clean, detailed and dynamic, impressive consider also the small size of the product, perfect for every corner of the house.
Another practical note in favor is the speaker’s feet, which are adjustable according to the type of floor. However, there is a low sensitivity, which is why the product would require a combination with a very powerful amplifier in order to produce a certain volume.
Even the rear-facing reflex is not to be underestimated: although it is a rather valid alternative to the front positioning of the same, it is possible that the sound undergoes a degradation, especially if the diffuser is placed too close to a wall or another surface.
FINAL VERDICT:
Sound quality: 8.6/10
Usability and functionality: 9.4/10
Design: 8.9/10
Price/quality ratio: 9/10
Price list: 1900,00€ x pair
