Personally I like the Triangle sound.
Never heard the Linton but I suspect they sound their sound has not much to do with the Borea.
Why those 2 in your shortlist?

Unfortunately, as with all questions regarding speakers you are really going to have to audition for yourself. Everyone will have their own opinions but they don't have your ears.
If you cannot audition anything you are on a loser from the start.

That's your advice.
You can't possibly let anyone else choose speakers for you.

BR08 is a £500 floorstander. Linton is a £1000 stand mount.

It’s not a very rational question. A bit like asking is chicken pie better than battered cod. They are not comparable.

I’d wonder why the Triangle are half price after just two years.

I read a lot of comments about both, Linton and Borea. As well as Linton the Borea is highly appreciated among the users and specialists.
In matter of price, the difference between them is just 150 euro. ( 850 euro vs 1000 euro)

That is true but I wanted some opinions from owners of one or another pair of speakers.

There were a few other brand on my list but after sone research I put these two on my list.
In my country their price is almost similar and both have positive ratings from both, users and specialists.
In matter of performance, both have their pros and cons. Aestethically the difference is a little bit bigger, Linton having a retro style with standmounts and Borea is a standfloor one.
I hoped to have owners opinion here.
