Drivers

One of the fundamental differences between these two speakers is that Concord is a 2-way design whereas the Borea BR07 is a 3-way speaker. 3-way designs utilize a midrange driver in addition to the tweeter and woofer on 2-way designs. Designing a crossover for a 3-way speaker is a complicated process and generally increases the overall cost of the speaker.

Driver KLH Concord Triangle Borea BR07
Driver Setup 2-way 3-way
Tweeter 1-inch 1-inch
Midrange - 1 x 6-inch
Woofer 2 x 6.5-inch 1 x 6-inch

Concord features a 1" anodized aluminum Tweeter and 2 x 6.5" Kevlar Woofer . On the other hand, the Borea BR07 features a 1" silk Break_in Tweeter , a 6" Midrange and 1 x 6" fiberglass Woofer with a Crossover frequency at 350Hz and 3500Hz.

Frequency Response

Concord has a frequency range of 28-23k Hz whereas Borea BR07 has a frequency range of 44 - 22k Hz. With a minimum frequency of 28Hz, the Concord can go significantly deeper on the low side and provide stronger bass compared to the Borea BR07's min frequency of 44Hz.

Power Range

Power range is the range of input power in watts RMS that a loudspeaker is designed to handle. While using an amplifier within this range ensures the nominal performance , inputting a power that is higher than the max wattage can result in a damaged speaker.

Concord can handle a max power of 120 watts RMS from the amp the whereas Concord has a max power handling value of watts RMS , 120 watts less than the Borea BR07.

Keep in mind that a higher max power handling value doesn't necessarily make that a louder speaker compared to a lower max handling speaker. Loudness or the sound level is also impacted by parameters such as Impedance, sensitivity and system efficiencies.

Input Type and Bi-Amping / Bi-Wiring

Concord features Binding post type posts and Borea BR07 has a Binding post type posts. None of these speakers feature bi-amping/bi-wiring.
