TRIANGLE

Triangle has 3 new lines of speakers, the Esprit EX, the Genese, and the Magellan SW2. All represent state of the art speaker design in their price range. Triangle designs and manufactures all of their drivers in house so they can achieve exactly the sound they desire: fast, open, detailed and most important, an involving presence as close to live as one can get.

The new Esprit EX line incorporates the new TZ2500 tweeter, the result of research from the Magellan line, new ultra fast, dynamic and natural sounding midrange drivers, and new bass drivers that have more low frequency extension and clarity. The Altea EX and Antal EX are fitted with the new SPEC base for improved stability and mechanical conduction of acoustic energy. Three EX models are Stereophile Recommended Components, the Titus and Comete monitors, and the Antal floorstander. See Sam Tellig's review in the April 2008 Stereophile of the Titus EX, where he concludes, "Their in-house drivers are why Triangle rules..the Titus is a must hear", and the Antal EX where he concludes, "the entirely coherent soundstage went deep and wide behind the speakers... the Antal is a must-hear: the best affordable floorstander yet from one of my favorite loudspeaker manufacturers. It's also one of the most tube- and SET- friendly loudspeakers on the planet." Art Dudley's review of the Comete EX, also in the April 2008 Stereophile, concludes with, "the Cometes could have stayed here indefinitely, and I wouldn't have minded at all... Unless something better for the price comes along, I could see the Comete EX remaining in our 'Recommended Components' list for an awfully long time, if not quite eternally." For Home Theater try the Voce EX center channel and the Heyda EX surround speakers, plus a Meteor subwoofer.
