Thank you for mentioning low volume listening. I think this aspect of audio performance is way overlooked. Hopefully people will start considering and talking about performance at various listening levels more and more.
I have a pair of Triangle Comete EZ book shelves, the baby brother to these guys, (Utilizes the same Tweeter), and I gotta tell ya it’s chilling how great these speakers sound. I gave up my B&W 602 S3’s for these and haven’t looked back. These speakers really shine with good equipment and vinyl. I introduced a 10 watt tube amp, using EL34 & KT88 Tubes and you’d think you were in a concert hall. I hooked up a SVS 12” sub off the preamp and ran a 10 band eq in line from the phono out to assist with bad recordings and man does it sound great. It’s too bad more people haven’t heard of Triangle, the trade magazines and industry experts have nothing but good thing to say about ‘em. If you get the chance, give em a listen, you’ll be blown away.
I heard them at The Hi-Fi audio show in Tampa last year and was sold. The US Master distributor was displaying the line and I never heard of this brand prior. I came to the show looking to showcase speakers bringing with me several of my test / speaker rating music selections on CD and LP and after listening to them bought these speakers right on the spot and took home the ones right on display in their suite. Was able to negotiate a good deal being they didn’t want to pack up and lug them back to their showroom in NY. Highly Recommend !!!! At this point I changed my amp’s pre amp tubes to Vintage 1960 RCA’s and changed the output tubes to GOLD Lion KT77’s. I ditched the EQ and changed out the phono pre amp from a GoGrove to a DJ PRE ii Phono Pre Amp and replaced the phono cartridge to an Ortofon Super OM10... I run music in a direct mode as the artist and engineer intended it to sound and sounds spectacular. Amp is running at 10w per ch and these speakers sound great !
Hello from Peru !!! I had a pair of Titus EZ, and now i have a pair of Comete EZ. I REALLY love the Esprit series, and test the Comete vs Kef, Klipsch, Focal and Dali. With my Rega Elex-R, I will choose the Triangle a hundred times.
I support the idea of separating the comparision section and components matching. 1- This will make the videos shorter or give you more time to express your thoughts, 2- The title will be apporpriate for people searching for comparisions (and it's more click baity :D), 3- More videos for the channel = more favorable YT algorithm suggesting your channel. Great review as usual ❤
I still have a pair of Celius 202 floor standers from the early 2000's. They were Class A restricted for a couple of years in Stereophile. I've never sold them. Their strengths always outweighed their weaknesses. Great to see you review a speaker that is not well known in the US.
You sure nailed it when you described Triangles of 10-15 years ago. I owned a pair of Stellas and boy were they ever unforgiving. Forced me to rule out a good part of my music collection. Triangle is probably still trying to shake that reputation today. I then upgraded to PSB which was a step in the right direction, followed by Proac which finally allowed me to listen to most of my music without cringing.
I have a pair of Triangle Signature Delta speakers and they are excellent speakers. They have lively sound with tuneful bass. You can’t go wrong with Triangle speakers. Thanks for the reviews!
I also ordered the Delta's, but I listened to the esprit first, among others (Kef R11, B&W 702S2, etc.). However, the deltas are completely different compared to the esprit in my opinion (I know a class higher, but also different sound).
Always look forward to see what you come up with next! Those are some impressive looking speakers, I really like the aesthetic design. Love how deep the cabinets are. Great work on the overview man!
Was in Paris last summer and saw in there home country they are like Bose.In Department stores and all which beats having crap as the ubiquitous brand.There were a floorstanding pair strapped to thew wall in the fabulous Supahfly record store.Focal,YBA,Atoll,etc etc.Magnifique!!!!!
Note: In order to get both of the speakers in-frame for this video, I had to position em' a bit closer together than usual. For tips on placement and equipment matching, expand the description box and get your read on!
Interesting to come across this speaker I actually live about an hour away from their US distributor. I may have to consider these for my living room I have a set of the Buchardt on the way.
Great to see you reviewing Triangle stuff, thanks ! I live in Europe (fortunatelly in this case, I guess) and they sit no. 1 on my shortlist of speaker manufacturer to buy from soonish hopefuly. I do still enjoy good modern rock music beyond jazz , and Triangle looks like they build speakers that can also rock well :) I'm considering that the Signature Delta (retailing $5000 here) may be perhaps better for me.. Bit afraid of that rear tweeter of the Australes making good positioning harder. The looks are more refined on the Delta, as a bonus. OTOH, with Australe being the newer speaker, one would get some upgraded drivers ..
I heard a "Showroom" demo of these (or similar Triangles) and they sounded amazing on my (modified) 4" FR driver speakers. The best treble I heard on TH-cam speaker demos (also with single ended triode tube mono blocks).
Another great review Sean. I live in France and so have the privilege of being able to pick these up online for a great price. However I'm definitely tempted to pick up their younger brother the Titus ez to replace my elac uni-fi's as I would prefer a bit more dynamism and loudness at lower volumes.
Appreciate the comparison to the Fortes, and since I already have the perfect integrated for my old Triangle Celius, the Australe may just be the perfect upgrade.
I be interested in you doing a piece on speaker design changes from the 50's to today. There's been changes in cone material from paper to metal to carbon fiber, doped or plain. In guitar amps they talk about the differences between Alnico and other types of magnetic material. Back in the day they had big box speakers sporting 10", 12" and bigger speakers with 2-way and 3-way designs, as well as really complicated designs like the Sonab QA14 (which I heard and were fantastic playing Supertramp's 'Crime of the Century'. Crossovers went from simple to hi-tech with digital modeling. Cabinet materials changed from wood to MDF, concrete, plastic, I believe there are ceramic boxes too. The box shape changed to just about everything under the sun, spheres, triangles (at least from the side with my Spica TC-50's), to plasma panels. Bracing became more important I believe. Boundary effects and other acoustic problems came more to the forefront in designer's minds. Computer modeling made design changes easier to test. 3D printing is here. Interviewing designers who made these initial changes would be very interesting, including what audio will be like in 10, 20, 50 years.
So I’ve got the Bro 3’s with my Yamaha A-S801, I love the sound…I wonder how the Australe would sound with my Yamaha A-S2200 which is my main 2 channel setup?
I went from Bro 3 to Esprit Antal. Different sound. Esprit is more demanding in placement and pairing. Titanium horn tweeter vs sillk dome. Bro 3 has more warmish mid range and are actually better in tone and timbre. If you love the Bro 3 and want more I think you should go for the Bro 8.
@@xcvbxcvb2179 thanks for that. I am loving the tonality of the bro3 and am looking up the line. I've thought about 40th anniversary comete, but if I'm at that money, I think I want floorstanders. Looking at the Australe now, as they can be worked in budget, found around $3k for pair which would be the cost of the 40th with stands. I know you said the antal had a significantly different presentation. Any experience with the Australe? I hear your point about the bro8 and I believe there is a bro9 as well? Anyway. I'm looking for a bit more refinement and clarity, along with that tone and timbre of the bro3. Also just 'more' of it all. Plus I need a punchier snappier mid bass and upper bass that I don't think a bookshelf, any bookshelf, is ever going to give me.
Their bookshelf, the Theta, is very clear. Guess the rear firing tweeter will help create that spaciousness, it will give some reverb/delay to the high frequencies. Must be nice with a good tube amp. 😬
Zeros just reviewed the bookshelf version of these and couldn't contain himself he liked them so much!🤔🤔🤯 That's why reviews are like heads in regards to equipment evaluations. Everyone has one and they are all different.😝
I own Triangle Genese Anniversary and auditioned top line Dali, B&W and others before choosing the Triangles. Only Magneplanar and Quad ESL made it a tough choice. Will upgrade to Triangle Magellan as soon as possible.
Great review Sean! It seems no one ever reviews the classic line of Spendor speakers, how about reviewing the Classic 1/2 or one of the other Spendor Classics? Please.
Hi Sean. I have decided to purchase the Triangle EZ Australe speakers for a 2 channel system that I will only be using for music. They have pushed my budget some but I hope to get a good valued Integrated or Amplifier combo for about $1500.00 USA. My 2 choices at this point are the IOTAVX SA3/PA3 combo or the NAD C388 Integrated Amp. I need your advice because no Audio dealer in my area offer the 2 amp choices with Triangle speakers in their stores. So I hate to take the leap of faith on my own. I trust that the high sensitivity rating and the fast speakers of the Australes work well with both amps. What are your thoughts and what else might you recommend? I did here the speakers with a Yamaha S-801 and 1200. The 1200 is, at this point in time, out of my budget. But, to my ears, the 801 drove them well and sounded good. But then again I've only ever had Yamaha Aventage A/V Home theater receivers to compare it too. Much appreciated. Thank you.
Hi all,I am not an audiophile but like good audio quality very much.Today I made a blind test between floorstannding speakers.Antal-Australe-Color special edition-KEF-B&W 704 S2-Focal 926.The top 3 was 3/antal. 2/Australe and the clear winner was the Triangle Color special edition!I played the B&W 704 S2 back home.The color special edition even sound that level better than the antal.Never expected this because I went to buy The Antal.For who's interested the price difference between the antal and the Australe is not worth it.The Australe is a bit better,but not that much....Amplifiers used were a Denon avr 3400 and an Audiolab 6000a.Difference in amps=Yes,a stereo amp from 2020 is better,but just a little in comparisation with a decent avr.I went with money in my pocked to buy an extra stereo amp also because "all the internet"says that that is the way to go,but,nah,I kept my money in my pocket.Maybe a 1500 stereo amp is much better,but in this price range is't not worth the money...for me
Sean i use tape also on my floor for my different speakers placement Lol , Great review like always , In your opion would you say a rich accurate warm sounding amp would be best with these speakers for best synergy ? Just curious since they have 4 tweeters ?
I know this video is old now but I love it. I wanted to buy these things before you mentioned the breathing room they need. :( just not in the cards for my situation
Any thoughts of reviewing the new Goldenear BRX's? I'd really be interested in your thoughts, especially since you've never reviewed a goldenear product as far as I'm aware.
I love my older Triangle Niia speakers, want to upgrade to the Megallon series, but like you said, they are hard to find or audition here in the states.
Zero Fidelity I'm currently using the Triangle CELIUS Esw paired with the Perreaux Eloquence 150i Integrated Amplifier, what would your thoughts be on moving towards the Triangle Australe EZ
I keep seeing reviews that speak in terms of woofer speed. This bothers me because there are people who say fast woofers don't exist. I got muted and kicked off a forum for disagreeing. I guess some people have gained so much expertise they no longer have to consider mass and physics.
Hey Zero Fidelity, nice work. If you said it, I missed it. All products of Triangle, under the signature line, are made in china. That's OK, I'm just wondering if you can confirm that the parts are still made in France.
After your review I was curious to if they sold it in north America? I fond them in theelectronicdepot.ca but they're quite expensive. I thing they sell them in sale at 3825.00 CAD regular price 4500 CAD. Great review as usual, thanks.
Also, it's amazing how many people don't know how to pronounce the name of the speaker manufacturer. It's TREE-Angle, you know, because they're French..lol. He's such an American.
When in Rome, speak American gdammit! Hahah Find me a French-man that worries about American pronunciations and then I'll call it "pear-E" instead of "pear-iss"
The Double Impact seems a bit directional. I wonder if these are as directional? We need larger waveguides and coaxial speakers. I swear, even at a distance things sound slightly off when sound is coming from multiple drivers, when a person singing doesn't have two mouths 6in apart.
They're not that common in EU either. Out of 4 hi-fi stores I go to in Milan area only one had them. The sound is too forward IMO, specially so for european taste. We like the british sound in speakers more.
Thats the strange thing about Triangles , they are detailed , but it is reasonable forgiving for bad recordings . Of course , to a certain degree ... But Triangle makes great sounding speakers imho .
He is actually right. They are detailed but not 100% tonally accurat. Instruments don't sound exactly what they sound in real life. They also play very slightly out of key. Could be a phase issue. 99% of ordinary listners Will never hear or bother about this. Borea are redicuolus accurat and tonally excellent. For a fraction of the price.
Not familiar with the speaker name. There was a turntable back in the day called a Pink Triangle. Just j-unk, but most were with few exceptions. Don’t expect to run down and snatch a pair, but the dead cabinet acoustics are a plus. I was expecting something more than paper as driver material in this price range. Oh well!
@StringerNews1 pink triangle was an English turntable manufacturer, triangle loudspeakers are French manufacturers, both totally different manufacturers.
Are you sure the company name isn't pronounced "S-pre"? the speakers model could be pronounced "Aus-tral" or "Aus-tral-yea". Can anyone who speaks French comment on pronunciation? EZ is probably "E-Zed"
The pronounciation of translate.google is accurate and I would pronounce "EZ" as two separate letters because "ez" is not a word, more some sort of acronym. If you want to pronounce it like a French : translate.google.com/?hl=fr#view=home&op=translate&sl=fr&tl=en&text=Triangle%20Esprit%20Australe%20E%20Z (click on the small speaker icon, do not change the spelling). I'm French. Triangle, Focal, Cabasse, Elipson are our loudspeakers main manufacturers. When you negotiate, those same speakers are about 2000 US$ (converted from euro), depending on the external finishes that are not at the same price.
Okay now as pro you may need to check pronunciations occasionally. esprit [əsˈprē] NOUN the quality of being lively, vivacious or witty. Just do not pronounce the "T: and the i is pronounced as an hard e. You may want another pair from this maker in the future and the French do not suffer faux pas with their language well. You probably took Spanish not French in school, right?
Thank you for mentioning low volume listening. I think this aspect of audio performance is way overlooked. Hopefully people will start considering and talking about performance at various listening levels more and more.

Man, that vire terminal on the back is a work of art!❤ Makes Klipsch's etc.look like radio shack...

I love my older Triangle Niia speakers, want to upgrade to the Megallon series, but like you said, they are hard to find or audition here in the states.
Aside from tonality matching, do they favor tubes or solid state amplification? triangle towers in general.

They've stolen my heart
Any chance you get to review Triangle Borea 08 which their budget flagship floorstanding ? I have not been able to find any video or written reviews.
I see that you have a Luxman SQ-N150 in the frame. How did it match the EZs? Did it have enough power for them?
Can you talk about your diffuser sometime?
You can only comment and compare on the sound of all these different speakers if you were to sample them in the same room.

Find me a French-man that worries about American pronunciations and then I'll call it "pear-E" instead of "pear-iss"
Did you say the back tweeter is wired in phase...sure it's not out of phase would be more sense
only speak and the sound test not?
Hi, Zero Fidelity, is this model 'Esprit' made in France or China?
Designed by Triangle in France, Assembled in China.
@@G3ckQ 😪
It's made by humans, yes.
For the price I still prefer the double impacts over these.
The Double Impact seems a bit directional. I wonder if these are as directional?
We need larger waveguides and coaxial speakers. I swear, even at a distance things sound slightly off when sound is coming from multiple drivers, when a person singing doesn't have two mouths 6in apart.
hi , since over 40 years !!! not 30...Triangle was born in Fance in1980.By , a guy from France.
The T is silent in French.
Esprit, Espree. I think I agree
...riangle??
😉
They're not that common in EU either. Out of 4 hi-fi stores I go to in Milan area only one had them. The sound is too forward IMO, specially so for european taste. We like the british sound in speakers more.
How can they be not accurate, but have detail? Just trying to understand the lingo
Thats the strange thing about Triangles , they are detailed , but it is reasonable forgiving for bad recordings . Of course , to a certain degree ... But Triangle makes great sounding speakers imho .
How's the sound ? No sample? It would validate your thoughts...let the listener " see " what you say, thanks.
👍🏼
Bud, please stop lighting yourself from underneath. Feel free to give me a shout as I'd love to give you a few basic lighting tips.
I have heard of triangle turntables not speakers.
Pink triangle turntables were English manufacturers where as triangle loudspeakers are a French loudspeaker manufacturer.
MAGNEPAN is the top selling High end speaker brand more 200,000 pairs have been sold.
I you want accuracy, these are not for you but if you want detail these are for you. lol
He is actually right. They are detailed but not 100% tonally accurat. Instruments don't sound exactly what they sound in real life. They also play very slightly out of key. Could be a phase issue. 99% of ordinary listners Will never hear or bother about this.
Borea are redicuolus accurat and tonally excellent. For a fraction of the price.
Not familiar with the speaker name. There was a turntable back in the day called a Pink Triangle. Just j-unk, but most were with few exceptions. Don’t expect to run down and snatch a pair, but the dead cabinet acoustics are a plus. I was expecting something more than paper as driver material in this price range. Oh well!
@StringerNews1 pink triangle was an English turntable manufacturer, triangle loudspeakers are French manufacturers, both totally different manufacturers.
Are you sure the company name isn't pronounced "S-pre"? the speakers model could be pronounced "Aus-tral" or "Aus-tral-yea". Can anyone who speaks French comment on pronunciation?
EZ is probably "E-Zed"
The pronounciation of translate.google is accurate and I would pronounce "EZ" as two separate letters because "ez" is not a word, more some sort of acronym. If you want to pronounce it like a French : translate.google.com/?hl=fr#view=home&op=translate&sl=fr&tl=en&text=Triangle%20Esprit%20Australe%20E%20Z (click on the small speaker icon, do not change the spelling).
I'm French. Triangle, Focal, Cabasse, Elipson are our loudspeakers main manufacturers. When you negotiate, those same speakers are about 2000 US$ (converted from euro), depending on the external finishes that are not at the same price.
Not for BBC dip lovers. Le son français 😊
Esprit you say ? Put your hands away !
Duuude! It's pronounced Espree.
Oui, oui or perhaps Wii, Wii and of course we, we agree.
True dat. And just for the record... “funnily” is not a word. Thanks Sean for another nice review.
S pree (esprit)
Hey friendly tip, it’s pronounced “eh-spear” not eh-spur-it
BRU, have you even been to Europe? lol
Yes, he have.
My grandparents were all from there. They loved it so much, they got on a boat and sailed away. Forever 😜

Okay now as pro you may need to check pronunciations occasionally. esprit [əsˈprē]
NOUN
the quality of being lively, vivacious or witty.
Just do not pronounce the "T: and the i is pronounced as an hard e.
You may want another pair from this maker in the future and the French
do not suffer faux pas with their language well.
You probably took Spanish not French in school, right?
