We know what great music sounds like, and we strive to deliver great-sounding stereo systems that will make you forget your job and be glad to come home. After all, this is all about having Fun.
I have always been a big fan of Totem.
Triangle are closer to the wall, bison closer to the central rack, to be fair, you should make shure that the room gives the same for both speakers. Nice demonstration! I owned the model 1 signature and loved them.
That .ostlu depends on tweeter/midwoofer dispersion characteristics and also base output !!. Totem are best if set pointed straight since they have a wide dispersion tweeter with a more subdued sound cpmpared to the hornloaded metal tweeter of the Triangle wich are a more directional (beaming thpe tweeter !
In a test the Triangles are probably more impressive but the Totems are easier to live with long term.
Your comment makes more sense than any other on TH-cam...
Definitely less ear fatigue I felt with the Totems, just felt bit cooler on the ears even though nice warm sound 👂I think one thing I like about the triangles , could feel the power more. Would be great if Totems add bit more reverb and power maybe a bigger size speaker cabinet . I have the Totem Sttafs and they are nice but need to play more with them (placement or other things) as I miss a louder midrange
I had the Triangle Titus EZ and found the tweeter very refined. Returned it as I still preferred my Dali Opticon overall and I thought the QC/build on the Triangle , at least my set weren't all that great for the retail price, and I got them for a big discount.
Would like to try Totem someday. Not made in PRC is a plus, though you pay for it. Prefer speakers made in their home country and own factories.
Bad room for those 🔺️ '
I agree 👍, totally.
@trucchuong1726 they love power they drop down to 2.5 ohms !!!!
You need a strong amp to get that bass potential ' Denon PMA 1700 OMG what a pairing geeez it's blown me away I have had $3k-$4500 Amps that couldn't handle the 40th !
I own the Triangle Comete 40th anniversary which when matched with the right amplifier and speaker cables they reward the listener with a superb sound. I love the metal tweeters for their clarity and details which they produce. The Totems impose their sonic character on entire system...too much warmth and tonality regardless to the source amplification.
Which amp and cables did you use
It totally depends on your "ears" as to which sound best. Some people love aspects of one speaker over another totally on their personal taste. You have to listen to both and choose which sound best to YOU. ( Mike can point out aspects of each speaker that out perform the other and teach you how to listen for it). As you can see below, some like Totem and some like Triangle. Which "type" of sound is very individual. Which ice cream is best, Chocolate or vanilla?
It s true!
totem had a more organic laid back sound. nice.
Nice but not a good a/b - need seemless back and forth and best would be intricate sections played on one then the other over and over.
im searching for a bookshelf in the 2000k range im consedering any of these 3 triangle 40.s,martin logan 35xti or new sonus faber sonetto 1 g2 witch is on marked in about 2 weeks, what of these speakers is more room filling my room is medium to big and im adding a sub i will be seated like 3 meters of speaker my roof is v shaped with toons of wood.
I would go with the Comete’s for your space! Shoot me an email and we can chat more
Triangle 40th sound great with (Marantz Pm8006/ Intg 50)
Also sounds amazing with
Denon pma 1700 ! I been threw over 30amps with them '
Trust me !!
Thanks for video ! Totems sound best with that amp
Thanks for the info. My system is Marantz with Triangle, great combo.
In this demo I think I prefer the Totems. The Triangle has lots of merit but the mid range with the voice just seemed off. And the Totem seemed to let out some of the space that was lacking in the Triangle sound stage. Both would improve with a sub.
Totems... to my ears.
What do you like about them? Just out of curiosity!!
Triangles all day everyday. Anyway staying the totems owns them and is Cleary hating. And hasn't heard them in person. I mean come on. Those are 40th triangles are on another level. Listen in PERSON. Trust me. It's not close imo and they sound nothing like this video
Triangles are trash bro
Totem WIN!!!
naaaa dawg
Out of these two speakers I would definitely go with the totems . I can't handle a bright forward speaker. I currently have a pair of 705 series 3 as well as a pair a of 705 series 2. Even though the 705 series 3 is a smoother speaker of the series 2 I still prefer the sound of a totem sttaf that my friend let me borrow for a few months. I'm probably going to get something from the totem bison line. I'm hoping you will do a video talking about some of the differences between each bison. I really want the single tower but financially I think I have to settle for the monitor.
The Bison’s are quickly becoming a totem classic. Big improvement in my opinion over the Sky series.
I think the best bang for your buck is the Bison Tower. I actually prefer it to the Twin tower!
That’s what I was wondering. If actually the tower sounded better than the twin. I own a rel T5X as well.. not sure if it would be required with either
We got the monitors and twin towers in the showroom. Come see us to hear them!
If you like the bison try the forest
Good comparison. Lots and lots of rave about the Triangles. However I found the Totems to had a fuller, wider room filling sound. And that was the first listen via a Microsoft surface book.
Totem all the way
I have Bright Forward sounding JBLs and Paradigm Titans. I also own warm Yamaha and Mission speakers. The amp and music make a difference which speaker I'll listen to.
Different flavors is nice. Cleans the palette too so going back to another can be a fresh experience.
triangle definitively! organic and natural
😂
@@gdwlaw5549 what is so funny?
@@freekwo7772 organic?
I preferred the sound of the Triangles.
Totem easyer to live with on long run
@@christiantessier6599 Why do you say that?
@@christiantessier6599I suppose you had both of them in your system for a week or month ?
totems are the better sound here. Both are great sounding products.
The Triangles gave me the peak to peak details I need, they were more lively as a live performance and when you switch to the Totems so much of the music was missing for me......and I'm the person who wants to compare the Zu's ve Tekton vs Tribe towers vs the Caladan. Thanks & More side by side comparison please.
Agreed. Nice to see someone that knows what they're talking about
Good analysis!
Through my so so phone ,the Bisons seemed more nuanced.
Totem, much more enjoyable to my ears
Can I drive the Totems with a class A Sugden A21? On the Totem website, it says recommended power 30-150 wpc. Thanks!
I think you can drive the Bison Monitors with that amp, it’s Class A so you should be fine
Both sound good but I prefer the Totems.
Totems win
love the totem's , not so much the Triangle's
The Totems are phenomenal!
I own the triangles and they're some of the best speakers I've ever heard. You might want to listen in person. No way in the world the totems beat them
Totem me gusta mas.
Love the Totems. What model of SolidSteel stand is it on (SS6 ?)?
SS-5!
TOTEM ❤❤❤
Maybe add some sound traps in that room. I suspect that the Triangles sounded too bright in that room
A few more acoustic panels would definitely help, but I didn’t think the Triangles were too bright. They are a very forward speaker, but paired with a nice tune amp, they shine in all the right ways!
Tiriangle hornnloaded tweeter is more relaxed to rooms interactions since they are more directional with there sound because of there norrower dispersion
Definitely needs some room treatment.I have noticed a lot of Utubers with poorly damped rooms and still expect good results.
