Manufacturer of loudspeakers, therefore, for more than forty years, the Triangle brand has many active and passive references in its catalog. The Esprit Antal 40Th and Esprit Comete 40Th references are passive Hi-Fi loudspeakers, respectively column and bookshelf, whose objective is to seduce music lovers thanks to an excellent quality-price ratio.
Triangle Esprit Antal 40Th and Esprit Comete 40TH, rare woods and premium finishes
In the first place, we notice a cabinet of very high quality coming directly from the flagships of the manufacturer, the Signature and Magellan speakers (click on the Triangle Signature Alpha link to discover the complete test of these columns by the editorial staff of AVCesar. com). High-density walls and rare woods (Rosewood or Blond Sycamore), internal reinforcements, not to mention the magnificent wood veneer of the boxes are all characteristics of these 40th anniversary specimens.
Triangle Esprit Antal 40Th and Esprit Comete 40TH, magnesium dome tweeter
Of course, we find on the Esprit Antal 40Th and Esprit Comete 40Th the numerous evolutions inaugurated at the time of the marketing of the original finishes in 2021. The tweeter therefore still benefits from a composite dome in rose gold anodized magnesium for a very high combined with reduced distortion and excellent directivity. FYI, magnesium makes it possible to combine lightness and rigidity. Namely, the speaker coil is supported directly by the dome for smooth centering and high sound uniformity.
Triangle Esprit Antal 40Th and Esprit Comete 40TH, cellulose pulp medium
Similarly, the paper cone medium benefits from a 100% natural cellulose pulp material and offers an excellent frequency response, especially at the ends of the latter, thanks to an advanced profile. Thus, the signal offers an optimized linearity, which makes it possible to restrict the use of filtering components and to preserve the sound purity.
Triangle Esprit Antal 40Th and Esprit Comete 40TH, ultra-rigid woofer
Finally, the Esprit Antal 40Th and Esprit Comete 40Th incorporate a woofer with an ultra-rigid cone, a mix of two wood pulps coupled with flax and carbon fibre. The latter, in addition to rigidity, is also there to limit distortion despite significant excursion. An oversized motor is present for perfect overall control and great liveliness.
Triangle Esprit 40Th, components chosen for filters, cables and terminals
The Triangle Esprit Antal 40Th and Esprit Comete 40Th speakers also benefit from particular care given to the choice of internal wiring, identical to that of the Signature series. The latter combines two separate isolated copper sections for a transport adapted to the different frequencies. Similarly, for optimal signal conduction, the terminal blocks are made of anodized brushed aluminum in rose gold color and accommodate the lockable banana plugs (see photo below). Finally, all the elements of the filters (MET capacitors, cemented resistors, air chokes) have been meticulously chosen.
Spirit Triangle 40Th, essential accessories
To top it off, the Triangle Esprit Antal 40Th and Esprit Comete 40Th loudspeakers come with a kit of accessories for their installation: a set of height-adjustable rose gold aluminum decoupling spikes supplied with their tailpieces, and a another set of rubber spikes for hard ground surfaces. Triangle even offers a Comète-specific loudspeaker support on which the loudspeakers can be screwed. The latter can also be weighted to absorb vibrations. Finally, a cable grommet is present for discreet integration.
