Thanks! They now have around 60h of burn-in...
Sure thing, Joe. Just give me a few days to do it like a pro!

French manufacturer Triangle presented at AXPONA 2018 its eight-driver flagship Magellan Grand Concert loudspeaker driven by Luxman electronics

French manufacturer Triangle presented its eight-driver, three-way Magellan Grand Concert ($70k) flagship with a pair of horn-loaded tweeters with waveguides and paper midranges—one of each rear-firing—and multiple inverted woofers made of a wood and polymer composite. Although the small room was not ideal for a speaker of this size and scale, these towering towers displayed compelling transparency, tonal naturalness, and openness. A listen to my vintage Decca LP of Gerhard’s “Libra” exhibited impressive imaging, spacious soundstaging, and a true sense of air between the instruments adding up to an ear-pleasing experience I was ready to relax into. What struck me most was how freed-up the system sounded, especially given the number of drivers in play. On a practical note, these tall towers come in three sections to ease installation. A pleasant sonic surprise, and a Best of Show contender.

Just get me those speakers and I'll deal with 'em! My audio room is 3.1m tall... I think I'll manage to squeeze them somewhere!

Wow, beautiful setup.

Thanks, Joe! I promise the next pictures (with the new gear in place) will be shot with my full-frame DSLR. I must also clean the dust a little...

 

[joeinid]

Looks great to me but we all sincerely appreciate the effort. Thanks again!

New photo but still taken with my cheap phone... I've also swapped the gray IsoTek Sigmas with a friends' black one.
