B&W 803S vs Triangle Cello SW2

Yesterday I heard Triangle Magellan Quator SW2 with Mc Intosh amp and preamp and Audio Aero Prima CD player. Really great speakers ! Voices are beautiful, bass are really fast and good. The music is alive with these speakers. For Chazz, I don't like JM LAB. I heard 1027 Be and I was really disappointed. I also heard Cabasse Altura Bahia : good speakers but I prefer Triangle's sound.

Tiens tiens, un autre francais dans les parages! :) McIntoshes are an excellent choice for Triangle speakers. They compliment each other perfectly.

How many different systems did you hear the 1027 in? If you only heard them once, you cannot say they aren't good. It is very easy to make a speaker sound bad and many dealers are quite good at that. I try not to judge a speaker unless I have it in my own music room.

Yes I'm French but my English is not so good than yours. I try to do my best :-/ .

I don't say that 1027Be are not good I just say I don't like them. I heard them with Vincent and Harman Kardon Signature electronics. I also heard Alto Utopia Be with Lavardin IT (I like this amp) but association was not good. For me, JM lABS speakers lack something...But I have to hear them again with various electronics to be sure of my opinion.

I don't know how it works in US or UK but in France it's very difficult to test speakers at home before to buy them.

Do you live in US Arthur?

Hi,

I compared both speakers the last w.e and I chose Triangle Cello SW2. I love them :o). I'm faithful with Triangle after Zephyr XS, Zerius 202 and Celius 202.
