Thank you Mark. I really enjoyed learning about your experiences 😊👍

That is great. Thank you for sharing your experience 😊👍

Still have mine new in the box, saving up for the amplifier though..not a big fan of tube amps but I've read that these will sound best on tubes.

@@Finn_2187_Binks same here, ive heard decent things about kinki studio lately, but they dont have a representitive locally in my country, id have to look into searching for an amplifier for quite a while it seems :)

@@Finn_2187_Binks ive bought the speakers first, and still have them in the box, although my quest for amps is moreso about getting them as neutral as possible, since in my subjective opinion id like the speakers themselves to color the music the most, and then the other components coloring hopefully to a minimum. ive seen though that throughout journeys in audio peoples opinion changes, thats what makes the hobby so much fun in my opinion :)

Cool 😎

Thank you Hrvoje. Much appreciated. I like that idea of two systems for different moods 👍😊👍

I got a pair of the 40th: #288. Simply put, they sound spectacular!

Thank you my friend 😊👍👍

Thank you Wolf. We are doing well. Great to learn about your experiences 😊👍

Thank you Mitch. That is very kind and greatly appreciated 👍😊👍

You are spot on, well said. No BS waffling, interesting what age and experience teaches you and how to respond and ask a question precisely & positively. I wish there were many more like you out there. I am even further from the source than you are English not my native language, but the internet is an amazing media when you get to know it. I am in one of the once the best first world environments on the planet. (South Africa) Which, was dumped into darkness 27 years ago.

@@abritishaudiophile7314 Good to hear. Cheers.

I still fancy reviewing that speaker. I know it has been reviewed to death but I haven’t heard them 😊👍

Thank you 😊👍

Thank you Gökhan. Much appreciated. That was my intention 👍😊👍

@@abritishaudiophile7314 Tarun, you always tell it like it is, brother. You aren’t trying to be a crowd pleaser like some of your American counterparts. Things are way over customer friendly over here to the point of skewing the facts. When I listen to your reviews, I am confident that I am in good hands….Can you do a comparison review of the Dynaudio Heritage Special ??

@@gokhanersan8561 thank you Gökhan. Very kind of you to say. I am waiting to hear back from Dynaudio 😊👍

Thank you my friend. Much appreciated. You stay safe too 👍😊👍

Thank you Anand. I hope you enjoyed the review 😊👍

As you asked for I prefer the B&W sound at home 🏡…but many more in others homes 😍😍😍

Thank you my friend. Greatly appreciated 👍😊👍

Thank you for sharing 😊👍

Thank you Andrew. Many people enjoy the sound of Klipsch speakers 😊👍

Thank you Maurice. Very kind 👍😊👍

Alway great to hear from you my friend. I have hear some impressive demos with the Special 40s. Thank you for sharing 😊👍

Thank you Brian. Always great to learn from your experiences and insights. The truth, if it exists at all, is seldom found at the extremities 😊👍

Thank you for sharing Yves and the well wishes. Always a pleasure to hear from you 😊👍

@@abritishaudiophile7314 Hi Tarun, it seems Yves is another convert to the crossover upgrade school. Tempted to do your Proacs yet? I’d have thought it would make an excellent topic for a video. And it’s not as if you don’t have other speakers around whilst doing the upgrade. I’m just pulling together a parts list to upgrade my study system speakers later in the year. Go on, give it a go, you know you want to. 😉

@@markcarrington8565 Hi Mark, I am too fond of my ProAcs to mess with them. It would be interesting to do with maybe some other speakers I own 🤔

@@abritishaudiophile7314 Hi Tarun, it was a big day when I dived into the GR20s, however, nothing was irreversible. Having said that, I did drill a couple of extra holes in the back to take the third pair of binding posts! I can’t wait to hear how you get on and I’ll be happy to share the components I picked if it helps.

Thank you for posting this Alain. It is great to learn about your experiences 😊👍

Every word in this "flick" is spot on. Iw got the Triangle Signature Theta,s, wich gives a tad wider and deeper soundstage, for +twice the money. I bought mine used for the same price as the Cometes. If not I would have cried blood,, 🤬😂. The Cometes are a steal, if that soundsignature is what your after.

Thank you Micheal. We are all doing well, so kind of you 👍😊👍 The 40th Ann Cométe have great tone in the midrange, including with strings. They do a fair job with big orchestral works due to decent dynamics but would be better by some in terms of speed and clarity 😊👍

@@abritishaudiophile7314 This is merely an aside Tarun prompted by your highlighting the characteristics of speed and clarity. Perhaps this is why I'm such a fan of planar magnetic headphones for large orchestral works....and pretty much most things...

Thank you Gary 👍🙏👍

Thank you Paul 😊👍

Thank you Richard. Noting schizophrenic, just high standards. Wanting it all but realising that no system is capable of delivering that 😊👍

Thank you. You are wise to keep neighbourly peace 🙂

Thank you Christopher. Very kind of you to say. I really enjoyed learning about your experiences 👍😊👍

Thank you Pramod 😊👍

Thank you. It could be but the 40th Anniversary model is heavily revised 😊👍

Hi Spuddy- my opinion is it’s the Marantz that is not completely up to the task. I have the same speaker but use a Hagel H190 and the amp has a heavenly grip on them. Granted, a totally different class of amp, but I thought I’d share. It is also possible that subjectivity accounts here and you would feel just as displeased with my setup. If you have an opportunity to try something delivering more electrical current, try and see what you think.

@@cpg8000 I think that is great advise 😊👍

Thank you Ada. I appreciate you sharing 😊👍

Thank you RM 😊👍

Cool 😎

Thank you Ori. The support is greatly appreciated. I would like to get some Spendor speakers in 👍😊👍

Thank Bob. I appreciate the heads up 😊👍

Merci, Romain 😊

Thank you kindly. I have heard open baffle speakers but not in my home. They normally require a bit a space around them so I need to find one that will work in my room 😊

@@abritishaudiophile7314 a little trick I experimented with in situations where not enough room behind them is placing different materials on the back of the driver's, you can use various thickness of foam etc to kind of attenuate and slow down the rear wave amongst other things to kind of manipulate to different room size within reason, kind of an added layer of fun, lol, or faff depending on how you see it. Almost a little bit like tube rolling in some ways I guess, the product can be altered with various ease. As a family man they are probably not ideal though, kind of a selfish speaker in some ways given the narrow spot of perfection, lol, my eldest always sat in the seat where I had them set up for to be in best position, and the cat despite beforehand favouring a different seat.😂

Thank you. I think I tried it with the Trios and it worked well 😊👍

Thank you Tim. Very kind. In my book, all you need to be audiophile is to love music and care about sound quality. There are plus/minuses to both ported and acoustics suspension designs. The popularity of bass reflex (ported) designs is due to the extended bass response but nine times out of ten it will be less well defined than a sealed box 👍😊👍

That is good to know. Thanks Larry 😊👍

Thank you CD. Don’t worry, no one pays attention to me 😂👍

Thank you buddy. Stay safe 😊👍

Thank you buddy. I feel the 40th Anniversary had a more even tonality and better refinement and clarity over the Quartets. However, my room may be a little too small for the Quartets 😊👍

Thank you. I have tried but they didn’t respond to messages 😊👍

Thank you Wouter 😊👍

Thank you Bram. Very kind of you to say 👍😊👍

Thank you Stephen. They aren’t at the ATC SCM19 level of clarity. Depending on the sound characteristics you want and the accompanying amplifier, either the 40th Ann Cométe or the Amphion Argon 1 should do nicely as a second system 😊👍

Thank you. No plans at present but appreciated the suggestion 😊👍

Thank you for sharing 😊

Thank you buddy. My stands are 24 inch Target R4s. I have sorbothane feet under them. I am hoping to try some hybrid amps with the 1SCs this year 😊👍

I would try the Exposure 3510 😊

Thank you PR. We are all on the mend. I am hoping to review the S400 MkII soon. I will be testing it with the H190 too 😊👍

Thank you NC. Hope you are back to full fitness 😊👍

Great to learn about your experiences Irene. I am very grateful that you took the time to share them. I would also like to thank you for your support. It make doing this so worthwhile 👍🥰👍 My wife got Covid last year before the vaccination program. She was ill for quite a while. We knew at the time there was a fair chance that she was going to catch it. She had stayed with her mum who had contracted Covid in hospital after a hernia operation. Unfortunately, her mum didn’t make it. My wife was with by her bedside for two days at the end. Then had to come home an isolate in a bedroom for 3 and 1/2 weeks from me and our son, quite ill, having just lost her mum. I don’t know how she got through it. She is made of special stuff 👍🙏👍

​@@abritishaudiophile7314 I truly feel for your wife and you all Tarun. 😥 Iw been lucky enough to not loose any one to covid, even thou Sweden got struck extremely hard when kids came home fully loaded with Covid from February Winter Holiday Week in Italy and Austria, and we stood 100% unprepaired. Pffhhh,, tough times it was. 😬 I lost both my parents many years ago and we had time to say all the important things and "see you on the other side" ❤️❤️ I lost my oldest son to suicide some years ago, and that was a similair situation to your wifes,, to stand there totaly helpless and out of reach, unable to help. It took me years to get out of the chock, and Im still on psychofarmaca for the chemichal imbalance that trauma caused. But,, were all different conected in the junktionbox in between our sholders and it is impossible to fully feel another humans suffering. "All" we can be is the best we can be and that have to be enough, or we all will go totaly nuts I truly feel for your wife and you all Tarun. 😥 Iw been lucky enough to not loose any one to covid, even thou Sweden got struck extremely hard when kids came home fully loaded with Covid from February Winter Holiday Week in Italy and Austria, and we stood 100% unprepaired.

A dear friend of mine often says; Nothing makes me so happy as to make other people happy. I totaly agree. I say; Sometimes life fucks up beyond recognition, even thou you have carried it like the last drop of water in the desert. A simple truth that hits most humans that have lived. When the "British Audiophile" makes a new flick, its like Little Christmas here, and if a few words from the "admirerers" makes it worth it, Cheers again I say/write. It is of course easier to speak/write when the subject falls straight in to my own field of interest 😅. I do not envy you when you "have to" listen to gear that you dont like 😂. I guess its something like recording an artist or band that I dont like 😂. Anyhoo Tarun. Take care of yourself and your beloved ones. All my hugs and luv to y´all, wonderful humans. 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️ (please remember that English is not my native language, and it is near by impossible to find the right weighted words sometimes, or more than sometimes possibly? I can hear how much "better some of my friends can speak English, especially those who have spent long time in England as students. I have spent exactly 0 seconds in England or any other "descent" English speaking country, so,, this is what it is. Everything is written with full luv for yall)

@@IrenESorius thank you for your kindness Irene. It is appreciated more than I can express here. I am so sorry to hear about your losses, especially your son. I can think of nothing worse. It is understandable that you didn’t come out of it unscathed 💖💖💖 I believe one of the most important lessons in life is to be aware of the energy we put out in this world. Positivity breeds positivity and the opposite is also unfortunately true. Most of the interactions we have are not with loved ones but fleeting, with strangers. At little human kindness costs nothing but goes a long way. It is great the way we can connect with people across the globe these days and share our passions. Receiving comments of support and encouragement like yours makes doing this so worthwhile. Oh, and by the way, there is nothing wrong with your English. I am sure many a native speaker would envy how articulate you are 💖👍

@@abritishaudiophile7314 I am sooo with you on positivity breeds positivity Tarun. You reap what you sow most often in life. It is a true modern miracle that we are able to communicate with people that share our interests from all over the world,, people with different level of knowledge etc etc. I can watch world renown scientists whenever I feel bored or down on YT. I luv that 🥰. Loosing a child are harder than I can explain, but in the same time it could be way worse. Thank God for modern medicine. 👍‍‍🤪👍‍‍,,, 😅. I could be a parent somwhere in the world where theres not enough food and watching my children starve to death, or die from some fixable sickness,, 😰. I was living and working in Tanzania as a young person, and met living conditions there that formed my way of thinking for life. In the same time I have never met so happy people anywhere else on my many "travels" and places Iw lived in. Thanks for being a good human Tarun, and a damn good reviewer. Cheers friend,, 🍻😎❤️

@@yvesthomas2237 thank you my friend. It is very much appreciated 👍😊👍

I suspect I subscribe to that camp too 😊👍

Thank you Aleksander. Much appreciated. The 40th Ann Cométe should be a significant improvement over the BRO3 when partnered with your Brio amp. As always, I would recommend an audition before buying 👍😊👍

Errr... is the Pope Catholic, do bears s**t in the woods?! Massive difference between these two!

Prefer the BR02 to the 03. Try it :)

Yes Aleksandar. It will be a massive step "uppwards".

@@robertmarshall7712 Does Dolly Parto sleep on her back,, 😅

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I hope to review more Atoll products 😊👍

Interesting what you said about speaker cables. I have the Titus EZ which shares the same tweeter with the Comete standard version. I was testing the Chord Clearway X against the Audioquest Rocket 11 cables and I heard big differences. Both excellent cables but the more revealing treble of Rocket 11 won out and suits the Triangle speakers down to the ground.

@@robertmarshall7712 Thank you for sharing your experience. I am using XLO UltraPlus now and will try the AQ.

Thank you buddy. I think it is too big for that. I should be reviewing the Dali Menuet SE soon. Many be worth you checking it out 😊👍

Thank you. I hope to do just that 😊👍

Thank you Zoran. It is hard for me to be sure as some much time has passed since I reviewed the Trios. They are similar speakers in many ways as you may expect. I wouldn’t upgrade Trios to the 40th Ann Cométe. You should look higher up the range 😊👍

@@abritishaudiophile7314 thanks for you reply Tarun, Which other up the range speaker do you think will out perform the trios? And match the Cyrus one 😊 B regards Zoran

@@zoranjovancic9816 I would go amp upgrade first 😊

Thank you kindly. On paper, they should match well but there is no way to tell without trying 🙂👍

Thank you Doug. Great to hear about your experiences 😊👍

I would go with the Menuet SEs 😊

Thank you Mailany. Great question. Unfortunately, you can’t consider the crossover in isolation when determining the tonality of a speaker 😊👍

Thank you Lee. As you probably know, there is no way to tell until you try. Please let me know how you get on 😊👍

@@abritishaudiophile7314 Will do.

I have just completed a review of the Primare I15.
