I bought a pair of these in December 2021. I have them in my acousticly treated listening room and Love them. Hard to find for me at the time. I am a usa citizen, but have been living in Mexico for many years. Finally bought from a shop in Italy and shiiped to Mexico. My question : With only one thousand pairs being manufactured, O(I have #71 out of 1000), how can so many retailers still have them fo sale ?. Or am I an idiot for believing that it is a limited edition ?
Wow....that's a low number in the series and I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying them! We confirmed with the US importer that only 1000 pairs were made for all the finishes of the Comete 40th Anniversary Speakers and they say they still have enough stock to probably last until 2025. Basically, this means that each place you're seeing them listed probably only have a few on hand at any given time. The pair we reviewed (which we really enjoyed as well), were numbered out of 2000 because the numbering wasn't exclusive to the Comete or Antal Series, they combined both series with 1000 pairs each. To make a long story longer, this really is a limited edition speaker and not a gimmick...so I hope you continue to enjoy for many years to come.
@@soundapproach1972 Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. Two things to keep in mind (at least in my opinion) 1. I felt the need to use a subwoofer to get the most satisfactory experience. 2. Be prepared to experiment with patience the placement location in order to get the best imaging and sound stage possible. In my room inches from my ears, walls and toe-in were very difficult to nail down. But once I did, very enjoyable. And don't be afraid to have toe in a bit different on each speaker, depending on your points' of reflection for each speaker. ultimately each of my speakers were toed in aimed at the outside of each shoulder. Moving my head up and down slightly and or forward and back as little as 6 inches enabled me to refine even more, my listening position to obtain the "sweet spot". I have a great sweet spot, but I would say that it is about the size of a medium sized beach ball. So for me, listening alone it is great. but, not a large sweet spot. But when you "nail it" , You will know ! Great sound and incredibly beautiful in the dark Santos Rosewood. As you said, the packaging was incredibly protective as mine survived shipment from Italy to Mexico where they were unpacked and inspected , then sat for 6 weeks in Mx customs ,until all duties/ taxes and paperwork was completed., then on to me. For me , they are comparable to my Polk Audio LSi9 speakers. (20 years old). I recently rebuilt the crossovers in my Polk with better components, I still have a pair of the original polk LSi 9 crossovers, which I like better than my upgrades. Anyway, I love the Triangle Comete 40th anniv. as my as my Polk Audio LSi9's. Each have a unique , but satisfying sound.
I am not in the market for new speakers, but these look fantastic!
Appreciate the informative video.
