Guys, some of you have misunderstood me fighting with Sean from Zero Fidelity. Not at all, we chat every day and we were just having silly fun.

Yeah Thomas! They sent me the Thetas for review and the Great with bad recordings still carries over even in the higher line. Email me we can talk about it!
Sean’s review might have held back... but the fact that he owns a custom painted pair speaks clearly!
I honestly love the look of these speakers. So modern and unique. Just got some Klipsch Forte IIIs in my living room and I’m blown away. I’m sure others have better sounding setups in dedicated room but me and the family are having fun, and ain’t that what counts!!!
Been saving for these speakers for a few months now. Honestly cant wait to finally have them.
Nice, they are so big they come in 2 boxes.
Have you heard them?
Edit : cause I know pretty well Triangle (I am French), okay they look gorgeous but it's not for everyone.
@@alexvikendi1768 Triangles are usually bright like Focal, this one does not sound like a traditional triangle speaker.
@@alexvikendi1768 trying to get round to hearing them in person but covid is making it a pain. From what everyone describes they seem to match what i want perfectly. I wont buy them till ive heard them but im a third year student so thats not gonna be any time soon. ;) Either way, if i dont i can just check out other speakers. Ive got my hopes on these tho. :)
Ps Thomas How would the Trio Genese vs the Polk Lsim 703 s???
I love adorama ! Stanley is my goto at adotama! Thanks for the over view !
Bass comparable to me lsim 703 ? at 32.5 pounds each 703 is grounded so nicely but it needs more sparkle or maybe a more sparkly amp lol
Those look nice !!!!! Me loving the EZ Comete geez the dynamics are exellent ! And the texture Best i spent time with,
I may try the KEF LS50 Meta nexted 😃
Blade 2 for sure. Everyone has reviewed the metas, we know they're good.
Hello Thomas, another nice review of an interesting speaker from Triangle. I have owned a pair of these speakers now for about 3 months and thoroughly enjoy them. I never thought I would enjoy a horn speaker but I find the Genese Trio excellent for listening to a wide range of music. . . never a bad recording (well rarely). I have no regrets about buying these speakers and I must say I purchased them based on Zero Fedeliy’s review on them! I”m glad your review of them is positive as well.
Awesome Nick. Thanks for sharing your experience. My taste is pretty broad and I do enjoy horn speakers now. Having said that, this does sound a bit different compared to the other horns I have tried.
I think it is because of the dispersion plug in the horn speaker softens the sound coming out of it.
I really love these speakers. I've had them for about 4 months. They're musical & engaging... I listen to Jazz, Classical & Pop mostly. Powering them with a Luxman 10Watt tube amp. ----- Mono Ultra Mk2 Streamer -> Holo Audio Spring2 KTE DAC-> Black Ice Sound Stage Enhancer -> Luxman SQ-N150 integrated amplifier & Emotiva 8" subwoofer. Also connected is an iFi Zen Streamer -> Matrix Audio mini i-Pro 3 DAC: that sounds good too.
how do you find they handle heavy metal? looking for that unicorn for that genre of music that are lively, exciting but not too bright as often heavy metal can have screetchy guitars that have been badly recorded or highly compressed?
ANOTHER FINE REVIEW👍
Aren’t these the ones that Shawn
GOT in his favorite color 😉
What a blessing to get speakers you really love that look great too😎
I would like to try them sometime and I’m sure they sound great😊
BTW they remind me a lot of B&Ws🧐
I enjoyed these speakers so much. Bought it when Sean reviewed it. Spot on with the review Thomas.
We heard so much of kef ls50 meta reviews, time to go for the kef blade. More power to your channel!!!!
Glad you like them!
Thomas, regards. Please ask Centre Hifi to review the Totem Tribe Tower. Encourage a local company and a great product!
Oh I am a big fan of totem speakers.
great video brother thankyou,,,, i would love for you to review heritage line up of klipsch !!! happy holidays my friend
I agree. I just got Forte IIIs and love them! But I’m sure anyone with the space and budget Cornwall IVs are even better!!!
Thomas, I never see Revel speakers reviewed. None of the people I watch (all of you) mention this brand. The F36 floor stander is beautiful in high gloss white. I’ve got then and really love them. If you like speakers that have a prominent top, I think you’d like them. They do let you know if your recording is bad.
Thumbs up! It’s a seriously good looking speaker.
Blade + Hegel H590 + 6pcs REL subwoofer (stereo & stacked) 🤤🤤🤤
Great review Thomas! So thats why you told me to wait for this video, Its made landfall in Canada!.. I am definitely heading to Centre Hifi in Brossard to audition these! Wondering if you've heard the Comete Ez? similar price, both horns.. pretty sure trio has better bass...cross shopping these two. I'll make sure to tell Centre Hifi you sent me.. also.. I want to see a blade review =)
Can you ask Centre Hi-fi to review the Quad S2 bookshelf speakers? There are not any RUclips reviews for these speakers except for Tharbamar, who released a very positive review. But otherwise, not many reviews on YT or written online. Seems like a great alternative to the KEF LS50, B&W 706 S2, Wharfedale Evo 4.2, or other speakers between $1-$2k USD.
Really good review Thomas. I like the way you have a dialogue with some of the other reviewers too. These might be the ones for me as I like listining to world music at low or medium volumes. I wonder what they would sound like with an all in one music streamer amp like BluesoundPowernode , M10 or at the high end Naim Atom ?
I know that with some class D amp, it did not sound good. We tested it further after my review. They sound better with full body class AB amps such as a Hegel H300 (The older smoother sound). Also with some tube amps.
Triangle is the music, i love the paper woofers, so fast so delicate !i have the first commete es and i dont change it for any speaker
“Sean reached out to me”. Sean feeds Thomas another review. But how long will the bromance last now that the student has become a master as well.
LOL!!! so true
I don't know who you are considering the master / or the student. Both love audio, I know in a position that both of these men are in, can cause problems. Ego, yes, people who are in the media, or in the spotlight, very much like musicians who make it BIG, can have problems. I don't really see this in either one of these men yet, but it could involve there choices, likes and dislikes, so on. Some people are gifted or natural's in front of the camera, they get their point across, without going into uncharted water's. Both these guys seem to like reviewing audio equipment, but 1, in my case, seems to get the point across without making the review tired, or, I don't want to say boring?? But, I think Sean, seems to me, to keep the review fresh, and not using more word's than needed to get the point across, about a certain product. This is in NO WAY a slap in the face to Thomas. I watch Thomas when ever he is talking about a certain product in which I am interested in. Sometimes it seems that Thomas get's stuck when trying to get across his view on a certain products positives and negatives or the way he feels about a certain piece. I don't want to discourage Thomas at all, I love listening to people who are interested in this wonderful and great hobby of Home Audio. We call ourselves Audiophiles, and this is a hobby in which we are always learning, new tweeks, new equipment, new companies. But it's a hobby that never settles for the status quo. We are ALWAYS trying to improve the quality of sound!! Never settle for less! Merry Christmas to everyone and God Bless. I'm close to 70 years old, I have been into 2 channel audio for almost 50 years. And I really wish I went to school for electronics ,I thought I was going to be a rock star! LoL!!! Peace!
Yup sometimes we get carried away with all the gear & the fantastic recordings that we forget to listen to the music we ENJOY.
That being said.
Thomas, man, review the KEF Blade2's! 😃
Haha, agree! Blade 2!
Triangles are notably SWEET and l had some bespoke stands made for them. Still in break-in mode…BTW, I feel the tweeter is actually a HYBRID as opposed to being merely a horn configuration.
Heureux d’apprendre que vous habitez au Québec! J’adore vos vidéos!
You review anything from Adorama? Hmm...I'd like you to review the Washburn Americana Series B175k 5 string Banjo for $1549. And when you review it, please play the song "Dueling Banjos" from the film Deliverance.
haha, let me learn how to play it first!
Jadis i50 or Hegel h390.... With Fyne F502 (or F1-5/F1-8), Focal (Aria 948 or Kanta No.2), Tannoy Revolution XT 8F (or 6F), Proac Response 30D SR... or Dynaudio Special 40 (orContour 30 or Confidence 20 )...or anything along this line. Thanks, Thomas.
I have only heard Hegel H300 and H200 and I like its warm smooth sound.
@@ThomasAndStereo If possible, please do a Hegel with one of these gears, man. Appreciate it.
Thanks for the review!
I wish you could review kef r series(r7/r11 etc)
I second the KEF Blade 2 review with Hegel H590
Hey! Do you think these would be a upgrade for someone who really likes his Klipsch RP600Ms with Iotavx SA3+PA3? :) Also, get a Cornwalls for review - if they fit into your home hahah :D
Thanks for another fun & interesting video
I had a question for you.
Can you recomend some speaker makes & models that are
'on the warm side of neutral'?
I know that there are a bunch if British manufacturer that have a rich but still a detailed sound.
I can't have Magnepan speakers in my condo.
Would you say The Trios are worth. auditioning?
Thomas, given the price point and being the replacement of the old LS50, I think the Meta would be the most interesting review!
Thanks for the review. Any plans to get your hands on the Fink Team Borg speakers?
Borg speakers? I have to read up on it.
I vote for the Blades. Love your reviews Thomas.
Need a series for speakers and amp pairing discussions at various price points, like system under 5000usd, under 10000usd, 15000usd, and 20000usd.
Always entertaining. You should ask to listen to the Triangle Deltas. The ones John Atkinson loved. He’s kinda my benchmark for reviewers.
Cool, eventually I will ask them to send me more.
I have the Deltas for a year already. Fun, fun, fun with the R8 especially ♥
(but probably too expensive in the US, unlike here in Europe)
That’s good to know. JA said they need an amp that can work into 4 ohms well. They truly met their 92db sensitivity rating which almost never happens.
Great with bad recordings is my kind of speaker for music. I like my new Monitor Audio Bronze a lot, but they aren't very forgiving either. I think the tweeter response likely has a hump but I haven't seen any tests confirming it yet. These are definitely a nice looking speaker too.
Recently, we tried it with Wyred4Sound mono blocs and it was not a good match. To get the best out of these speakers, turns out warmer amp sounds better with it else it can get a bit shouty.
As long as they never sound like Klipsch! (I've enjoyed their headphones, but never they're speakers. Never heard the old school ones though)
Great video Thomas. Thanks.
The demo sounded awkward, but I am sure it's not the speakers.
And review what? How about KEF R7s, or Q950s?
Thomas so happy to see a Canadian Dealer. To tell you the truth I don't understand why these Cie. reach out to you a Canadian to review products not available in Canada. I was listening to Jay review a product wowing a product wowing only 499.00$US what a steal. So I decided to buy it tuns out no sellers in Canada found one on Amazon 1200.00$ shipping not including + customs. Jay lives in GTA in Canada? Reviewers like Sean, Steve G, both U.S citizens review products that actually can be bought in the U.S.A.
My Question to you Thomas is : Do you ever tell these CIE. ( I am in Canada how can my Canadian viewers buy your product, Shipping discount ...something ...anything). I really enjoy and like your uploads but I don't understand.
Blade ! There are plenty of metas reviewed out there, do the blades pls 😁
I agree!
I got my set of speakers one month ago and I really enjoy them
Congrats! Enjoy them.
@@ThomasAndStereo is there any speakers stand that you would recommend for these speakers? These speakers are bigger than most bookshelf speakers and I feel like my current speakers stands have a surface to stand the speakers smaller than optimal
What do you think about them with electronic music, especially with house and techno? Have you tried to listen to different kinds of techno shades on them? Would like to know what do you think! Cheers
I'm requesting for KEF Meta. Blade 2 is a fantasy for me. I'm a down to earth person. If I win the lottery, I'll request for Blade 2. Actually, my ideal is comparison between KEF Meta and KEF Wireless II.
Hi thomas ,i saw in background focal aria 906. Do you prefer triangle genese trio over aria? I'm interested between these two model. Thank you
Years ago I owned a pair of Triangle Zerius 202 towers. Soooo sweet and sorry I sold them...
"Sean's mediocre review".
I am going to tell him about that :).
Hahaha, originally I was going to title this video 'Truth on what Sean thinks of the Trio: exposed!'
“The sad truth of Sean’s mediocre Trio review”. Click me!
There's a dealer in the Denver area---I was hoping to check Triangle (signature Thetas) out at RMAF this year---then COVID came about.
So what's next a speaker for streaming
Bucharest A500?
I have shortlisted this speaker/KLH Model 5 and Buchardt S400 MK2.
Personally I like Trio with McIntosh MAC6700, narrow sound stage, not hard on ears but still have enough detail to enjoy singer's emotion.
Yup, no right or wrong answer, just a question of taste.
How they perform against KEF Meta ? Is it powered speaker ? If not powered then which amplifier/ DAC will go with this better ?
i vote for Magellan Grand Concert from triangle for the test :P I would like to know what you will say about the "World´s best Loudspeaker" :)
Kef blade 2 should be your next review. We need to see something aspirational!
Great review thank you ! Did I see the Focal Aria 905 or 906 at 1:15 ? I would love to have a review from you of the 906 !
That is my 905.
Hi Thomas, I would like you to review a Totem tower, like the sky.
I actually did have the sky, very holographic.
Holographic is something I would like more from my speakers or is it due to the room? I had an experience at Codell Audio in Montreal, they have a treated room and we listened for both sides now from Joni Mitchell. It was a revelation, she was there signing in the room, I could pinpoint where she was. That set me in a path of research for better sound.
Please, LS50 Meta...
I've a Sprout100... everybody love pairing it with the LS50.
I need to understand if worth buying the LS50 meta or look for a used LS50 and save money for another upgrade.
Omg that demo! Awesome sound
Glad you like it!
One more great review Thomas, now I'm more inclined towards Triangle genesis trio. Can you comment on how are these speakers compared to Mission QX-2? My budget is around $1k for the bookshelf speakers.
Sorry, I had the LX3 and not the QX2 so I don't know.
@@ThomasAndStereo Thanks for the response
Hello Thomas! I have seen you tested both Focal Electra 1008 be and 1028 be, whats the big difference in sound between them? Can the bass be too much in the 1028? Its the midrange better in the 1028, because of a 3 way design...? Thanks J
Citing the Trio as not being as fast as you’d like is a bit surprising. I haven’t auditioned all the Triangles, but I found the Esprit Gaia II to be really fast. REALLY fast - which I enjoyed.
I think it is fast enough, just not to the speed of my 900 series Focal. However, it is not hat important.
The KEF Meta would be more practical (in the affordable sense), but the Blade 2 would be more interesting! Keep temptation away and save me money...Blades +1 (I could never afford them).
Lots of other people will review the Meta. Get the Blade instead. We're all interested in how the higher end stuff sounds like compared to the bests of $500-$5000. Pleas please please please?
Hi Thomas - thanks for the review and your - always entertaining - thoughts. New year resolution: OB speaker review - maybe Spatial M3Sapphire... [;¬D) Best wishes to you and yours
Hi Thomas,
Have tested the triangle comete 40th annivesary and compared them with trio even if trio is a horn speaker
You have tested it? How is it?
@@ThomasAndStereo hi Thomas, sorry the typo meant have tested them
Have you tested them 😊 not i
@@ThomasAndStereo do recommend the Creek Destiny 2 amp for the Genese Trio speakers?
how do you compare them to the BRO 2 or 3 Triangle Speakers?
Hi Thomas,
Did you tested the Trio with the front cloth on or without? Do you have any recommendations on that matter
I test all my speakers without the grill since my kids are old enough.
@@ThomasAndStereo are Trio worth going for if found on sale?
Or is the comete 40th anniversary edition better speaker for the price?
Do you think these would be better than aperion verus iii and tekton lore?
hey Thomas i have a challenge for you,can you put together a sound system thats loud and clear,one that you can hear all the individual instruments,that can be played in a hot loud factory for 24 hours a day,365 days a year,handle people fiddling around with the volume button day in day out,you can use anything old hifi gear or old home theatre systems,for about $100-200 aus dollars,haha good luck,im going to offer this challenge to other you tubers as well
Sorry no idea.
@@ThomasAndStereo no worries,for you info,i work in a factory in brisbane aus,im always buying gear to listen to music,its always breaking after bout a year sometimes less than a year,barstards on the other shifts keep turning up the volume for long periods of time,hence why i only buy cheap gear,was hoping you had a better idea
Thomas, you want to be different and make a splash?
Review and compare ascend acoustics Sierra 2EX and the new Philharmonic BMR. Watch you're views go through the roof. There you go.
When I come back, I will look into it if they reach out to me.
How does the Trio compare to the Bro 3?
I would never buy again a speaker that is ,,sounded,, or make an bad recording ,,enjoyable,, - For me its way more fun to sort out music and categorise them how the quality is, than a speaker, that makes every song ,,brilliant,, so you dont hear a big difference between recording qualitys. Thats the reason why i use Studio Gear since 3 years and bought now my new Neumann KH310A (+ DAC SotM sdp1000) - i dont see any way that i go back to ,,mushy,, Hifi Stuff :- D but the triangle speaker looks brilliant.
Really good point you bring up. Different solutions for different people. No right or wrong answer.
@@ThomasAndStereo yea, but when you visit some Hifi Groups 95% of the people just know the ,,big names,, and every other ,,exotic,, solution is not realy welcome (even if its sounds better)... Whatever :- D i'm totally arrive with my active Studiogear choice. I dont know if youre interested in Active Monitors, but would be an interesting Video for your channel. Comparison between an Passive & Active Setup... :- )
I did the oposite.. went from studio gear to hifi ans same.. can't see myself getting back to studio stuff :)
That said, I was at one point interested to upgrade to the KH310A. I still would be curious how that would fare against some consumer gear. Where it does well or where it doesn't do so well
@@entity279 Of course there is no right or wrong way. But i was disappointed from the Hifi Gear i heard in the past years and found my Sound in Studio Gear. I dont think that there are many Speakers in that Size of the KH310 that have the same Quality of Bass, the Stereo Imaging, the Details and flat Freq Response. But yea, a test between Studio & Hifi Gear would be very interesting also to show people that you can have fun with Active Studiomonitors and get (mostly) a lot of Quality for your Money
Harbeth 5HD and hegel390
Review the KEF reference 1 standmount for me and the Blade to make you happy
I actually got invited to listen to the R11 at their store. Reference 1 would be so nice.
@@ThomasAndStereo That I have not had a chance to hear. Another one that you should review is the Totem Fire 2, I heard that at the Toronto Audio Fest last year and it was one of the few speakers that impressed me.
I actually had the Totem Earth and it was very good.
Let's go! Give thomas the blade 2!
Rolled off or NOT, the sound is very rich
KEF Blades look amazing, but I will feel sorry for your poor back.
PS How would you compare the sound with the Wharedale Evo 4.2's which I know you also like a lot ?
Sadly I only have heard the Elysium and not the Evo. Sorry.
Also if I purchased i watch Movies also. What center channel would match?
Maybe this one? www.trianglehifi.com/en/produit/home-cinema-center-speaker-genese-voce/
email and ask them.
Would you consider these as an upgrade on the RP600Ms? Cheers!
Yes I would. But the sound is more lively with the rp600m
Also thinking about the Tannoy Revolution XT 8F :P Lots of good stuff out there these days
Have you Reviewed any PSB Speakers. Imagine Series?
No I have not. Last PSB I owned were the 6T
Thomas. How about the Trio Genese vs The Kef ls50 meta???
Good question, never heard the meta though.
THANKS GREAT REVIEW
THOMAS HAVE YOU EVER TRIED THE SOMG SHAFT ON YOUR EQU/
ISAAC HAYES LIVE AT THE SAHARA PLUS ELLIES LOVE THEME?
Need speaker stands for this speaker. Any suggestions? Thanks
Sorry, I don't because I use stands from the 80s. BBC stands. 24 inch.
can you review the Jamo Concert 9 Series C 97 II
Maybe next year.
Has anyone ever said, "I am an audiophile and I love speakers, BUT I hate music!!"??
What's a speaker for music haters anyway? 🤔. What's the most expensive music haters speaker and what's it pair up with to get the least likable noise out of music?
#DumbQuestionAskersLivesMatter
+1 for the blades.
Good morning Thomas
Morning!
Kitchen Knife?
How do they compare to Tannoy NFM 8 ?
Sorry, no idea.
Review? KEF Meta? BLADE TWO!!! BLADE TWO!!! 🤤
hola Thomas ! the bladees please
Do you think a 20 watts tube amp can run this?
As long you don't need to play it loud.
nice,...........
Looks like bnw 805 d3..
BLADE 2!!!
It looks very much like the B&W 805
How does it pair with Doge 10?
Not good.
If a speaker makes everything sounding great, fun and easy to listen to no matter what you throw at it I get suspicious. A dirty, harsh punk recording or a Hendrix tune shouldn't be sounding pleasant or easy. But that's just me.
Thomas,
Have you tried the Triangle Comete or the next level up Theta? I lived with K-Horns for many years, however, I have downsized and am looking for something smaller these days. Thank you for your ongoing work and videos.
Best regards,
John
Thanks, no I never heard those, perhaps in the future.
Is this a step up or two from the Polk LSIM703?
No, the 703 is about the same price so it would be more a lateral move.
please do the blades. meta's aren't going anywhere
Tried many speakers within last 13 years spent tons of cash to find a speaker to sound better than my Mcintosh ls360 but none of them did.it is from the 90’s but killed most of today’s 5 star speakers
Those are like $6k to $7k new right? So in today's money, would that be about $10k? The speakers you tried, are they $12k+ to compare?
