Unfortunately, I feel they got way overpriced on their way across the Atlantic... The SW2 versions are praised in the European press for being MUCH nicer than the previous generation. I was very interested in the Cello and found their price in France of 6600 Euros to be attractive so I inquired about the US price:
$12,499 retail for the standard finish, and $13,999 for the Burr Walnut finish
I feel that is a ridiculous markup. It will be extremely difficult to get that much for them in the US market. I think many people shopping in that price range would rather get Revels, Focals, Wilsons, etc. instead. At, say, $9000 they had a chance but at $13k?? It is just poor marketing - it's too bad for Triangle. Oh well.
