New Triangle Stratos range, any comments?

I could listen the Naia model of the stratos.
I would say : Impressive. All what yu expect from a loud speaker is there: detail, 3d , deep and controlled bass, dynamic. And this the entry model. I'm trying with a retailer to listen the Volante. As first impression I would say that considering the price they are very interesting.
The only negative aspect is that I found them not completely neutral. But this is just my personal opinion.
very sensitive anyway. I suggest a sweet amplifier behind.
One retailer in France whom I 'm in contact with, told me that he could sell 8 pairs of Volante in just one month as since he got the first pair to make listen in his shop

hope this will help you

I am distributor of Triangle in Peru, I have just received the first Stratos (NAIA and LUNA)
The new Stratos line has a different kind of sound than the previous Triangle model. High frecuencies are less bright and midrange has more body and harmonics than the older Universe line. The new tweeter seems to be an impressive design.

Against Universe and Space, you can hear a very detailed and sweet highs; bass has more extension and overall is a more relaxed sound.

If Celius and Titus asked for tubes, I don't think the same for these ones, NAIA and LUNA are more neutral.

Finished is a lot better, very nice biwired connectors!

Overall you will be impressed with these speakers.

Jorge, thanks for your comments!

I am a fan of the older Triangle line, and am looking forward to hearing the new models. My main complaints with the old line were the high frequency harshness, and the tendency of the speakers to produce very hashy sound unless the right electronics were paired with them. But, in the right setup, the sound could be exceptional. And, I love the fact that they are so easy to drive.

I didn't have a problem with the lower frequency response, but I know some people who do. It will be interesting to hear the differences in the bass. I do hope that they didn't go overboard in trying to push more bass out, but I feel the product is in the right hands as deVergnette(sorry if I mispelled it) has a philosophy of sacrificing bass to the aid of the rest of the music. He is a very wise man, and a heck of a loudspeaker designer, I'm confident he'll make the right move. Plus, I have a feeling the way he is going about it is the right way, number of drivers, along the lines of the Bottlehead Straight 8...

Moving to a more relaxed, full bodied sound will be interesting to hear. If the legendary speed of Triangle is kept in all of its measure, this may be a very, very intoxicating combination!
