Triangle Titus 202 or Triangle Comete ES?

I was looking to acquire a tube amp to run the Titus with as a first foray into lower power tube amps, but the unexpected spectacular results currently with the Bel Canto c5i put that on the back burner again now for the foreseeable future. C5i is delivering the best sound ever with them and its small, versatile, easy to use and maintain and very good for the power bill to boot. I could not be happier.  A tad more meat on the bones in the low end maybe but my much bigger main system gives me that when called for.

An update on my Triangle Titus setup.

These days in same room, on good quality Dynaudio stands, no sub, and running off newer Bel Canto c5i the sound is finally back at the very highest levels that I have heard with these in the past, perhaps best ever overall. Bass is rolled off of course as always with these tiny things but best ever with them now and surprisingly satisfying even in the fairly large and open family room/kitchen area.

I was considering adding a sub again here eventually but have never lost sight of larger Cometes either and those continue to have appeal especially after revisiting this thread. Thanks.

I also tried my Dynaudio Contours again in this setup and similar excellent results there but higher efficiency of Titus is a boon in this setup given c5i is only 60 very high quality watts per channel, about 1/3 of what I had there prior.

Interesting info. Thanks.

I've enjoyed my Titus XS now for many years and have often thought about trying other larger Triangle models.

Their versatility and cost effectiveness is tough to beat!

"Mapman, your speaker placement with the Titus has to be one of the greater examples of their versatility!"

That's a very polite way to put it!

That system is designed mainly for WAF, not optimal configuration, obviously. But it still sounds damn good! I am actually quite proud of how it both looks and sounds and the value that it represents.

I've had the Triangles stand mounted in a more proper configuration as well where they first demonstrated their world class (IMHO) imaging prowess and overall abilities at lower volumes. They convinced me that box designs could be a reasonable option to planars (I also owned Magnepans at the time).
