B&W 803S vs Triangle Cello SW2


Hi,

Does anybody compared these speakers?
I heard both but not in direct comparison.
Thanks.

P.S : sorry for my bad English. I'm French and, as you know, French people don't know how to speak English (but Japanese are worse than us ;o) )

Very different sound.You should find them and even at different stores take a listen.ZThink 803 will have more weight and authority Triangle is faster and mayube a bit more pitch accurate.Neither of them go deep enough to play Qrgan fndumentals but will with a good fast servo sub would be verything you needed.But both will p;lay within 2 or 3 db of the low note on an elctraic bass so don't NEED a sub.The Triangle will not need near the power the b&W will-the 803 might be 90db sensitive but goes very low io impedance dips so you need 200 better 300 watts.You should go take a listen.Why not Cabasse or JM Labs from France?Make great speakers in your country as well.

Thanks for your answer Chazz. I totally agree when you say that triangle is faster and B&W have more weight and authority. Maybe 803S needs bigger room than Triangle, don't you think? Triangle's midrange is beautifull. I think Cello needs big power amp to give their best. First time I heard Cello, it was with Neodio amp and Droplet 5.0 CD player. I think Neodio amp is not enough powerfull to drive correctly Cello speakers. Second time, it was with Harman/Kardon Signature 1.5 and Primare CD31 and It was really better than the first time. With which electronics did you heard this two pairs of speakers?

Thanks.
Yesterday I heard Triangle Magellan Quator SW2 with Mc Intosh amp and preamp and Audio Aero Prima CD player. Really great speakers ! Voices are beautiful, bass are really fast and good. The music is alive with these speakers. For Chazz, I don't like JM LAB. I heard 1027 Be and I was really disappointed. I also heard Cabasse Altura Bahia : good speakers but I prefer Triangle's sound.
