Triangle Magellan Quatuor 40TH

Magellan - Quatuor 40th Hi-Fi Floorstanding Speaker     Passive Hi-Fi Speaker Rooms larger than 30m2 2x Magnesium Horn Tweeter Medium Paper 16cm 3x Honeycomb Graves 16cm Admissible power 260W Amplifier Power: 80 - 500 Watts (8ohms) Double Terminal Block     Magellan Quatuor 40th Column Speaker Music like at the opera. The sound image takes on a whole new dimension here, filling the space with elegance. A 135 cm high 3-way floorstanding speaker, the Quatuor 40th is the flagship of the new MAGELLAN 40th Anniversary edition. Inheriting a new magnesium alloy dome, its horn tweeter gently and precisely reveals the smallest details of your recordings. The Quatuor 40th is distinguished by the addition of a rear tweeter allowing the speaker to radiate energy to the front and rear of the emission point. The sound volume is thus better distributed and the positioning of the speaker simplified. The 16 cm midrange driver with paper cone and small pleat suspension, a true TRIANGLE trademark, ensures a very neutral sound reproduction without the slightest coloration of the vocal register. The powerful and fleshy bass of the three 16cm speakers is perfectly suited to modern music such as a prestigious string quartet or a cello suite. Its proprietary Sandwich Glass Honeycomb membrane and its cooling system give it exceptional performance in the bass and sub-bass registers. Its extended bandwidth and its significant power reserve allow it to easily provide sound in rooms larger than 30m2.     DPS2 Dynamic Pulse System On the QUATUOR 40th Anniversary model, the addition of the tweeter at the rear allows the speaker to radiate energy to the front and rear of the emission point, just like a symphony orchestra would. We regain energy initially lost off-axis from the listening point, the sound volume is thus better distributed in front of the listener. The speaker is then more easily placed in the room and has a stable and deep sound image with a large opening without distorting the original signal.                   Glass Honeycomb Sandwich Membrane The speaker is equipped with a proprietary SVA (Sandwich Glass Alveolar) cone. This computer-modeled composite sandwich cone is composed of a double sheet of fiberglass with an internal honeycomb structure made of cellulose pulp. This principle ensures that the moving part has an optimum mass, damping and rigidity ratio. The loudspeaker can then withstand high deflections without deformation.                   Perfectly inert cabinetmaking The cabinetry of the MAGELLAN 40th Anniversary is the subject of in-depth study in a total quest for inertia. Its curved shape is the result of successive superposition under stress of 3mm layers of high-density wood particles, thus excluding any internal parallelism. This cabinet is characterized by a specific architecture born from a thorough study on the vibration phenomena and microdeformations of the cabinetwork. Reinforcements have been positioned at strategic locations, providing the best possible rigidity to the cabinetwork in the face of disturbances caused by the movement of the speakers.                   REVIEW & AWARDS Triangle Magellan Quatuor 40th Anniversary Loudspeakers | REVIEW - Read More "The Triangle Magellan Quatuor is a worthy flagship for Triangle–the folks in Soissons have created something special they should be proud of. This speaker has very few compromises and competes well with speakers not only in this price point but in the $25,000 to $35,000 category as well. It’s difficult to call a $20,000 speaker a great value, but the Quatuor really is a value. What this speaker delivers for its price point is shockingly good. After several days I sat down with the Quatuor and they said to me, “I’ll love you forever.” I knew I had to own them." - Graig Neville         SPECIFICATIONS Using the speaker Recommended room size The Quatuor 40th is recommended for listening rooms with an area greater than 30 m2. Find the model in the Magellan 40Th range adapted to your listening room: • Between 15 and 40m2: Duetto 40th • Between 15 and 50m2: Cello 40th • > 30m2: Quatuor 40th Amplification and Admissible Power Recommended RMS amplifier power: 80 to 500 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Speaker power rating: 260 watts * Speaker power rating is the average continuous power the speaker can handle without damaging the drivers. You can use an amplifier that is more powerful than the speakers' power rating by limiting the volume to 70% of the maximum capacity. Conversely, an amplifier that is too underpowered will clip and create distortion, which can also damage the speakers if used beyond its capabilities. Construction and Features Speaker Information • Type: Bass Reflex Column with front vent • Number of Ways: 3 • Sensitivity: 91 dB • Bandwidth (+/- 3dB): 33Hz – 30,000 Hz • Nominal impedance: 8Ω • Minimum impedance: 3.4Ω * The impedance of a speaker can be simplified as an electrical resistance. The lower the speaker impedance, the more current the amplifier will have to deliver. - The nominal impedance, called "normalized", is a reading at the frequency of 1kHz - The minimum impedance is measured in the low frequencies. TRIANGLE speakers never fall below 3 Ohms, which allows their use with almost all Hi-Fi and Home Cinema amplifiers.
