Tom Vu, the owner of TriangleArt, partnered once again with Muraudio to create some magic. Driving the Muraudio SP1 electrostatic speakers with TriangleArt amps and a TriangleArt vinyl system produced one of the most beautiful sounding rooms at the show.
The Speakers
Each time I hear the Muraudio SP1 Electrostatic Loudspeakers, I am more impressed. At only $14,700, they certainly weren’t the most expensive speakers at the show, but some more expensive speakers didn’t even come close to matching the sound from these. I would really like to hear one of Muraudio’s more expensive models some day.
The Turntables
TrhangleArt used three turntables at T.H.E. Show. The TriangleArt Ultimate LE2 pictured above was stunning in black. They were also showing and playing their new entry-level TriangleArt Hathor turntable. A brand new entry to the TriangleArt’s line, the Hathor is built on the foundation of bigger TriangleArt turntables and was introduced this year at CES.
The third turntable was their Maestro turntable at $7,500 that I reviewed earlier this year. They were also using their Osiris MK II tonearms for $6,890, and the Apollo cartridges at $8,000 each.
The Electronics
The electronics were the TriangleArt Reference Tube Phono stage for $12,998 and the TriangleArt Reference Tube preamp at $18,998. The amp was the TriangleArt TA-260S, a 2-channel stereo power amplifier that uses 24 matched, powerful MOSFET transistors (6 pairs per channel, 12 pairs total). The rated output power is 250 watts per channel at 8 ohms and doubling to 500 watts per channel at 4 ohms. It sells for $19,995. The cables were the TriangleArt Rhea reference cable system.
Final Comments
The overall quality of this system stood out, and even though this was a smaller show, they would be impressive anywhere. So, the next time you have a chance to hear the Muraudio speakers or the TriangleArt turntables and amps, don’t miss them. The dedication to craftsmanship is superb!
