Does anybody have experience with Triangle Magellan Concerto (first version) driven by a Devialet?
I have a good deal on a pair of those but I understand they are difficult to drive.
Reply to myself, maybe is of interest to somebody.
D200 can't drive Cello / Quatour / Concerto from Triangle Magellan line. Spent a few hours at the Triangle dealer today with my D200.
Maximum it could drive was Delta from Signature line, possibly it can drive the Alpha also but was in a hurry and did not have time to test it.
Also, using the same Delta Signature speakers we listened to same music on the following:
1) DCS Rossini Player/DAC + McIntosh C1100 Tube Preamp + McIntosh 1,2kW monos on each channel
2) Luxman d08-u SACD Player + Accuphase Integrated E-450
3) Luxman d08-u SACD Player + Devialet D200 (with Luxman DAC)
4) Luxman d08-u SACD Player + Devialet D200 (with D200 DAC)
5) DCS Rossini Player/DAC + Devialet D200 (with D200 DAC)
The D200 was far, far away in terms of SQ.
