Not familiar with Triangle Magellan speakers but the rest of that Luxman system is bound to leave an impression. More folks need to hear Luxman.

French manufacturer Triangle presented at AXPONA 2018 its eight-driver flagship Magellan Grand Concert loudspeaker driven by Luxman electronics
French manufacturer Triangle presented its eight-driver, three-way Magellan Grand Concert ($70k) flagship with a pair of horn-loaded tweeters with waveguides and paper midranges—one of each rear-firing—and multiple inverted woofers made of a wood and polymer composite. Although the small room was not ideal for a speaker of this size and scale, these towering towers displayed compelling transparency, tonal naturalness, and openness. A listen to my vintage Decca LP of Gerhard’s “Libra” exhibited impressive imaging, spacious soundstaging, and a true sense of air between the instruments adding up to an ear-pleasing experience I was ready to relax into. What struck me most was how freed-up the system sounded, especially given the number of drivers in play. On a practical note, these tall towers come in three sections to ease installation. A pleasant sonic surprise, and a Best of Show contender.

audio bill,
I currently have the Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amp with the JR Corus preamp. I was told that the Luxman C-900u is a serious step-up from the Corus. Have you ever compared the two?

Rick - I'm still enthralled with the Luxman C-900u but have never had the opportunity to compare it directly with the Rowland Corus. Wish I could give you better input as to how they compare.

Thanks. Are you using a JR 625 S2 with the C-900u?

I initially paired my C-900u with the 625 (never had the S2 version) which was a great combination but recently moved to the matching Luxman M-900u.

Please describe the sonic differences between the C-900u/625 and C-900u/M-900u.
