Triangle Australe EZ Review: Cheating a Massive Soundstage

French three-way floor-standers with a rear-firing DPS tweeter that 'cheats' a massive soundstage - lively, detailed, and demanding the right partnering gear.

Verdict: Recommended - 8.1/10. Price: $4,999/pair.

What's good

Real wood veneer (or high-gloss) finish in 6 colorways

Glass pedestal with rubber damping isolates the speaker from the floor

Premium copper/aluminum binding posts - bi-wire/bi-amp capable

Heavy at ~40kg / 90lb per speaker - solid cabinet

DPS rear-firing tweeter for huge soundstage width and depth

TZ2550 titanium horn tweeter with mirror-like waveguide

Fiberglass woofers with dual ferrite magnets

Audiophile-grade crossover with copper coils and MET capacitors

Worth knowing

Treble can become bright/fatiguing without careful system matching

Demands 100-200W of clean power - not for cheap amps

Impedance dips to 3Ω - not the easiest load

Midrange can be slightly shouty on some recordings

Punishing on poorly recorded or compressed music

Soundstage depth feels slightly stretched
