Triangle Comète Ez
Hi-Fi Bookshelf Speaker - Comète EZ
The Comete is one of the most famous and appreciated Triangle speakers in the Hi-Fi industry and the latest Ez Generation justifies this reputation. The Comete Ez is renowned for its incredible performance throughout the lower frequencies.
Its 16cm (6,5 inch), 100% natural paper cone mid-woofer provides a wide sound stage and powerful basses. The high frequencies are reproduced by Triangle’s famous horn loaded, giving a lot of efficiency and dynamism to the speaker.
This loudspeaker provides a similar listening experience to a floorstander without taking up the space. Using a dedicated speaker stand (ex: S02) is recommended for optimum sound quality.
The Comète Ez is the perfect speaker for those looking at a high-performance speaker with powerful and a reasonable footprint. It is ideally suited for rooms with a surface between 15 and 30m2.
Musicality & Design
ESPRIT Ez offers music lovers lively and dynamic sound without compromise. Rediscover the emotion of your first listens and let yourself be surprised by the thrill of the ESPRIT Ez range.
The latest vintage from ESPRIT brings a major innovation in the midrange driver for surprising sound realism. It also incorporates an improvement to its famous horn tweeter and optimizes its fiberglass bass drivers for even greater speed and transparency.
TWEETER TZ2550
A real TRIANGLE trademark of technology and performance, the TZ2510, is the latest incarnation of a titanium dome in combination with a compression chamber. This technology provides high efficiency with low distortion and excellent directivity.
Made out of 100% natural cellulose paper, white membrane is used to avoid any coloration. It is combined with a small pleat peripheral suspension to increase the emissive surface area.
Midrange driver
Special attention has been paid to a number of details in the development of the midrange: the profile of the membrane, the shape of the suspension, and the new dust cap, are directly inspired from the MAGELLAN project.
WOOFER
Fiberglass was selected for its excellent affect on the lower midrange / higher bass.An ESPRIT Ez innovation is the overlay of textile material and fiberglass, which improves the rigidity of the membrane. The speaker is equipped with a new chassis, which quickly dissolves the heat generated by the coil.

Sound Quality
87/100
Bass
91/100
For its size (16.5cm / ~6.5" midwoofer, front bass-reflex) the Comète EZ delivers taut, powerful low end. Reviewers note 'weight and authority of the lows' and 'taut, agile and grippy' bass that punches well for a bookshelf. Placement and partnering affect extension, but multiple comments justify an excellent-for-size score.
Mid
89/100
Midrange is clear and articulate with vocals described as expressive and easy to follow. What Hi‑Fi highlights 'excellent midrange clarity' and musically cohesive presentation, though a comparison to KEF LS50 Meta suggests slightly less refinement at this price.
Treble
77/100
Treble is energetic and revealing but can be bright or raw on-axis; reviewers warn the horn-loaded/titanium tweeter can sound forward or spiky. It retrieves detail but lacks refinement on less polished recordings, so control and partner electronics matter.
Soundstage Imaging
88/100
Speakers cast a wide, well-focused soundstage when positioned correctly; reviewers report good scale and imaging focus. Placement sensitivity is noted, but with careful setup the Comète EZ produces an engaging, spacious presentation.
Dynamics
92/100
Highly dynamic and punchy — reviewers describe an exciting, driven presentation and the ability to handle savage dynamic shifts (eg. Rite Of Spring). Triangle's design prioritises sensitivity and drive, yielding energetic macro- and micro-dynamics when paired with capable amplification.

Build Quality
87/100
Solid, chunky 40cm cabinets with premium touches like aluminium rear terminal plate and metalwork around the tweeter. Finish around some cabinet edges could be tidier, but overall construction feels robust and well executed.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive two-way bookshelf with a single set of terminals; baseline passive-bookshelf score applied. No DSP/streaming expected or penalised; impedance dips to 4.2Ω so amplifier selection and grunt are important.
Value for Money
83/100
At the listed price (~€769) the Comète EZ offers lively, characterful performance and strong dynamics for the money. Reviewers note rivals (eg. KEF LS50 Meta) offer different refinements at higher cost, so this is a compelling, but not unchallenged, value proposition.
