Hi-Fi Bookshelf Speaker - 40th Anniversary Comète

The Comète bookshelf speaker has seduced generations of audiophiles with its spacious sound and incredible delivery of lower frequencies. This 40th Anniversary Edition follows the same principles and benefits from the latest optimizations of the Antal model.

It features new rose gold anodized magnesium dome tweeter, offering high efficiency and controlled distortion. Magnesium combines two desired qualities: lightness and rigidity. It also has a new midrange/bass driver in natural cellulose paper, this time with an engine and suspensions adapted for a wider spectrum of sound. Clarity, details of the vocal range, and incredible delivery of lower frequencies are its main qualities.

Each speaker integrates an accessory kit with various adaptable spikes to be used depending on your flooring. They enable decoupling by eliminating unwanted vibrations; so only the sound quality remains.
The 40th Anniversary Edition has been designed and developed with thoroughness to offer you an exceptional music experience. With its dedicated speaker stand, the S04 40th Anniversary, this speaker will be perfect for rooms smaller than 25m2.

French Craftsmanship

For the past 40 years, TRIANGLE has been designing and assembling its prestigious speakers in our workshop in Soissons. The team of engineers is working closely with production, thus ensuring unparalleled manufacturing quality and compliance with very precise and detailed specifications.

TRIANGLE’s traditional craftsmanship is based on our employees’ long experience, some of whom have been with the company for more than 35 years. The different components are controlled and carefully assembled, to achieve the utmost finish and acoustic quality.

Each speaker is subject to strict acoustic controls. Measurements in an anechoic chamber and a numbered certificate of authenticity ensure the uniqueness of the loudspeakers produced in the factory.

New finishes

RARE WOOD VARIETY & PINK ALUMINUM

Three new shades of wood add undeniable elegance to this 40th Anniversary Edition. The various tints and wood grains of the Santos rosewood are enhanced by a glossy finish for a unique look with enchanting reflections. The blond Sycamore shade seduces by its elegance and serenity. Adorned with a single layer of mat varnish, the material and nature of the wood take center stage. And the golden oak is authentic and slightly honey-colored wood.

A subtle rose gold anodization of the speaker’s trim rings completes this limited edition.

A noble & unique product, reflecting the quality of TRIANGLE.

Dedicated Speaker Stands

Optimized acoustic seal

The S04 40th Anniversary speaker stand will be perfect for the Comète 40th speakers. The speaker can be screwed to the stand for more rigidity, decoupling will then be done at the base, following the same principle as the Antal 40th.

The stand can also be filled to better absorb vibrations. It includes cable routing at the rear for harmonious and discreet integration.

DECOUPLING SPIKES

Two sets of decoupling spikes: the first one in rose gold aluminum, adjustable in height and provided with lock nuts for surfaces like carpets, and the second one in rubber for more rigid surfaces.

These accessories enable decoupling by significantly reducing the transmission of unwanted vibrations to the floor, thus improving the listening experience.

Overall Score 89/100

Nicely Roasted

Triangle Esprit 40th - Comète 40th delivers an intoxicating, forward yet refined midrange with exceptionally natural vocals and a lively, rhythmic drive praised by Diego Estan and Alan Sircom. The new magnesium-horn tweeter adds airy, controlled highs and fast dynamics; low-end extension is tighter than some peers but timing and imaging are standout qualities.

The Audio Beatnik

"This was truly outstanding vocal performance."

SoundStage Solo

"The Comète has the same intoxicating, attention-grabbing midrange that combines detail with silky smoothness, but it possesses a more refined, neutral, and balanced treble that, unlike the BR03, never sounded bright or etched."

The Ear

"the Comètes’ strongest point is their timing ability."

hi-fi+

"The Triangle Comète 40th Anniversary is perhaps the perfect flag-carrier of the phrase “life begins at 40” because the first thing anyone says about the loudspeakers is ‘they’re lively.’"

What Hi-Fi

"These Triangles are characterful and hugely enjoyable to listen to if partnered with care"

Audiophilepure

"I found that, relative to 2kHz, the BR03s not only had 2dB more output than the Comètes at 50Hz, but also a measured -3dB point of 33Hz compared to the Comètes’ 38Hz."

Pros

Exceptionally engaging, natural midrange and vocal presence that conveys detail and immediacy.
Fast, lively dynamics and excellent timing (PRaT), able to play loudly without strain.
High-quality build and upgraded internals (magnesium dome tweeter, premium wiring and crossover parts) with attractive finishes.

Cons

Bass extension is limited compared with some peers; lowest octaves can lack weight and deep extension.
Requires careful partnering and placement to avoid sounding forward or overly bright in some rooms.
Treble can be a touch forward or spiky on less-refined recordings or with the wrong electronics.

Sound Quality

89/100

Bass

84/100

Multiple reviews and measurements report a lack of deep extension versus peers (measured –3dB ~38Hz vs competitors ~33Hz) and comments describe the lowest frequencies as slightly dry and light; midbass punch is present but overall low-end reach and weight are limited for this driver size/ported design.

Mid

92/100

Consistently praised across reviews for an involving, forward, clean and highly detailed midrange with excellent vocal presence and natural timbre (reviewers repeatedly note "reach-out-and-touch" vocals and 'silky smooth' delivery).

Treble

90/100

New magnesium-dome, horn-loaded tweeter yields airy, detailed highs with good decay and controlled directivity; a few reviewers noted a slight upper-mid/low-treble presence on some recordings but overall the top end is refined and non‑shrill.

Soundstage Imaging

91/100

Multiple reviewers describe a realistic, three-dimensional soundstage with precise imaging and an open presentation; instruments and vocals were reported as well-placed and immersive in-room.

Dynamics

89/100

Speakers are fast, agile and handle high SPLs without strain (reviewers cite speed, PRaT and ability to play loudly), though impact and low-end slam are less pronounced due to limited bass extension.

Show Less

Build Quality

93/100

High-quality construction: thick HDF panels, added bracing, French manufacture, premium finishes and well-chosen crossover parts (air coils, metallised film caps) are repeatedly highlighted; rose-gold accents and fit/finish received strong praise.

Features Connectivity

80/100

Passive bookshelf baseline applied: single pair of high-quality five-way binding posts; no bi-wire/bi-amp or DSP—baseline score per passive rules.

Value for Money

91/100

Reviewers call the 40th Anniversary Comète a strong value at its asking price (MSRP cited ~$2,500 / £1,500), with several saying it punches above its price and is a 'must‑hear' or 'bargain' given midrange performance and build quality.
