Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to optimize the performance and sound quality of my Triangle Antal speakers, I have an Advance MAP 105 amplifier.

Thank you dear Interaudiophiles.......

Best regards, Guillaume.

    Hello Guillaume,
    First of all, if your Antals are part of the 202 series, for me it's the best from Triangle in terms of performance, not much to do, you can enhance it with a turntable and an amplifier with a higher signal-to-noise ratio.
    Regarding the sound quality:
    First thing, decoupling point.
    Then bi-amplification, meaning you will power the bass and the mid/highs separately.
    You need to be careful with the speaker wiring and audio connections; it only takes one wrong choice of an element for the sound not to meet your expectations. It's also important to know that we don't all have the same listening preferences. For example, for my part, with your Triangles, I would have chosen a very audiophile Marantz CD player with a Nad amplifier that has a very smooth sound, a very open stereo image, ample and deep bass, reproducing all types of music in extreme softness, not forgetting the cables that go well with this setup, Real Cable, they do wonders.

    Have a nice day!

      Thank you for your reply, I’m actually quite satisfied with my setup. I have an entry-level Marantz CD 5003 and an Advance Acoustic MAP 105 amplifier, along with Antal series 202 speakers. All of this cost me only 500 euros. The sound is fairly spacious and the impedance has a slight lack of roundness but with a good bass response. Without wanting to touch my wallet, I was mainly wondering if there are any possible adjustments with my equipment to add a little something extra. I listen to all styles of music and surprisingly, electronic music sounds the best.

      Thanks again for your audio collaboration; I would be happy to exchange ideas again.
      P.S.: Don’t be sorry about my username, it’s actually my friends from the north who chose it for me.

      Best regards.....
