Premium Bookshelf Speaker - Magellan Duetto 40th

Liveliness and dynamics are trademarks of TRIANGLE’s sound, and they are packed into this gem, the Duetto, a compact 2-way bookshelf speaker.

Superb piece of engineering, its horn-loaded tweeter TZ2900 is equipped with a next generation dome in magnesium alloy. This transducer highlights the finest details of your recordings and brings out the subtlety of the upper harmonics.

Its full-range 16 cm midrange/bass driver produces rich bass details. It features a new paper cone that reproduces any vocal register with great neutrality without the slightest coloration. The Duetto speaker offers a really clear sound and puts the music forward.

Its elaborate crossover, equipped with high quality components, optimizes the bass and treble phasing for an outstanding transparency.

This compact speaker fits perfectly in rooms of less than 30m2, a technological achievement for a speaker consisting of only two drivers, The Duetto is supplied with an accessory box for an adapted decoupling. The S08 speaker stand, designed specifically for this model, is available as an option.

Speaker stands: S08

Designed for the MAGELLAN Duetto 40th, these top-of-the-range stands incorporate a locking system that ensures the speaker is held securely in place. Positioning your speakers perfectly at ear level, the S08 ensure excellent sound reproduction. With their high stability, the stands absorb unwanted vibrations, thus preserving the neutrality and sound precision of your speakers.

The S08 have watertight tubes in which you can add granular sand or tiny steel balls to ballast the foot and increase stability. The stand is decoupled by three metal spikes, which are easily adjusted from the top. The center spike features SPEC technology for optimal vibration dissipation.

A cable management system at the back of the stand hides cables for a harmonious integration of your system in your living space.

TZ2900PM-MG tweeter with a magnesium alloy dome

A major innovation of this 40th anniversary edition, the TZ2900PM tweeter is equipped with a next generation dome in magnesium alloy providing a significant improvement in terms of linearity and consistency.
Its horn is shaped to limit directivity, i.e., off-axis drop in high frequency level. Together with the phase plug, this pairing allows the frequency response to be linearized.
We also added a counter-cap to the motor to reduce rear waves reflections, limit distortion and control the upper end of the sound spectrum. The TZ2900PM-MG tweeter provides an exceptionally smooth and fluid musical quality whilst ensuring accurate sound reproduction.

Midrange/bass driver with a paper diaphragm

With a cellulose pulp diaphragm and its “progressive” suspension, the midrange/bass driver has that rich, natural sound the brand is known for. Thanks to its suspension, there is no clear separation at the cone attachment, resulting in a seamless mid-range. The diaphragm houses an ultra-light anti-vortex polypropylene cone covered with a latex damping material to limit end of band irregularities.
Featuring a powerful motor and a perfectly matched voice coil, this driver is capable of reproducing firm and dynamic low frequencies while maintaining remarkable clarity and finesse in the vocal register.

Recommended room size

The Duetto 40th is recommended for listening rooms with an area between 15 and 40 m2.

• from 15 to 40m2: Duetto 40th

• from 20 to 50m2: Cello 40th

• > 30m2: Quatuor 40th

Amplifier and Power Handling

Recommended Amplifier power : from 30 to 200 Watts (8 Ohms)

Power Handling : 80W

* The power handling of a speaker is the average continuous power that the speaker can accept without damaging the drivers. You can use an amplifier more powerful than the permissible speaker power by limiting the volume to 70% of the maximum capacity. Conversely, an amplifier that is too underpowered will clip and create distortion, which can also damage the speakers if it is used beyond its capacity.

Speaker Specifications

• Type : Floorstanding speakers with front bass reflex port

• Crossover : 2 Ways

• Sensitivity (dB/W/m) : 88dB

• Bandwith (+/-3dB Hz) : 40Hz-30 000Hz

• Nominal impedance : 8Ω

• Minimum impedance : 3,4Ω

* The impedance of a speaker can be simplified as an electrical resistance. The lower is the impedance of the speaker, the more current the amplifier will have to deliver.

- Nominal impedance is measured at a frequency of 1kHz

- Minimum impedance is measured at low frequencies.

TRIANGLE loudspeakers never fall below 3 Ohms, which means they can be used with almost all Hi-Fi and Home Cinema amplifiers.
