I hate to ask a dumb question, but you did connect jumpers between the top and bottom?
Bi Wiring mandated on Triangle Comete ES?
Hello, I know bi-wiring is a hot topic here . Please tread lightly as I am not very proficient in audio tech "speak"
Here is my dillema:
I was given a pair of 20+ year old Triangle Comete ES speakers , they have the (4) bi wire connectors .
Trying to hook up to my new Cocktail audio X30 system using single wire ( Straight Wire brand, simple don't judge me here) .
Problem is when I hook to the top ALL I get is treble and when I hook to the bottom ALL I get is bass.
So is it possible that these speakers were designed that Bi wiring is mandated for them to work? Rather than buy new Bi-Wire cables would it be less expensive to try jumpers? (Nordost perhaps?)
Any advise is appreciated. For now everything just sounds like shite .......

I’ve been using unterminated AudioQuest Type 4 with the white vinyl outer cover in a bi-wire configuration with my seven Triangle Comete ES’ in my HT system. The Comete’s came with jumper plates which I used for a month before I had the AudioQuest in place. I agree tomcarr. There are many factors that could prevent from hearing noticeable difference. It simply may have been their breaking in but I found the Comete’s to sound more cohesive, like a single point source when bi-wired. They’re such an amazingly underrated little speaker I’m not about to second guess the designer and not bi-wire. I see AudioQuest has wrapped their Type 4 with a woven outer and a slightly higher cost. In my seven foot apart triangle two channel system I found the Comete’s imaged best with the toe-in aimed somwhere between 1’-1 1/2’ feet from my ears, in my room. |
Hello All thanks for helping me out here and adding to my limited knowledge base :-) I went with local (MA) company Pinetree Audio and got 2 sets spade/spade jumpers with 12AWG for under $60! they arrived next day , hooked up and now the speakers sound great! Very please with this solution and kudos to Pinetree Audio https://pinetreeaudio.com |
