There's a definite feeling you're getting your money's worth when you encounter Triangle's Antal 40th Anniversary loudspeaker. This French floorstander, reasonably tall at 113cm and surprisingly deep at 35cm, arrives in an oversized box and, once excavated, greets you with 40th Anniversary branding on the front baffle and its quartet of drivers with eye-catching rose-gold anodised aluminium trims. I wouldn't say it looks a million dollars - there are too many right angles for that - but it certainly looks like it should cost more than the £3000 ticket (less still via some online retailers).Of the colour options, the Blonde Sycamore of our sample has an on-trend natural matt finish. For something a little more ostentatious, opt for the glossier Santos Rosewood. Triangle has released this special edition version of the Antal - a longstanding model in its range, first produced in the mid-1990s - to mark 40 years (well, 41) since the company was established [see boxout, p71]. It has doubled down on the idea, too, also launching an anniversary edition of its Comete standmount (£1500).
