Ok Gentlemen,,, What are your thoughts about the Triangle Titus 202's which Stereophile Magazine Raved about and put it their B category? |
Hello All, I haven't had any responses to my last question. I'm afraid I have burned everyone out on this topic. Please know that I greatly appreciate all you of comments and suggestions. It was very helpful in my decision making process and I learned a few things also. Thank you. |
Ok, well, my system is in the living room which is aprox. 14'x 18' with standard 8' ceiling. I am looking to replace just the two main paradigms for the time being, then the center channel paradigm and last but not least the rear tannoys. I am also going to be upgrading my Harman Kardon DVD player, probably to an Arcam. I guess when I got the Arcam avr300 I was hoping to hear more transparency with more depth and imaging. I keep reading about Totems and other speakers and the person will talk about how the speakers seems to disappear and leave just the music. I hope I'm making myself a bit more clear as to what I'm trying to accomplish. |
The Dynaudios are alittle bit out of my budget range. Any other suggestions? I'm open to all opinions. I live in San Jose, Ca. so I do have many Audio Stores for auditioning :) |
Hello Gents, so far so good, I am making a list of these recommendations to check out when I have some spare time. I did forget to mention that I do have a Sub, HSU VTF2 V.2 for those really deep notes and explosions. As much as I've read previous to posting this question, I am kind of surprisded that no one has mentioned, Totem, Focal, Canton. So far the Bohlender Z7 or Tyler Acoustics may be the best bang for the buck. ?????? |
Hello Beernut, it sounds like you really love the Z7's. I wrote to a dealer earlier today and he said he has one pair left in Black, he'd let them go for $500.00. One question, do these speakers have to sit far from a back wall to sound their best? I don't have alot of room so I am in need a speakers that can sit maybe a foot at most from the back wall. Thanks for all your input Beernut. |
Hey Beernut, I apreciate all your input. It sounds like we have similar tastes, when it comes to music, I prefer 2 channel also. Yes I am getting alittle confused but I like all the suggestions. I am slowly going through the list. I'm torn between between having bookshelf type speakers because of space and floor standing types becuase of better sound. Ok all, what is a good stand mounted speaker that has the fullness of floor standing? |
Hello Krelldog and Shoe,,, since I already own a good sub, what do you think about the PSB Stratus Mini vs. The Goldi? Wouldn't it sound as good except for the lower frequencies? |
Songwriter72 and Elsneb,,, will the Europas be ok with a Solid State Receiver? It seems most of the review I've read have them attached to tube amps. |
Hey Beernut, I have listen to everything all of you have had to say, Especially YOUR comments, I enjoyed it very much, you made me laught more than once. I am not all that kind on the French either, I'm X Navy. But I had an unexpected expense and had to use my speaker money for that purpose. So I had to revamp my strategy. Everything I've read about these Triangles is good and they are relatively cheap. When I get another Windfall, I will do this all over again. I alsost went with the Green Mountains but they aren't bi ampable. I have all the suggestions written down for further reference. |
Well Guys, I lost out on the Triangle Titus Auction so I'm back to square one, Bummer. The Green Mountain's aren't bi ampable, the Kestrel's are too big. I guess I'm going to have to save up more money and start looking once again. Thanks guys for all your Help. |
Great News!!!!!!!!!
A salesperson from an Audio Store, Upscale Audio, in S. Calif.
called me back this evening and had one pair of Triangle Titus 202's left. I got a great deal and I should have them by Tuesday. I hope they are as good as everyone has said. We'll See! :) Thank you for all your input, it was greatly appreciated! |
