New Antal esw any better????

Has anyone heard the new Triangle Antal asw? I've listened at length to the Antal XS (two generations old) and love their speed and detail. But like many others have expressed, they are a little too bright for my taste and the lack of much -50hz bass makes them sound "light" in my opinion. Supposedly, Triangle has addressed both issues with the new asw series. Comments from Celius asw auditioners also welcome.

Arni - What equipment do you now use that works well? In my small 11 x 13 dedicated listening room, the XS were still often excessively bright even when I tried a PrimaLuna Prologue 2.

Jfacker - I've tried a sub, but couldn't get a smooth, coherent blend of the low frequencies. Its fine with HT, but I didn't like it with 2-channel audio. What powered sub are you using and how did you set it up?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply Arni. I am dissapointed in the lack of response from those who have heard Triangle's esw line. Usually those who have heard or own speakers and like them are not shy about submiting a favorable reply. Does this mean that the speakers are a sonic dissapointment? Looks like I'll stay away from them too until a concensus is finally formed, regardless of what ST stated in Stereophile.
