Having owned a Triplanar 6.5 for nearly one year, I can attest that it is *not* bright nor analytical. It is smooth, rock-solid, and highly resolving. In short, it is world class. I believe that Chris' setup was with version 4 or 4.5, and would agree with the others that there was likely a mismatch somewhere else. Terry Cain (of Cain & Cain) has been using a version 4 on his Teres for some time, and there is no brightness whatsoever, and I've heard it directly at three trade shows, in addition to his listening studio.
Peter Clark of Redpoint set up the latest Testa Rossa at VSAC with a brand new Triplanar 7....numerous pictures are available on the Positive Feedback Online site and on Audio Asylum (for VSAC coverage). This setup had many, many compliments, sonic and otherwise. As your Acoustic Solid One has a strong structural resemblance to the Redpoint, you would do well with the Triplanar....the two products are well-matched, imho.
