Triangle sound-signature category. Which brands?


I am curious about my options withing Triangle Speakers sound signature.
I like their sound: open, dynamic and life like, but I cannot help but wonder what else is out there that sounds just like Triangle, but perhaps more sophisticated or just better overall?
Please share your thoughts as I am very curious about my possible options.

Thank you.

I have to disagree with Sonus Faber comparison. I have not heard Sonus models in Amati range but everything made for home theater aplication is just below averag in sound quality.

As far as Focal is concerned ; I have heard 5 different models in under 5K price range and none of them had open, soaring treble or life like presentation. One Focal speaker had excellent driver integration and very nice sound but treble was so rolled off that I culd not consider buying it.

I will look for Dali.

I have heard Heliade and Altea.
I also heard Totem Forest at the NYC store(if I am not mistaken on the model name) and was very impressed with them.
As I mentioned before Focal and SF (to my ears)are both extremly differrent from the Triangle sound. I feel that both JM&SF are lacking treble and speed.
I bought Heliade (3-driver) model from Upscale Audio. Good deal at $699.00. Clean fresh sound , incredible imaging .Tweeter might sound metallic sometimes on bad passages or bad recordings. Bass is dry and insufficient (I usually hate bass), but this bass is weak not in extension but in color, character of the bas. Micro dynamics and detail retrieval is great. Play really well at low volumes as oppose to my ATC 12s.
Overall Triangle provides very engaging sound for very little money.
Speakers are all man made materials , I have heard that they changed that and cover their basic speakers with wood veneer now.
Now that i owned them for a few weeks I can say (for those who might be curious) that upgrade from Triangle while staying in the same sound signature would be the De Vore speakers.
