Triangle Speakers

I picked up a pair of Triangle Titus (the mark II version) speakers. I loved the detail and sound staging, but I found the midrange a bit bright sounding with with NAD C372 amp. I think this means that the upper midrange was being over-emphasized or the lower midrange was being under-emphasized. In any case, even with a sub the tonal balance didn't sound quite right to my ears.

My question for folks here: would I have a similar problem with Titus' floor standing speakers? In other words, is the brightness (when coupled with my amp) part of the Triangle sound or is it a mini monitor thing?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

A tube amp is an option but I have a pair of Triangle Zerius 202's and I think they can be a little tipped up but I was running them with both an Antique Sound Labs KI-22 Fox amp, (single ended 22W), and later a Plinius 9200. The Plinius smoked the ASL amp. There was, (as you'd expect), much better bass control, and much more to boot. I realize that the Plinius is relatively expensive for the speakers but any perceived brightness was gone with that combo in my opinion. When I sold the Plinius it was a sad day. My point is that with system matching I was very happy with the tonal balance of the floor-standers and I would bet you could be too.

Hope this helps, YMMV, FWIW, EIEIO
