Triangle vs Paradigm vs JMLab

I prefer the JMLabs Cobalts to the Paradigms. I would also suggest you audition a pair of Thiel CS-1.6's if possible. They trounce all of them in my opinion. Approximately 2k new. Otherwise the JM's if you have to pick among the 3.

JM Labs all the way..having the all of the above..no contest.

I own a pair of the Cobalt's, pushed by a Manley Stingray. Last night I was listening to "Bruno Walter Conducts Mozart" (SACD) at concert levels. I was totally blown away at the width and depth of the soundstage. The transparancy and detail were everything you expect from JMLab. You could visualize instrument placement. Bass was solid, tight and fast. This is in a room @ 22 x 16.

I did consider and audition Triangle and brought home the Cobalts. Paradigm just doesn't do much for me.

Tubes and JMLabs definitely are a great match. Awesome job by both the folks at Focal and Eveanna Manley.
