recommended speakers for SET amp?
Sam Tellig reviewed most of the Triangle line in the August 2000 Stereophile Magazine. He especially liked the Triangle Antal xs, a floorstander, with his low powered tube amps. I have the cheapest Triangles, the Titus xs. At $495 list, the Titus ... 
Tube Friendly Speakers
I bought my Triangle Titus xs from Alan at Audiowaves,www.audioshopper.com/audiowaves. He has a generous return policy, he discounts Triangle(his catalog says $1595 for the Antal) and he provides free shipping and great service from a brick and mo... 
Recievers versus separates
It isn't as good as my current setup, an Arcam Alpha 10 Integrated Amp. and a Denon AVR-3300 working in a combined system. I paid $1850 for the new B&K when they lowered the price last year(list was $2850). I bought the Arcam and Denon used fo... 
2-Channel to home Theater
I also use a receiver to power my center,surrounds, bass/LFE port and provide digital processing and a tuner. Having a processor loop or HT bypass loop is helpfull because once engaged, all HT functions(setup,volume control, etc.) are controlled b... 
Hot Setup? Pre/Pro for HT and 2ch
I have a very good music system that also does HT. I tried buying a high-end HT receiver(B&K AVR202), and it couldn't match my 15 year old budget audiophile system for music, so I started over with a different plan. I build a good music system... 
Stereo preamp for HT bypass
If you are on a tighter budget, you can buy an quality integrated amp that has an HT bypass. This will provide your analog (2-channel) pre-amp, and 2 channels of amplification. Then use your HT receiver for digital processing, tuner, bass manageme... 
Home theatre and Musical Experience
I went through this process last year. I had an antiquated 2-channel system an wanted a new 2-channel and HT system combines. I bought 3 different HT receivers (Sony DB930, Denon AVR-3300, B&K AVR-202). They were priced $500-$2800. None of the... 
Integrated amp with 2 pair binding posts
I believe both sets of speakers must be 8 ohm min. Of course, you could connect both sets and only have one set playing at any time(they are switched).DO you want to play both sets at the same time?Tom 
How to have great HT and 2-CH Stereo

Triangle Titus
They are awesome at the list price of $495. I've had mine for about 2 months and couldn't be more happy. I don't think they are unattractive, especially compared to other sub $500 speakers. The Titus is very detailed and images well. I would howev... 
integrated amp w/ Triangle titus spks?
I bought the Triangle Titus xs from Alan too. I really like them. I can't imagine a better sub $500 speaker. I'm using them with an Arcam Alpha 10 integrated amp. I like it very much and it has great flexibility. It is out of your price range, and... 
Favorite Xmas movie ?
"Trapped in Paradise" is one of my favorite comedies, and is also a great Christmas movie. It stars Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz and Nicholas Cage. Not sure about the sound, but I love the movie. 
Triangle Titus xs?
Matt, I will be receiving a pair of Titus xs on Wed. 11/15. I'll try to post a review here or at Audioreview.com. I've been very curious about this speaker myself. They seem to be a bit hard to find. I've heard many dealers are out of stock, and t...
