Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Mentioned monitors are very different.....

You may want to consider auditioning if you can......

The ACI Sapphire II's are very good and lean a little toward the warm side. Your Audio Refinement does too, - so if you listen to a lot of agressive music,- and/or don't like a warm sound, - the CDM 1NT is a very agressive speaker. (To me, -the 1NT is not in the same league as the Triangle/ACI because of it's agressive nature, - extended, uncolored upper treble, and lack of mid-range warmth or "bloom.'

The Spendor's are dark IMO, - to me, - they would be too dark for an Audio Refinement, - but perhaps not if you like a lot of acoustic music and prefer a heavier sound. What source do you have?

I have never heard a Triangle speaker that didn't amaze me for the price....I also very much like the Silverline, - but the one that I listened to is at a $2K price point....Many fellow inmates here are justifiably high on the speakers from GR Research, - the Paradox and AV1.

I am a former owner of the 1NT and find it to be pretty low on my value list given my tastes and knowing what I know now....

Good luck
