Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: college student seeks durable speakers for odd room (long)

Thanks for the recs. I headed over to Audio Lab yesterday and listened to two speakers -- one a smallish Castle (I think it was the Durham, but it may have been the Richmond), and the other the small Triangle bookshelf (the Effets, I think?). Both were hooked up to an Audio Refinement Complete and their CD Complete. The Castle had incredible detail, but seemed congested in the upper midrange, and a little overbright and sibilant -- compelling at first listen, but I think it would be exhausting. The Triangle was smoother overall -- nice on vocals -- but seemed a little bit overwhelmed in complex passages.

My gut feeling after that listen is that I need to be listening to larger and more expensive (both of these were $500) speakers, perhaps with a less expensive amp. I probably would have insisted on as much, but they were about to close. Any amps you particularly recommend with the Triangles or the Monitors?
