(Where are you in the US, and is there any place that you travel to for work or leisure? I can try to locate a dealer for you.)

Triangle's priorities tend to revolve around dynamics and "time domain", usually at the expense of tone and bass extension.

In the right system, they have a tremendous capacity to make things happen where AND when they are supposed to in the sound mix. Notes start, peak and then fade in a very believeable way, fitting the behavior the human brain seems to anticipate.

Too theoretical?

OK, how about this: Great sense of snap, timing, drive, groove, jump, etc. The kind of sound that makes you lean forward in your chair, trying to get nose to nose with the performer(s). But that ability can also make them sound too busy and overwhelming to other people. Their somewhat pale presentation of tone can also be a turn off for some listeners.

Think of it as a photograph where the colors aren't so vivid, but the detail is very fine, well focused and coherent.

Lastly, it is worth noting that Triangle tends to have a pretty obvious house sound, ie., if you get to hear other models in that line and like them, then there's a 95% chance you would be fine w/the Volantes, assuming your room can accomodate them. They aren't small and they probably would prefer some space to breathe.

Tell me what you think-
