Another pair of speakers???
No, no guys. This is just for educational purposes. I need to stop pronto. No more gear left to drive speakers, or room, or money or wife's understanding...well the latter perhaps I can still work on.
Seriously any experience? The reviuews I red sounded good, but not totally convincing - to me. AND I do prefer to learn from AK members who have first hand experience.

Having listened to a lot of speakers over the years, and having heard quite a few really good speakers, I have to say I have lost my enthusiasm for the whole idea of state of the art. Seems to me that no speaker actually sounds real, and no speaker is even a convincing fake in all areas, so when you go from one speaker to another, you are more likely to be trading one set of virtues and flaws for another set than you are achieving nirvana. Sure, some are nicer than others, but peoples' tastes differ markedly, and their rooms and systems do too.
Possibly the best speakers I've heard are JM Grand Utopias, and they were impressive. But not real, and not entirely better than the Ensemble system, and even the Quad ESL 57 that we listened to at the same time. Oddly enough, I was less enthralled with the Quads than I expected -- I've lusted after them since 1974 when I heard them as a teen ager at the Listening Room in Scarsdale NY -- but they would be the ones I would buy anyway. Sound is not the only reason to get speakers. Unfortunately the only pair I had a realistic chance of buying were given away(!) in some family confusion. Arggh.
My point: someone has said the Triangles are super duper. Well maybe they are, but unless you have some reason of your own to actually want them, they are just another of the inifinte number of possible buys to mess with your head. We've all witnessed your purchasing a string of really nice speakers, and I think you will get a lot more satisfaction getting to know them than you will running after these, even though, if you can afford them, I'd be interested in your opinion.
This isn't meant as a lecture, though it is sort of pontificating...

I have to agree with you. The other part of the equasion is the gear which drives the speakers. Some of the "super duper" stuff will not sound great with lesser "equipment" and then I am not even touching on room/furniture, etc.
I did buy a fair amount of speakers out of curiosity such as Advent, AR 4x, Dynaco A25, DCM TF 700 b/c people are so fond of them here and b/c of the history behind these. I also refoamed a few. The 2 pairs I am really fond of are my new ADS 980 and Alon Capri. I am really not interested in the Triangles in terms of gtting them, just was curious b/c never heard of them before.
