    I'm planning to replace my actual paradigms studio reference 60 for an other pair of speakers, I'm looking for a 3 way full range model, and the new Triangle NAIA are one of the possibilities I have (for the price of course), but the Chilean dealer actually doesn't have any of them for a review, I wish to know if somebody in this forum have ever listen a triangle speaker, and If someone have listen a Naias.

    Thank you in advance.

    Heard a Triangle Celius on the weekend, and had one word for them... coloured.

    They were dynamic, but the bass was flabby and uncontrolled. Treble was incisive and a bit brash. I felt you needed a decent tube amp to match with them, TBH.

    Not sure how NAIAs would compare at pretty much twice the price. I didn't bother listeninig to them cos the wife thought they were just waaayyyyy too big.

    They are fairly huge spkrs BTW.

    Thank you for the feedback, I read from some test that it can sound very bright with some electronics. Also the break-in time is "very" long. At least it will be very hard to match.


    Thank you again.

    Triangles are a bit bright, it's a French thing. But they're not rubbish by any means. I've heard them sound coloured too, but a better amplifier always cured it. TAG 60i was all that was required for Celius IME.

    Cheers
