Dynaudio Excite X12 v Triangle Comete v ?


I'm setting up a second system that will likely be driven by a Virtue amp. I'm looking for a set of monitors that image well and are fun to listen to. I've been doing a bunch of reading and am looking most seriously at these two as options. Anyone heard both or have a particular liking for one?

Source will mostly be lossless digital files although they will probably get rotated in on my main system on occasion.

I'd also consider some smaller footprint floorstanders. I'd like to keep it under $1500.

Thanks.

While they might be easier to drive than most Dyns, the Excite X12s are easy to drive. I did'nt feel like I got the best out of them with a Naim Nait 5i. I think that the Virtue amp would struggle. The Triangles would be much easier to drive.
Sorry. I meant to write that the Dyn X12s are NOT that easy to drive! You might want to check out Silverline Audio. Either the Minuet or Prelude would be a nice match, and they're well under $1500.
