Triangle sound-signature category. Which brands?


I am curious about my options withing Triangle Speakers sound signature.
I like their sound: open, dynamic and life like, but I cannot help but wonder what else is out there that sounds just like Triangle, but perhaps more sophisticated or just better overall?
Please share your thoughts as I am very curious about my possible options.

Thank you.

Nothing I have heard sound quite like the Triangle Titus 202s in my second system.

Focal Profile monitors are probably the closest.
Reubent,

The Triangles are balanced, easy to drive, very detailed and articulate, have very fast transient response and practically disappear in the room when set up properly.

They are among if not the best I have heard at low volumes as a result plus can go loud without breaking up quite well way beyond what their diminutive size would lead you to expect, with good amplification.

Plus they only cost $500 or so brand new when I bought them years ago yet can compete with the best out there I would say.

Their low end is not as extended as some other small monitors like my Dynaudios, but is very full and satisfying alone with proper amplification nonetheless. Add a sub and they leave little to want IMHO.
Agreed regarding a fair resemblance to ML and perhaps also Quad ES in terms of speed and airiness despite the conventional box design.
Here's a nice piece that does a good job of communicating what makes the Triangle Titus 202s so special:

Dkzzz,

The things you describe are the reasons why I like my smaller Triangles so much.

I use a sub with them for very respectable full range sound, but they are pretty game alone as well delivering a nice clean bass down to about 60 hz or so, ad show no signs of stress or breakup at higher volumes even despite their small size (but only with sufficient amplification).
