I know there are legions of Triangle fans..but I must confess...my initial impressions of the Titus were somewhat underwhelming..in party due to the former Stereophile praise I suppose...maybe my expectations were unrealistic...that famous review aside..lets put things in perspective...this is a 10 year old, $500 speaker...that being said...from former critiques I expected an uber detailed, almost electrostatic presentation with lean, albeit musical European bass...however...in reality was something entirely different in my experience...for better or worse the top end a touch soft and veiled...midrange very open..and bass very extended for a monitor but not the most controlled...even at this price point...imaging was stable and involving but "boxy" at times...all this might sound harsh...but the speaker does excel in two key areas...first, soundstaging...these sound big albeit forward...and two...all negatives aside...there is a refined, sophisticated nature these possess that is impressive ...which Tellig and others have pointed out...in conclusion...the Titus has a perplexing mix of strengths and weaknesses plus an exotic French pedigree which warrants consideration...but in hindsight...I find the former Class B rating a bit over the top...any others have similiar feedback?
Triangle Titus: Still Competitive?
Just curious how these former Class B monitors stack up against the competition today? Although at half the cost, would the NHT Superzeros, with tremendous speed, transparency, and clarity, albeit lean bass, be a fair comparison in terms of overall sonics? PS-these are for the 202 model.
