Triangle Competitors?

Post here

I’m thinking about a new pair of Triangles ($8000-10000 new). Are there any loudspeakers (maybe American made) that have the easy to drive, lively sound of a Triangle loudspeaker? This would be my 3rd pair.

I think you'd like the sound of B&W or Golden Ear, but easy to drive isn't often how I think of them.

Have you heard Klipsch Heresy?

American made. Therein lies the rub.

 

USA

JBL 4367 Tower- USaudiomart $10k. Excellent Lively Sound for larger space.Horn.

Decware makes some Speakers of hi efficiency. Open baffle.

 

N. American

Paradigm Founders 120H $8.5k new. Best Seller in an SF HiFi store.

Heard with a $5k Luxmann INT. Sound was great. Piano, Sax.

 

UK

ATC-40's or 50s. Poor recordings won't go on these.

 

France

Focal Kanta 2s.Pretty Lively. Good Value Used.

I have a factory custom pair of H3s in rosewood. Does that count? Nothing special sonically, just nostalgia.

@russ69 A few I think of when I hear "lively"

  • Coincident (Canada)
  • Living Voice (UK)
  • Zu Druid Series (USA) 

All are pretty easy to drive. 

IMHE, the Zu speakers are quite polarizing. I've been with groups of friends listening to them and some fall in love while others look like they're sucking on a lemon. While not my cup of tea, they certainly are lively, popular and come in tons of cool color options. Most threads rave about company support. Cheers,
