Triangle Comete EX, Comete 30th Anniv, or Trio?

So these speakers are starting to get my interest. I can get Trios for $1700, the 30th anniversary Comete for $1500 or the Comete EX for $1100, which ones are best?

It seems like the Trio's were a higher line speaker, originally priced at around $2700 but the speaker I am hearing about is the Comete.

I'm looking for good imaging and detail but a speaker without alot of bass so that I don't bother the neighbors. Thanks for the input!

LOL!! That's like asking what's the best flavor of ice cream, or what's the best beer. It's all subjective, no one can tell you which is the best. They may tell you what flavor they like best, but that may or may not be the flavor you like best.

Look for a good deal on a used pair of bookshelves, buy 'em and try 'em. If you like 'em, keep 'em, if you don't, sell 'em and try again.

Grinnell's right - find or hold out for a pair of used de Capo i's (don't waste your time with the BE model). However, having said that, as a long-time Triangle owner and enthusiast myself, I would also go for the Comete - truly fantastic, fast and not overly-bright speakers. Just a warm and powerful monitor.

The best advice so far. I've done this so many times it's ridiculous. I'm not a detail freak but the best monitor I've owned that does it all is the Revel M20. A truly wonderful speaker that I regret selling.
