FORUMS
I am looking for advice/suggestions on my setup.
My current living room is fairly large at 21x13x9ft.
My HT setup consists of -
Philips DVP642 DVD player
Music server HTPC, all CDs ripped to FLAC
Roku Soundbridge
Yamaha RX-V496 70Wpc A/V receiver (external decoder input but no pre-out)
Energy Take5 satellites
Energy EXL-10 subwoofer
Kimber 4PR speaker cables
AudioResearch(or quest) interconnects
I recently bought a pair of Triangle Heliade speakers based on reviews. I could not demo locally. My music tastes are mostly rock(classic, alternative, blues), some classical(western/indian-instrumental) & the occasional vocal cd's(enya, allison kraus)
When I demoed other speakers locally, I listened to Pearl Jam, Alan Parsons, Pink Floyd & some Indian-Western Fusion.
With the Heliade the same music really disappointed me. The highs sounded a little harsh, mid-range just ok & bass was very vague(for lack of a better word). I tried concerts recorded in DD5.1 from the dvr & they did not sound any better.
- Given my room size & music tastes, are the Triangle's even the right choice?
- If I wanted to drive them with used tube equipment(2-channel amp/integrated amp) as many Triangle users suggest, how would I integrate them into an HT setup?
I have a limited budget so I would like to buy used as much as possible.
Thanks
