Have you heard a properly set up Planar speaker like those Electrostatic or Magnaplanar speaker? Depending on type of music, they sounded very differently from box speaker and can be additive to some people.

AFAIK, while both are planar in nature, Electrostatic and Magnaplanar uses different technology and while I have heard a few of the later, I don't have the opportunities to hear the former.

And yes, your description is correct, by not having boxes, these Planar speaker do not have 'box sound' or 'box' coloration and to my ears, much more relaxing to listen to.

Hey guys.

Any recommendations for 12 gauge speaker cables and cables for sub? Wanna prepare for my 7.1 HT. Thanks

Btw...can anyone comment on the logitech IR or RF extender system. Need to get it for my HT.

Not sure...but would think will go for mid-range. how much will that set me back?

Umm..i think you have misread my question there...was asking about cables...not the whole system. I wanna setup the cables during reno.

Hi All,

Newbie here... I just got Onkyo TX-SR608 av amp as a gift but no speakers.

Is it ok, for me just to get 2 bookshelf speakers or 2 floor stand speakers for it? Could I customize the setting to suit only 2.1 rather than 7.1?

Tried searching for the info but no clear answer...

Please advise.

Thanks in advance

Wow..very impressive. something for every HT-phile and me to aspire to.

Bro, did WongKN come to your place to test your stereo set-up? 
Sure  I will try best to make a trip down to Seremban in March to test them to see how "floating" is the sound. And also, line up an entry level spkr from Triangle. Wanna to hear what is its characteristic different from ProAc. And most importantly to hear your dual sub set-up 

htkaki, one thing for sure when you bring in these Triangle speakers is they seem to lure more audiophiles than AV kaki  .

It will be my best interest to see a Naim combo to drive up these speakers, especially the entry level one.

My Naim Int amp/cdp have been running in couple of days, and the sound is getting warmer and more opener each day! I slowly get to feel Naim's true characteristic as it communicates music as lively as possible as a whole. It is just like a group of band performing live in front of you. Every instruments have pace and space in between. When I first spin the cdp, I thought the cd is spinning faster than my previous NAD! There is a sense of high & low sound wave (not flat) which make any cd listening a thrill.

I know ProAc pair well with them but wont hesitate to open door to Triangle. We shall see.

WongKN is a fan of ribbon speakers. Our boxy stuff won;t suite him anyway. 

well i guess this qualified as Home Theater items right?

popcorn anyone?  hehehe...
