New Antal esw any better????

Arni - What equipment do you now use that works well? In my small 11 x 13 dedicated listening room, the XS were still often excessively bright even when I tried a PrimaLuna Prologue 2.

Jfacker - I've tried a sub, but couldn't get a smooth, coherent blend of the low frequencies. Its fine with HT, but I didn't like it with 2-channel audio. What powered sub are you using and how did you set it up?

Thanks.

Nanotweeter,
My digital source is EVS (Ric Schultz) modified Samsung universal player without any op-amps; very analog-like sound. Before that I had a transport-dac setup that was too bright.. but tolerable after inserting Monarchy Upsampler in the digital chain and improving digital cabling (A Zen MC2). I initially had Conrad-Johnson Sonographe amps, but upgraded to the Unison Unico, which has also made significant improvements; there appears to be a great sinergy between the Unison and the Antals, stronger bass, magical midrange, and somehow more extended yet "milder" highs.
I have experimented with a sub for the lower frequencies, which is tricky given how "fast" the Antals are. The results have been surprisingly good with the Pinnacle Subsonic, which is a bipolar 6.5 inch-same size drivers as the Antals and seem to be able to keep up.

Thanks for the reply Arni. I am dissapointed in the lack of response from those who have heard Triangle's esw line. Usually those who have heard or own speakers and like them are not shy about submiting a favorable reply. Does this mean that the speakers are a sonic dissapointment? Looks like I'll stay away from them too until a concensus is finally formed, regardless of what ST stated in Stereophile.
