Should I pull the trigger?

I have a chance to pick up a nice pair of Triangle Celius 202s, but I already own a set of PSB Stratus Silvers ('i' version). To me, the Triangles appear to be similar to the PSBs in physical size and driver complement (although the Triangles may sound a little more refined?). The current owner of the Triangles is using them with a tube amp, which tells me they've had an easy life and probably have not been abused sonically. I really like my Stratus Silvers and have owned them for about 10 years......they do so many things right and so few wrong in my book. I've always wanted a pair of Triangle speakers and don't want to miss this opportunity, but have misgivings that I'd just be buying another set of Silver i's, so to speak. If I get the Triangles, I plan on using them with a Thule Spirit IA-60 integrated amp.

Why?  What improvements are you looking for from your PSBs and what do you think the Triangles will do to achieve them?  There are LOTS of good speakers out there nowadays so it’s important to be specific about what characteristics you’re looking to improve upon.

Nahh you should steal them when they aren't home.  Armed robbery carries a much bigger penalty.

I heard the top of the line Triangles a couple of years ago....they were excruciatingly bright.   Make sure you have a listen before writing the check.

I was not looking to replace the PSBs, just use the Triangles in a different system. All plans have been put on hold since gas hit $3.30 a gallon here this week, and price hikes at the grocery store continue unabated. Cannot justify spending the money for the Triangles at this time. Thanks for all of the helpful input and opinions.
