Triangle Art Metis Horn Speakers


 

 

 

Last weekend I attended the Pacific Northwest Audio Fest and was particularly impressed with the TriangleArt Metis horn speakers. They are fairly massive (about 6’ tall) with a 15" (ported woofer), a Beima midrange driver for the horn, and a RAAL ribbon tweeter. The are 95db efficient @8ohms, and were being driven with a single EL34/channel tube amp. I thought they sounded glorious: very natural sound, huge soundstage, lots of tonal color, very solid bass, delicate extended highs, lovely midrange. I’m wondering if any other audiophiles out there have heard (or own) these speakers, and what are your impressions? Also, if you do own them, curious what amplification you have tried or are using? Thanks!

I also heard them and thought they sounded excellent.  Very impressive for the price point.  I would also love to hear from people who have them in their homes or have seriously auditioned the Metis speakers. Please share your impressions!

Very impressive for the price point. 

I did a google and they are 60k a pair?  Those are way way way out of my league.  

@peter_s You sent me a private message but for some reason Audiogon isn't letting me respond and claims it is spam.  Anyhow, I didn't like the Triangle room.  I didn't think it was bad, I just didn't think it was special or perhaps not my kind of sound.  Now to be fair, I haven't liked any of the big horns I've heard at Axpona or any other fair.  If you are still up in Port Townsend you should feel free to come down for a listening session some time.  I'm on Bainbridge Island.
