Have you ever tried that?
Please let us know how it went 
How do you lean back on those sofas without ending up on the floor behind them?
You need to remember that Sam - while entirely capable of femininity - remains fundamentally a-bloke-with-tits at heart 
I rarely need to tell her to do one, because she doesn’t really GAF, and she usually Gets It when it comes to Stuff. Why’d you think I married her?
…aaaaand if the worst comes to the worst, I can always starve her into submission as her all-embracing lack of domestication means she can barely manage to make a pot-noodle without needing to call the fire brigade and an ambulance…
Posture? 
They’re probably not as low backed as they may seem, but no they are for being seated on and not for lounging or sprawling over. I find them comfortable if you sit up (hence cushions) and of course this has the advantage that other people (ugh) don’t get too comfortable…
Attack turtle and spiky semi are always to hand when repelling boarders.
My choice of music does most of the heavy lifting.
As literally nobody failed to predict:
One very lightly-used set of Triangle Genèse Lyrr.
What Sam says (and I have this in writing 
):
“I can see that either the Triangles,
or the Hecos will (in time) end up on the top floor.
Big speakers at the rear…
even bigger ones at the front!”
(Top floor = AV system.)
I’ve plonked them down, sans spikes, on the carpet roughly in the same position the Dreiklangs have occupied. They sound like they’ve never really been run-in, though Triangles always take a while to warm-up anyway. Notwithstanding, it’s an interesting trade-off vs. the 3klangs.
First impressions are -
Less good:
- All the lowest wall-wobbling bass ca 30Hz is gone.
- One metric Veil’s worth of absolute resolution is also gone.
More gooderer:
- Fun factor is back again. Sneer all you like at small bass drivers, but those mofos are FAST and tight AF. And Triangles do that bit better than anything this side of well-implemented horns.
- Midrange snap and articulation is awesome. Again, Triangle beat anything at sane money that’s not got a giant hearing trumpet in front of it.
- I now have a full-height sound-stage again; which is nice.
- My ears don’t hurt when I play stuff obscenely loud, which is pretty much the only way I play stuff…
- They look fucking great
They do all the things my old Naias did, but more so - the bass in particular is comprehensively better.
I need to play a shitload of stuff and really get my head around where I go from here -
A. I could sort these out properly with extra cabinet damping and bracing, upgraded wiring, upgraded (probably offboard) crossovers, and better plinths.
B. Or I cut straight to what I’ll probably do eventually anyway, which is to buy the top-of-the-range equivalents from the Magellan range, which will require me to sell everything I own including the car, and then wait 10 years for one of the three pairs Triangle ever sold to show-up used…
C. Snap-out of it, and keep the Dreiklangs.
Meanwhile 
D: massive subs.
This has also crossed my mind - tho’ more along the lines of discrete-but-powerful-subs…
Not my speciality.
Frustratingly, I’m limited where I can stash them in this room, and I do want two…
Result.
One step closer to getting a pair of horns then 
It would take a lottery win - not least because no room inside the house is big enough for a set of horns worthy of the name, plus I need the budget to convert the trap-house. Not pining - I’ve never really heard a set of horns uncompromisingly do what I want them to, tho’ admittedly I’ve only really heard lash-ups and compromises.
I DO WANT a set of these now tho’ …
They were a bargain for the money
I really didn’t expect to get them anywhere near what I paid - so much so I felt a bit sorry for the bloke I bought them from…
…until I went into his listening room and saw he’d replaced them with a set of Triangle Magellan Quatuors with upgraded offboard crossovers (the set still apparently for sale on Hififorsale!), so fuck him, I hate him now. Bastard! 
Cellos?
I think I saw that pair of Lyrrs advertised recently, and was quite tempted myself, but really need the Peaks to sell before I move on.
That model is the next-up from Cello, rejoicing in the name of Quatuor.
Unusually there were two sets of Lyrrs on thiefbay, the others are well-priced at £1,400, but they’ll not sell so long as people can see the sold price of my set…
Bit silly, because the equivalent speaker (almost unchanged apart from nicer veneers) is now £7,700 new!!! 
These ones? DO IT!
I would, but that set is sat in the front room of the guy I bought these Lyrrs from - the jammy cunt! 
My set of Electrocompaniet monos are also apparently still for sale in ebay.
Noddy old cunts not updating their ads…
