We are thinking of adding a new "high end" speaker to our line up ... Currently we have direct lines from Boston, RBH, Jamo and Induction Dynamics ... I get some other semi high end through distribution ... Can't get B&W (anonther dealer has it) .. Thought about Martin Logan but looking for suggestions and ideas?

I like Triad. http://www.triadspeakers.com/

I like the In-Wall, On-Wall, In-Room concept, with the easy flow from line to line.

I second the motion. We sell RBH for low end jobs and Triad for everything else and sell mostly Triad.

From a literal point of view, any of the above.

From a practical point of view, I will also have to say Triad.
As installing a/v dealers, we face combinations of cabinet, inwall and in-ceiling applications and you need a practical line that has several options for each at several performance and price points.
Triad always comes through for me.

BTW, the Triad Monitor and Mini-Monitor lines use the same drivers that Krell, Sonus-Faber, etc. use for their price-no-object audiophile models.

Jamo D 4's use the same driverstweets, and the D8's use the woofers.

I just spoke with my buddies at triad and.....Get this......New grills will be out soon as well as new sub amps...should have audio sense and trigger on amps now.

I hate the grilles that they have now but not to bad to install if you do it right

See about JM Labs... available through Audio Plus Services in Plattsburgh NY. Its been a great line for us. Reasonably priced speakers all the way up to the reference Grande Utopia for a mere $80,000.00 a pair!

Otherwise I do like Triad even though we're not a dealer. Another dealer I know swears by CAT.

How about PMC?
I'm always right. The only time I was wrong was the time that I thought, that I was wrong.

Springs,

You're not alone. Been an NHT fan since 1991. Love those M5s.

What reps are in your area? What can you get proper support on? A speaker is only as good as the support.
