Will be updating my living room/theater soon and thinking of changing the current speaker system.I'm a CI so have access to both brands and more.

3.5m (11ft) wide (speakers wall) and 5.2m(18ft) long 2m high (6'6") room consists of,
42" Panasonic plasma for main viewing
84" stewart firehawk screen and Sony VW95 projector for films etc
Anthem MRX700 AVR
RTI control
Front speakers are 3 x inwall Mirage HDT
Rears are Mirage OMR2's x4
1 x Velodyne DD12 cecessed into a wall (not ideal)

Option 1:
3 x Triad silver 6 LCR
4 x onwall bronze surrounds
2 x Inwall bronze 6 subwoofer with 2 x rack 350's

Option 2:
3 x Paradigm SA3 LCR
4 x millenia ADP
Inwall subwoofer?

I want to get rid of the recessed Velodyne as its not ideal and not performing as good as it should and use inwall subwoofers. Mainly due to having a 3 year old son and Dog. Will the Inwall subwoofers outperform the underperforming Velodyne? What would you do?

Do use the Triad inwall subs. I like Triad but their speakers are pure monitors with 100% accurate reproduction.....meaning theyr seem to lack any unique signature sound. I know that is the goal of any actual monitor and they do a good job of it but.....

My only real world experience with Triad monitors was their Inwall bronze LCR. I will admit they have a very open sound stage and played very well with the crappy Yamaha I put on them. I should have never tried them with a lower end AVR. Put power into them and YMMV.


I cant speak on the Paradigm stuff at all.

My favorite Inwall is the Totem Tribe series. If you have access check them out. You wont look back.

Triad!

Triad +1

I have Triad silvers plus the older silver inwall sub in my family room and love it.

I wouldn't use the Paradigm in wall. The back box is not all that well constructed.

+1 Triad, but consider bigger subs. InWall Silvers are great (but 15" deep).

Looks like most are in favour of the triads.
Subwoofer side does concern me, I want an inwall at front so the bronze 6 fits, but do I add a second bronze 6 at the front or add a small in room at the rear side?

Having the second sub be mobile will let you play with postion to fine tune room response and hopefully deal with any bad nulls other room mode issues. Maybe start with the DD-12, and if it still bothers you, upgrade it.

Triad = awsome
