"Steven Stone was blown away by the awesome performance of this high-end speaker package. It's immense dynamic range, ability to provide a thrilling home theater experience in a large listening space, and sheer impact left him reaching for superlativies. The Platinum subwoofers that filled out the system were also the best he has heard in his test studio."

Stereophile Ultimate AV, January 2007

"While the high volume performance of these speakers is unmatched in my experience, it was their dynamic ability that made me covet them. You might not even know what dynamics at this level even sound like. I certainly did not, and now that the Triads are gone, I miss it. The most important thing exceptional dynamics add to musical reproduction is excitement. With poor dynamics, movie sound tracks and music sound flat and dead. The Triads made every movie, every audio track sound alive with excitement and emotion."

Secrets of Home Theater & High Fidelity, July 2006

"The result is a subwoofer with an extremely linear phase response, minimal group delay, exceptional transient response, and virtually no acoustic resonances in the pass band…exceptional performance on music, with outstanding balance, pitch, coherence, and very deep in-room extension

Home Theater Magazine, Nov 2005

"Rocking the house is one of Triad's specialties... In addition to the smooth tonal balance, the speakers throw a phenomenally deep soundstage, or impression that sounds occur beyond the plane of the speakers... In every respect, the speakers offer truly high-quality performance, so much so that I may try to barter with them to let me use the speakers as a reference in Digital TV & Sound's new testing lab. "

Digital TV & Sound, vol 2, num 3, Heard But Not Seen -Mike Wood

"The Triad In-Wall Silver/4 Monitors are among the most musical in-wall loudspeakers I have evaluated. Their sound quality is outstanding on every genre of music and they make a good choice for film soundtracks as well. In addition, they are one of the best-built in-wall loudspeakers I have reviewed. "

"Within this price range, the Triad InRoom Gold LCRs are hard to beat...The Gold LCRs are accurate, open, and punchy, which makes them suitable for listening to music and movies... The InRoom Gold PowerSub is a great subwoofer, with impeccable detail and very fast response. "

"I was graciously invited to visit their 33,000 square foot design and manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon, for a personal tour of the one of a kind facility, where they build each loudspeaker they sell, one at a time, made to order"

Widescreen Review Issue# 99

"Perhaps what I found most appealing about the Gold MiniMonitors was their bass response. With little power, they were able to produce ultra tight, radiant mid-bass down to what seemed to be 70 to 90 Hz. The mid-range met with equal splendor as guitars and bass were reproduced with intent and accuracy. The Triad's had the edge over other high end bookshelf speakers I've auditioned when it comes to bass extension and slam"

Audioholics, Triad Strikes Gold - December 2004 - Steve DellaSala

"Annual surveys of CEDIA-type AV dealers reveal Triad to be one of the industry's most admired brands, with a reputation for no-BS engineering, predictably excellent sound quality, and unfailingly good value"

Stereophile's Ultimate A/V, Way Down Deep Part II- October 2004 - Keith Yates

"The speakers are in a rigid, fully sealed, acoustically right enclosure, just like a freestanding speaker, so you get the high-resolution performance and impact you expect. These are the best sounding in-ceiling speakers I have ever heard"

Connected Magazine - Nothing Short of Stunning, - October2004 - Allan Stevens

"EH Product of the Year...Triad uses the best materials to produce some of the loudspeaker industry's best values, and with the company applying its engineering and experience to an on-wall speaker the environmentally challenged homeowner will now have a performance based audio product to buy".

Electronic House - September 2004 - Products of The Year

"Triad Loudspeakers boast low-distortion, high-sensitivity and high-power handling making them adept at reproducing music and movie soundtracks–from subtle nuances to the thunderous pyrotechnics of action films"

CEDIA Daily's - September 2004 -Day Two Edition

"They just sound awesome, and we've never had a return...Also, you can get products custom-made by them which could prove beneficial in the most challenging installations."

Residential Systems, Triad Silver Series Speakers - August 2004 - Alan Pickering

"At last year's CEDIA Expo, I informally polled several dozen prominent custom A/V installers for their preferred speaker and subwoofer suppliers. Most were dealers for at least a few of the best-known brands, but the most oft-mentioned name turned out to be Triad. Based in Portland, Oregon, this relatively quiet company has been producing high-performance, high -value products for 21 years"

Home Theater Magazine, Bass Bustin' Out All Over - Nov. 2003 - Keith Yates

"If only sheetrock dust were an aphrodisiac – after hacking and ripping my way through the installation of eight pairs of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers (plus one monumental pair of in-wall subwoofers), I'd be damn near the sexiest man alive. As it is, after the White Sands National Monument, my lungs are now the biggest repository of gypsum dust on the planet. Once again, I've risked life and limb just so we can survey the state of custom install speaker industry and give you a feel for what your money can buy in terms of ease of installation, aesthetics, and – most importantly, sound quality"
