deafening Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Okay, I need your help and advice. We recently got the Event Tria Triamp system dumped on us with a keyboard. I haven't been able to find much out, but I think it's a monitor speaker system and they require a 5-pin connector? They went for about $900 retail and selling for $400 on ebay now. I know nothing about studio monitors and how they work in the casual listening world. I plan on upgrading my tt eventually and getting an integrated amp. I currently have Fluance SX6 bookshelf speakers. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Event-Tria-Triamplified-monitor-speakers-/321272917048 So my question is, is a monitor system like this worth trying to figure out over bookshelf speakers? and if so, how the hell do I do this/is this possible?

deafening Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Elaborate. I don't want them to collect dust if they don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajxd Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Collect dust? Just sell them. That's almost a weird PA system. The signal inputs are XLR. Are you wanting to only buy products with XLR outputs? That's not an at home listening system. Just sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Well, there's a simpler solution: http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Quality-3P-XLR-Plug-Male-to-RCA-Female-Jack-Adapter-Metal-Connector-/130967097164?pt=US_Cables_Snakes_Interconnects&hash=item1e7e3f4f4c If the speakers work well, why not.

allenh Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 are they powered monitors or passive? and are they near field or stage monitors? either way if they sound nice use them. There are quite a few speakers that were designed by the BBC here in the UK as near-field and mobile broadcast monitors that cause certain parts of the hifi fraternity to have kittens so there's nothing wrong with using monitors as home speakers if they are good quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 From the link it looks like an active 2.1 system. If I got it for free, I would definitely give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Drive them with a nice little valve pre and I bet it will sound quite nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Should have had a look at the ebay link myself, looks like a spekon type input so meant to be driven from a desk but a normal pre should drive the system fine, I wouldn't want to be too far from them or have them too far apart but looks to be quite nicely made. As Slinch says for free they can't be bad and are worth spending a bit on plugs and leads to see what they perform like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
