I'm putting together a simple setup for my bedroom and there's a million of these floating around eBay. How are the Triforce tweeters? Bad enough that I should look elsewhere or still better than anything new I could find today?

    First of all everyone's ears are different. I bought n sold speakers for a few years & I came across some of the non soft dome tweeters & to me they didn't sound too bad for what they are... Depends on your budget. Keep in mind the age & factor that VS new. Good luck on your decision

    Not bad at all IMO. Beat them with new at ~ $100? Forget about it.

    What are Triforce tweeters?
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    The post-Peerless Monitor 4 tweeters. I don't know the proper name for them but I've seen them referred to in this way on this forum. I believe another member made it up.

    Thank you.

    I've heard a pr. of monitor 4 with these tweeters and they sounded pretty darn good. It was a very large trift shop's warehouse size back room too. Many vendors were set-up back there. The speakers were not for sale. :D

    I guess the owner liked having them play all day behind the smaller front room.

    I'd bet they are still playing today. :)

    That was me. Video games is my biggest hobby and they resemble something from Zelda called the triforce just upside down. I didn't think other people were going to start calling them that though.

    Let's call them braided.
