Are you actually building an eight-zone system, or buying ahead of need? At US$395, this is a fair-to-upper-market ask: above the US$300 median and just below the US$400 75th percentile from 105 recent comparable listings. It is not a bargain, but it is defensible if complete, tested, and in clean condition.
The V2 earns its keep with flexible eight-source/eight-zone distribution, analog and digital inputs, 192 kHz/24-bit support, per-zone volume and EQ, delay, and useful 2.1 subwoofer grouping. It is especially attractive in a Control4-based installation, with Ethernet, OvrC/SDDP integration, and 12V triggers for compatible amplifiers. At this price, verify every zone and input, confirm network/control operation, and make sure the rack ears and power accessories are included; otherwise, negotiate toward the median.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Triad: Heritage and Positioning
Triad was founded in 1981 in Portland, Oregon, where it remains headquartered and manufactures its products today. The company has built its reputation over more than four decades as a specialist in custom audio solutions, hand-crafting speakers to order in its own factory using eco-friendly processes. This commitment to domestic manufacturing and bespoke production has become central to Triad's identity in the premium audio market.
The brand's product portfolio centers on architectural and custom installation speakers, encompassing in-wall, in-ceiling, in-room, and on-wall loudspeaker designs tailored for residential applications. Triad has expanded significantly in recent years, introducing amplifiers, home cinema speakers, and subwoofers alongside its core speaker offerings. The company has also established itself as a pioneer in immersive audio technologies, delivering solutions optimized for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro 3D formats—positioning it squarely in the high-end home theater and whole-home audio segment.
Triad occupies a luxury tier of the audio market, distinguished by its emphasis on design aesthetics, sonic performance, and customer service. The brand targets custom integrators and discerning residential clients seeking premium, visually integrated audio solutions rather than traditional component-based systems. Its hand-built manufacturing process, American production, and focus on bespoke customization reinforce its positioning as a high-end boutique manufacturer rather than a mass-market player, appealing to audiophiles and integrators who prioritize craftsmanship and tailored solutions.
