Golden Ear or Elac?

Listen I wasn’t trying to disparage either speaker mentioned by the original poster. The comment was really tongue in cheek for the most part. Both brands are fine from the models I’ve listened to but not enough for me to purchase either. I owned Vandy 2ci’s a few years ago. Great speakers, I didn’t want to part with them but found something else that better suited my ears. I recently acquired ProAc DT-8’s and enjoy them more than most of the speakers I’ve owned over the years and I listen to pretty much every genre of music except rap. They play Pink Floyd and Liszt with equal enthusiasm but I get it ProAc’s aren’t everyone’s cup of tea and that’s OK !! Well, fella ’s I hope we are all still friends.

Go for Elac! :)

I have a pair of Triton 1s that I could be talked into selling. Just saying...

When did you purchase the 1s?  What are you hoping to move up to?

Interesting what has happened with the apparent perception of Golden Ear. Up till about 6 months ago, Golden Ear speakers were almost universally admired as great sounding, high value transducers.  As time has passed their luster has seemed to tarnish a bit.  Sort of surprising as we might have expected their "stock to rise" with the release of the Reference speakers.  Hmmmmm?
