Golden Ear Triton One vs Mythos ST-L Supertowers

Triton Ones= much improved bass and smoother treble. Mythos=good bass but not outstanding and highs that bothered my ears. I bought the Triton Ones.

Thanks Stereo5. I'm leaning that way myself. Assuming you've had the T1s for at least 6 months, any "issues" (good or bad) with them you are aware of and can share?

"At face value these two are essentially identical."

What would lead you to believe that?

Zd542, price, size, specs on paper, same principal owner. Hence I state "at face value".

I see what you mean, but one speaker has a ribbon tweeter, and the other is aluminum. For me, at least, that's a very big difference. But I'm very picky when it comes to high frequencies.

I'm not sure if I'm right on this, but it makes sense. Def-Tek is known to be more of a HT speaker than music. Since its the same owner, Golden Ear may be designed as a music first speaker, in an attempt to gain that segment of the market. If that's the case, I would expect the bass on the Golden Ear to be very different. Def-Tek is loud and "boomy" in the bass. Most audiophiles don't care for that and want something more controlled and musical.
