GoldenEar Triton One

Stereo5: you miss my point.

At the audition that I was describing, the B&Ws just happened to be in the same room (so easy to hook up), and the CM10s were--of the selection there--the closest in price to the Tritons.

I wasn't recommending the B&Ws as such, just pointing out that the Tritons could sound pretty good on their own, but needed to be compared to another brand/model. I'm guessing many others could substitute for the B&Ws, though--personally--I was quite impressed by the CM10s (save for a slight bass rolloff).

Comparing the two, it became clear to me that the Triton 2s were engineered first for home theatre applications, and that for some people they would serve fine for stereo.

I haven't heard the 1s and don't know how much of an improvement they represent. But based on the experience with the 2s, careful auditioned--and above all, careful comparisons--are called for.

Kind of hypocritical aren't you? You sound off on my buying a pair of speakers made in China yet all your equipment is made everywhere but the USA and you have the audacity to justify it by saying you bought it all used.

Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.

No, no, I don't care what you buy, I was voicing my opinion against Chinese made stuff with high end prices, which is ridiculous, imo.

Yes, that's true, I have no US made equipment at the present time. I bought all of it new, actually. Whenever it is that I upgrade, that will change.

Hypocrites and sinners in general often give the best advice .

God made the world.
China made everything else.
