GoldenEar Triton One

The Triton Ones are very transparent, detailed with bass that is balanced with regards to the mids and trebles. The soundstage was OK, but the store couldn't move the speakers any further from the side walls than about 2 ft. because of in wall speaker cables and only 3 ft. of play. The only main drawback would be that the speaker is entirely covered with a sock and if you are a cat lover, the speaker is one nice scratching post.

Just received mine this week... Don't let the home theater context fool you...these are awesome dedicated 2 channel stereo speakers. Although the other GE models (passive and active) are worth considering, and probably well worth the money, the Triton One is on a whole nother level. They are warm yet detailed...the bass is...well... something you need to experience for yourself (And no, I'm not a bass/buzz freak). The soundstage and transparency is akin to my previous Maggie 1.6s. I'm very pleased with them. The price tag is (for me) a tough pill to swallow...but I know I am getting my money's worth.

Made in China?

Dave 72, of course they are made in China. If fact all their speakers are made in China.
