Golden Ear Triton One vs Mythos ST-L Supertowers


At face value these two are essentially identical. Or are they? I'm considering one or the other and would appreciate the candid feedback of others. I've listened to the Golden Ears, but not the Mythos. Thanks.

Have not heard the Mythos, but did audition the Triton 1.  I was surprised and impressed.  Surprised because I was not expecting the quality of sound that was coming from these speakers.  The amount of bass can be controlled (a knob in the rear) to blend to your individual taste or room acoustics.  The mids were detailed and the highs were nicely extended and not harsh. Impressed because it gave you sound that you would expect from a much more expensive speaker.  I personally thought they could have paid more attention to its' design.  But that would involve a higher price tag.  With the equipment,  I think you would be very happy. Money well spent if you make the purchase.
In my opinion the mythos st-l are not even the equal of the mythos st they replaced.  Treble on the new models is quite hot, and the bass can be tricky to balance between too boomy and too absent.  Tried the st-l at home, at the urging of the dealer, and could not get them back to the dealer fast enough.  Owned the original Mythos st for a spell, and they were far more top to bottom complete sounding.

Can't speak for the Triton 1, but I have yet to hear a bad thing about them.  But, even without hearing them, I'd definitely point you in that direction, simply because the st-l, for me, was a headache inducing experience.
