So the ability to essentially boost the bass in speaker on the Triton reference is likely what is making you prefer it for rock music — which a lot of is recorded pretty thin. Is that what I’m gathering?
Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back?
I've listened to both, and each has its pluses and minuses. Unfortunately, I can't listen to them side by side as they are at different dealers. :-(
I listen to a lot of classic rock and I'm not sure the Focals are up for the challenge. The Refs sound a bit fuller (to my ears) and I think adapt better to rock music....especially with the built in subs.
Obviosly the Focal are GORGEOUS and sound incredible...but for $5k ish more?
Im looking to buy one or the other in the next 30 days. Any advise or input would be helpful.
Thx

Listen to Sopra 2 at Los Angeles Audio show last summer. Focal Sopra 2 It was the best sound at the show. |
Triton Reference does everything well. Nothing (IMO) in its price category can best it for bass. As to physical appearance, personally I prefer the Reference over the Focals. I can’t get past the "bent" look. EDIT: Also worth mentioning as its relatively recent news, the Golden Ear Triton Reference has won Secrets Speaker of the Year Award. https://hometheaterhifi.com/features/best-of-awards/secrets-best-awards-2017/ |
