Looking to upgrade from my Goldenears


Greetings!

i currently have a Pair Of Goldenear Triton 5s with two JL Audio Dominion 8” subs. They’re powered by a Parasound Halo A21 Amp and P5 Pre-Amp.

I’m looking to upgrade my speakers and have been looking at the Legacy Focus or Classic Speakers.

i listen to a wide variety of music, but mostly Hard Rock and the Grateful Dead. A lot of live stuff. What Speakers do you think would do well with my Amp?
My budget would be up to 7k for the pair.
thanks!

Itzhak1969, I like the Tritons. However, I’m an old school guy and I’d like something that wouldn’t require 2 subs to get the Bass where I like it and the styling and design of the Legacy Speakers seems to be more to my liking. 

The Tritons are very detailed and have a great sound, but don’t quite rock out like I prefer. I’m hoping to try some different speakers that will have a bit more punch in them.
Bigjohn the slam you are looking for has a lot to do with your setup.

The Golden Ears tend to be a bit on the warm side in the treble, so are the Parasound components.

So the lack of slam may because of a number of factors including the combination of electronics and speakers.

A brighter set of cabling and or a dac change may really help, what are you using for these components are you using the built in dac of the P5 if so how are you feeding the P5?

We are Parasound dealers and the P5 is an okay piece the new P6 is way better in every parameter.

Also moving to a tube preamp will do wonders for you setup.

As per speakers we are legacy dealers and a pair of Signatures will be right up your alley, the tonality is similar with greater clarity in the treble and midrange as both drivers are more advanced Heil AMT then in the Golden Ears and the Golden Ear is using conventional midrange drivers vs the Heil AMT tweeter and Heil AMT midrange in the Legacy also the Legacy lower midrange driver is a combination of silk and graphite and it is excellent driver, combine this with beautiful wooden cabinets, a huge soundstage, and punchy bass you should be very happy with the switch.
