Was considering the triton 1.r's
Speaker Recommendations budget of <6k new or used
Hi newbie.
Looking for some speaker recommendation for new speakers at home. I don't have a dedicated room listening area is around 14x12 ceiling height is prolly 10 feet. Room is not treated.
Associated equipment are VPI Prime sig with transfiguration axia s cart. Zesto 1.2 Andros Phonostage, Zesto Let 1.0 Preamamp, Zesto Bia 120 Stereo amp. Kimber Hero interconnects and Kimber Monocle XL for speaker cables.
I play a little bit of everything. But mostly rock. Current speakers are Tannoy XT8F Floorstanders.
Budget is <6k new or used. I don't have a ton of space so I might place the speakers close to the wall.
So far I've audition Wilson Sabrina's (Love it but out of my price range.)
Harbeth's SuperHL's Plus and the 3.2 anniversaries.
TIA

Lestelpaul you will be amazed by them. We have followed Golden Ear for years and quite frankly only wanted them for our Home Theater setups. Our previous demos at other dealers with the older Tritrons were good but not convincing enough for us to want to actually sell the speakers either they sounded too recessed in the midrange with too much bass and the treble was either bright or dull. Sandy totally redesigned the drivers, tweeked the crossover and made some improvements in the cabinet and boom all the older defects we heard just went way. Then last year at the New York Audio show a pair of Triton Reference were sounding good on a very inexpensive Peachtree audio amp and dac less than $2,500.00 for the electronics and dac. At Axpona we wanted to hear the Golden Ears again, here the electronics were much better Prima Luna amp and preamp and perhaps a Mcintosh CD player a better showing but still hardly very expensive gear. The sound as Axpona was so good, we begged Sandy to let us have the line, walking nearly the entire show for three days the Golden Ear demo still was so inspiring that we came to the conclusion that for the money there was nothing at the show that could touch that setup which embarassed a lot of really expensive setups. After the show we think both Stereophile and the Absolute Sound also lauded the room as being a standout and a standout for the price. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/axpona-2019-andrew-quint-on-loudspeakers-under-20000/ Andrew Quint’s Best of AXPONA 2019 Most Significant Product Introduction Most Important Trend Best Sound (for the money) Our demo room is 18 by 14 with a 10 foot ceiling and the speakers work fabulously well in that room, your room is a bit smaller but with the adjustable bass you should be able to find a point where the bass is good tight without enough extension without it being too much.
