Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1

Rbach according to protocall, a dealer is supposed to announce they are dealers to frame the conversation.

Also Rbach if you have such an issue with our posts just don’t read them no one here is asking you to police the forums.

Also we have one of the larges collections of equipment on the East Coast so we have a ton of experience with many brands of loudspeakers, amplifiers etc.

So how many stores do you know that sell: Kef, Rethem, Dali, Quad, Elac, ATC, Cabasse, Paradigm, PSB, Legacy, Golden Ear as our principle lines?

We are one of the few Paradigm Persona 9H dealers, Kef Blade dealers and Legacy Aeris dealers.

Why do you think a dealer supports a line of products? Could it be that that dealer has tested many other lines? In the past we have had Usher, Tannoy, Esoteric, Gershman, Polymer Audio,System Audio, Elac, Jantzen, Von Schweikert,and a large number of others.

That is not to mention brands like Kharma that we auditioned in the shop.

One of the things that a dealer brings to the table is having experience by having different things demonstrable at the same time in the same place.

That is what dealers bring to the table.

Most of the current show demos with the Triton 1r the speakers sound very smooth in the top end

.

Good, then I'm sure an extended listening session with them will do nothing but gain the listener's accolades as well.

Heard the Reference at the NY Audio show last year. I can only give them the benefit of the doubt that something was wrong or broken because they were atrociously dull and flat. 

Noromance, they were showing them in a small room, with a $1,500.00 Peachtree audio amplifier over usb from a Laptop.

Also Noromance almost everything sucked at that show the entire show was a joke, the Magico A3 were horrifying only the Mura Audio speakers sounded good. 

They sounded pretty good agreeed they didn't sound fantastic with that setup.

Compare that sound to Axpona where critics were hailing the new Triton 1R as one of the greatest bang for the buck speakers ever made.

The Triton References will sound good to great depending on setup, in our room 18 by 14 10ft celings on good electronics and cabling Wire World Silver Eclipse and using Isoacoustics footers the sound comming from the Triton 1R is very competitive with more expensive speakers. 

Perfect no, if  you value bass clarity and tightness they are untouchable compared to some of our other speaker lines the midrange stil shows a bit of coloration but they soundstage really well and the treble is clean and clear without harshness.

I listened to the one quite a bit- did not care for it.  driver incoherence, image shifting and some detectable harshness at volume.  
The one/R sounded much better, the bass was phenomenal but the midrange was colored, flat and unnatural.  they sounded like speakers and not music.  
unfortunately speakers in this price range all tend to have flaws- you need to decide which ones you can live with.  
Look at the Spendor D7 if you want a more natural, transparent yet dynamic presentation.
