Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1

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.  

Avanti our 1r sound very dimensional and are anything other than flat. 

Now they do have some coloration in the midrange but overall their strengths far out weigh their weaknesses.

When you heard them what gear was being used with them?

Since opinions were asked for...

I've heard a couple GE Triton speakers but only at shows.

I'm not a fan of ribbon tweeters and the demos didn't convince me otherwise.

What I did hear, though, was quite a "lot of sound" for a lower price than many other manufacturers are asking.  Faint praise, it seems.  But I found them competent sounding, big, fairly spacious, without obvious defects.   But I found them tonally boring in a way that I could never live with personally.   But that's really subjective and I wouldn't propose my impression as a guide to anyone else, of course.

Continuing to list all of the products you sell is very helpful to all of us.  Thank you.
