Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1

I'm moving to a larger house and want some new speakers.  In spite of the cheesy name the GoldenEar Triton 1 looks like an interesting candidate. It's been a long time since I listened to a ribbon tweeter but I remember liking them.  Will some of you who have experience with these speakers please comment on what you did and did not like about them?  Also, what other choices in that price range stand out as being a "bargain"?  
Thanks for your comments.

jaytor,
Your user impressions match my show-listener impressions.I found the Tritons to sound a touch "dark" and boring myself.Just didn't do anything to make me want to stick around and listen.

It is quite normal in these forums for the haters to diss Golden Ear.

I really like the whole line.I just wished they had wider dispersion. They have  A very narrow Sweet spot...

Actually Jimimac they have a much bigger sound stage if you set them up correctly, 

If you set them up correctly, which tends to mean far apart with a very sharp turn in the face of the speakers.  they sound quite big, if you send us pictures of your room we can advise you.

Prof, the earlier Triton did sound dark and  where a bit boring.
