Magico vs the world

J. Chip,

I agree that placement isn't that critical with the Triton series, but I spent days moving my speakers  to get the best imaging I could.  I am using Triton Ones in my other system and have been thinking of getting the One R for that system.   If our current nightmare ever ends, I will audition the Triton One R speakers. b I am glad you like them, I have heard many good things on the GE forum about them.

As always, what works great in one system may not be as good in another. For me, the Triton 1r's  are ideal. Their high sensitivity (92 spl) and the fact that they have their own powered bass drivers allows me to drive them effortlessly with my modestly powered 50w tubed mono blocks (Cary Audi Six Pacs). Im using a Prima Luna Dialogue Premium tube pre amp and the combination is so musical that I dont even think about hardware anymore. I'm sure there are things I could do to tweek and improve the overall sound but it sounds so good that I'm reluctant to touch anything. I have a Classe 175w SS stereo amp as a backup for when I just want to have background music for parties, etc. Helps keep hours off the tubes. Listen to mostly Jazz and my source is a relatively unknown CD player from Sweden (XTZ 100) which is build like a brick shithouse and pairs up nicely with my gear. Only thing I'm considering is adding a Schitt Bitfrost 2 outboard DAC.  Very, very happy.

J.Chip,

Your description has piqued my interest immensely.  Once the restrictions are relaxed, I will contact the local dealer where I bought my  last 3 pairs of GE speakers.  I have been dealing with them for years.  My wife was in the owners class in Catholic High School.  I am sure he will be doing "by appointment only" within the next couple of months.  Enjoy your speakers, I love mine.

Love my Energy RC-70’s
  dislike treble heavy speakers.

these Energy’s are my grail!

 I love. Them!

I agree with most of you who said they are exceptional speakers. I still remember hearing the m2 and it was just incredible. The only speaker that I can say was definitely better was the tidal contriva g2. But that carbon fiber and aluminum build quality is just so nice.
