GoldenEar Triton Reference for a large room...

Hi All:

i'm moving into an apartment with a large living room and am considering the GoldenEar Triton Reference speakers.

the issue with the large room (34 ft x 24 ft) is that there is a connected dining room nearby, and it is essentially open to each other, no doors, merely separated by one fireplace, so the bass will "leak" over to the dining room.  furthermore, the dining room has a wide hallway that leads to the kitchen, and there is also no doorway separating the dining room and the kitchen.

with all these connected spaces, my concern is that the bass would be lost or somehow discounted to a degree.  with that in mind, i am thinking of getting the References rather than the GoldenEar 1.R model, as the References have more robust bass drivers.

may i please ask the good folks here for thoughts, ideas, comments?

thank you in advance.

One other thought about the References:

considering that the speakers are in their 5th year (or thereabouts), with no stated improvements made since their introduction (i.e. no Reference 1.1), might these be a bit dated?

Quality control:  how do current owners of ANY GoldenEar speakers, especially the References, the Ones, the 1.Rs, etc, feel about the quality control?  either of the built-in amps, or any other aspects of their construction, their drivers, etc. please?

GoldenEar has been sold to Audioquest, is that also a risk to take into account?

these are some of the things on my mind.  i'd be grateful for the experienced folks here to give me your highly experienced comments, please.

thank you.

@audiotroy says

 

"with the tritons you can not tune the bass to match the  position in the room get a pair of legacys signatures and if more bass is required then a seperate sub

 

we used to sell the tritons legacys were far better the signatures are hand made in Illinoisand dont use chinese sourced drivers"

 

Seriously! Now that you don't sell them you are calling them trash. Less than a year ago you made sure everyone knew you were a dealer and talked about how good they were and what a screaming deal they are. Wow

Have you checked out the Paradigm Founder 120H for around the same price as the GEs? Those look pretty interesting.
