My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow

I bought a pair of Triton Ones on Wednesday and they are being delivered tomorrow morning. I was extremely impressed by the demonstration and promptly bought a pair. This is the first time in years I got something new, in a sealed box. I am excited and won't sleep much tonight.

I really loved the ribbon tweeters sound but I am wondering if it may bother me over the long haul? I always feel this way when putting something new or different into my system, I guess it's the typical audiophile way of thought. These speakers are replacing a pair of Von Schweikert VR-33 speakers which I am selling in a classified. It will be interesting to compare the two tomorrow before I pack the Von Schweikert's back up.

I just wanted to share my enthusiasm.

"Hard to believe that this is anything more than a lateral move. Maybe not even that......"

lol, you are so WRONG. These speakers are light years ahead of the VR-33's. Finally, I have bass, not just bass but incredible bass and highs that are so sweet. The sound is so effortless and smooth. I can finally hear my classic rock that way it should be heard. This is the best move I ever made and I am ecstatic.

Stereo5 - how much are you asking for your VR33's?

Goose,

According to Golden Ear, the first speakers I received were from the first production run which had some problems. All the problems are worked out for the second production run which I now have. They are really sounding unbelievable. This is the first time I didn't have to "talk myself" into liking a new pair of speakers.

I'm late to this thread, but your reaction here well describes that motion transformer tweeter. I have heard the Triton 2s, Aon 3s, and Triton Sevens, and of course all have that folded ribbon tweeter.

You were worried about whether those tweeters would bother you over the long haul. Au contraire, mon ami. The folded ribbon tweeter is so smooth and natural, totally devoid of dome tweeter artifacts such as overshoot and ringing, that it's a happy transition to hear just the musical signal without the mechanical artifacts.

A 1" dome radiator has about 3/4 sq. in. of radiating surface. The GoldenEar folded ribbon has more like 3-4 sq. inches. More radiating surface means smaller excursions and lower inertial artifacts. No metal or dome means no ringing. It's the easiest thing to get used to.

Congrats and enjoy your new speakers.
