My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow

Stereo5:

The sound is so effortless and smooth. I can finally hear my classic rock that way it should be heard.

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.

If you like the polite and very nonfatiguing sound of the folded ribbon tweeter, it might be hard to find anything else similar.

I am not finding it "polite" at all. It is quicker and more lively than the silk dome Scanspeak tweeter that is in my Odyssey Kismets or the Scanspeak dual ring silk dome tweeter in the VSA VR33 speakers. However, it does not sound bright at all and it adds the perfect balance to the speaker.

I listened all afternoon today, first to a remastered SACD of Red Hot Chili Peppers and the HD Tracks high rez version of "The Endless River" by Pink Floyd. I kept getting the chills while listening and can't remember when that has ever happened before the Triton One purchase. I can't really find any faults yet with the speakers and usually by this time, I would have had to talk myself into loving them like I did when I bought the Von Schweikert VR-33 speakers last year. Not so with the Triton Ones, they make everything I play a true joy to hear.

I am going to optimize the speaker position and install the factory supplied cones over the weekend. I may eventually buy nicer and heavier cones from Adona as the factory ones look kind of cheesy. I guess that is my only gripe about the speakers at present.

Stereo5 glad to hear that they recognized the quality problem and it isn't an ongoing issue. Sounds like you are going to spike (couple) the speakers to the floor rather than isolating them. Not sure if your subfloor is concrete or a suspended wood floor. A general guideline is spikes for concrete, isolation for suspended wood floors....a general guideline and not a rule.

+1 for Stereo5. The folded ribbon gives you all the music, characterized by a fast rise time and lots of air and detail. It just manages to do it without any harsh or irritating artifacts, such as--as mentioned before--overshoot and ringing. The GoldenEar tweeter reminds us of how much we've gotten used to harsh artifacts as part of an extended treble. It doesn't have to be that way, and removing the dirt doesn't make them "polite."
