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.

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.

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 ...

+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."
Definitely not bright or fatiguing which is what I mean by polite. I did not get to listen long enough to form a full opinion but the Aon's in particular are speakers I would like to give more of a chance to personally.
Well Mapman I guess we agree after all, not only on the GE tweeter's listenable traits, but the particularly endearing traits of the Aon line.
My audition of Goldenears was brief but favorable with some material I am familiar with. Aon3s were solid all around and the best value for the price. The treble was the most distinctive feature of those for me. More polite than what I am used to is the best term I could come up with for it. I use that term with the mindset that a lot of live music I listen to is not always polite. With my daughter and her violin for example, the strings used make a big difference in regards to the overall tone. The better strings seem to have less edge similar to the folded ribbon compared to many others. I just need to listen more to decide if it is a natural thing or not. Definitely could be a great thing if one has ears that are sensitive well up to 20khz. Mine used to be when young but less so now that I am older. My first good speakers as a youth had Heil AMTs which were very similar in concept and I chose them specifically for that.
