My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow

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.

Hi Stereo5, In the world of so many over price high-end speakers that frankly, I have not been impressed with most audiophile speaker's in general, even the speaker's I have listened to that are way north of $100,000.00!, I just took a look of your triton 1 speakers, and golden sound company for the first time, I am glad to see that they are based in the u.s.a, I say that you got a lot of speaker for the asking retail price for sure!, I read about speaker's that only do 33hz to 23 khz for the same money you paid for the triton 1 speakers, like the new Bryston middle T speaker's found on the front cover of stereophile magazine, I would like to listen to a pair of triton 1 speaker's, congrat's to you stereo5 for getting some good speced speaker's for a real world price instead of something that cost the price of Magico s-5 speaker's that are quite terrible sounding!

Audiolabyrinth.................

Thank you. To be honest, I feel a lot like you. I have heard many expensive speakers and most of them to my ears, sound like crap. These are the first speakers I have had that doesn't make me second guess my decision. Everything I have played so far has sounded better than any other speaker I had before these. The deep bass is astounding. I have an organ cd of Pictures At AN Exhibition and the deep organ notes are reproduced with no muddiness or distortion. Some of my cd's in my cd rack were vibrating but the speakers stayed rock solid.

Pink Floyd is now a joy to listen to on my system once again and I am quite impressed. I did have some issues with the first pair of speakers delivered to me, but the dealer promptly delivered another brand new set to me early the next morning. It really paid off to buy local for this purchase.

If you live in the New England area, you are more than welcome to listen to my system on a weekend.

What does it mean to be based in USA if made in China ?
