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.

It's nice to know that a US based company is employing Chinese workers to manufacturer it's products. To some price will override considerations of the where it is manufactured but not to all.

The question from a QC point is whether the speakers are "jobbed" out or the manufacturer has their OWN in house QA/QC people ensuring that the product is right when it leaves the factory. It seems in this case based on two faulty speakers with unrelated issues that this is something that is most likely not isolated but hopefully not typical. You are fortunate to have a great dealer Stereo. It is certainly not a speaker I would consider unless purchased from a local dealer.

On the speaker boxes it says: designed In America, manufactured in China. I don't see the big deal, all our phones, tablets, Apple products are made in China. If you don't like where they are made, then don't consider or buy them. FYI these speakers are sold ONLY via brick and mortar stores. If you see them for sale on the Internet (new) then you are buying gray market goods with no warranty.

What is everyone's problem with them being made in China. We buy audio components from many foreign country's like Germany, UK, Japan, etc. so why diss China? Most of my system comes from the USA with the exception of the speakers and my Esoteric SACD player.

Because Chinese labor is essentially slave labor.
All the BS about my factory is better is just that,BS.

Doesn't seem hard to understand.

Schubert & other complainers..............

Thanks for crapping on my new speakers. Here I am sharing the excitement of my new speakers and you people have to be jerks and complain about them being made in China. Since it's my hard earned money that I worked for, I will spend it the way I want.
