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.

The Chinese people are capable of very good work. The biggest problem is they are told to make a $10 item for 75 cents and it doesn't/ can't even resemble the original item, and if they come up with a product which makes money, the design is quickly sent to another factory, where they will make it cheaper. You will see your exclusive product sold by everyone at the Canton fair.

The people who work with my wife in China are free to change jobs, like in the US., and do. There is migration of labor to better paying areas, and wages are rising, which is why people are looking to Vietnam. I am sure there are places which are like Shubert says, but I have not heard any stories like that. I know the worker are working in unconditioned spaces, but in the factories everyone is, from the top to bottom, once you get into China.

Schubert, I fully agree with your ethical and moral view.

I started this thread to share my excitement of the Triton Ones which I bought local and brand new. Normally I buy used here, but every once in a while, I buy new. So, this was extra special to me. I planned on updating this post as the speakers broke in and what I thought about it's strengths vs. weaknesses.

Instead this has turned into questioning about my buying something GASP, "made in China". Then my values are brought up. Thread Closed.

Hi Stereo5 .....I'm sorry you're all bummed out now, and it's too bad that this thread has made a turn for the worse. I am very happy for you, and I think your enthusiasm over your new speakers is fantastic ! I wish you many, many hours of listening pleasure, and I'm sure that your favorite music will sound great through your new Triton Ones. Good Luck with them and enjoy !

Isochronism, that Einstein statement might well be the truest ever to pass human lips.
I say what I do not because I enjoy it, I don't, but because I know every one of us and all of us, are better off living in reality in the long run , painful as it may be at a given time.
For most of us, including me, our sins of omission are far greater than the ones of commission.
