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.

Has anyone had a chance to audition the Triton Ones with the Triton Twos, side by side?

All this love for the Ones has got me thinking.

A couple of months ago I auditioned the Twos. They sounded just fine. Then we substituted the B&W CM10s, and I'm afraid it was no contest: the B&Ws were more fleshed out, more timbrally rich and nuanced, more like complex real instruments in real space.

From all the love they're receiving, it seems as if the Ones are a significant step up over the Twos. The review in Stereophile also seems to suggest as much. Can anyone confirm?

I assume Schubert has not bought a mobile phone, and would not express his values on a computer keyboard.

Sometimes the temptation to post a comment unrelated to the thread is too difficult to pass up. I realized this when I posted my first response on this thread. It REALLY is unfair to rain on the parade of Stereo5 in his enthusiasm of his new speaker. This is afterall an audio site not a political one. It is disrespectful to the OP and regardless of where it is manufactured this has no bearing on the topic of this thread. We should all share in his enthusiasm, respect him and encourage one another in our pursuit of musical enjoyment. Unfortunately all too often threads veer so far off the original topic that we fail in our zeal to exercise restraint.
