which would you buy?


The Kef q900 or the Golden ear triton 7? Both about the same price $1500.

Room is about 15 x 15. No sub wanted. (Apt/condo)
The triton 7 sounded good but I haven't heard the Kef but they get good reviews. I listened to the new paradigm prestige 85f? They were nice but over my budget at 2k per speaker. I did hear a kef r700 that was also over budget at $1700 per speaker and sounded too large for my room. So I thought the cheaper kef or triton might work well.

The focal 836v look to be an impressive speaker too. I'll have to see if there are any local dealers that have them. I may be able to spend $2k in order to best the AE Aegis 3, but if I choose wisely, they new speakers will last me a decade. It's the delicate balance of finding the right dac+integrated around $1500"ish" to tie the chain together in shockingly glorious acoustic bliss that makes me say "damn that sounds mind blowing" 2 years down the road long after the newness of a recent purchase wears off.
I would choose the Kef Q900s. I've owned the R700 and was surprised at how good the Q900 sounded compared to the R series speakers given the price difference. I have heard most of the Goldenear Triton speakers and haven't liked them as well as the Kefs.
Teflonscoundrel, thank you.
Telescope_trade , I am not familiar with Silver line prelude. Had 2 Honda preludes, liked those. ;-)
