Emotiva T1 Towers - Audiophile Quality or Just Home Theatre Towers?


I don't have an Emotiva dealer near me but the few reviews out there are pretty positive of these Emotiva T1 towers. Have the AMT ribbon tweeter like Golden Ears but a faction of the cost at $700/pr.  Has anyone demoed these? Heard them side-by-side against more expensive speakers? Are they just punchy rock speakers or for home theatre, or are they transparent enough for classical, jazz?  

Thanks for any comments

While the tweeter may look the same, it isn't the same as the Golden Ear.  I have no experience with Emotiva speakers, but I had their electronics and bright and thin was my thinking.  Cheap mid fi gear at best.
80% of the Triton 1 speakers.  That leaves 20% which is the most important.
