Golden Ear or Elac?

I am biased to GE as I own both the Triton References and the Triton Ones.  It has gotten me off the speaker merry go round. I ave had 6 other pairs of speakers over the past 5 years.  These are the “keepers”.

The References are definitely worth the extra money.  Bass is much more articulate, the speakers can play much louder without strain, midbass is better due to the 2 6' midbass drivers and overall sound is much more relaxed.  Dynamic range is much improved as well.  The Triton Ones are a bit less in those areas.

The post specifically asks about Elac and Golden Ear. I don’t see Proac mentioned anywhere. I owned Proac about 20 years ago. The words slow, thick and British Sound comes to mind. No thank you!  BTW, Red Sox rule.  Best record in both leagues.

Buckner was an embarrassment that day and should not have been playing.  Clemens over pitched too many fastballs and Calvin Shiraldi was too inexperienced  to be the closer in such an BIG game.  I didn't sleep for a week after that and didn't follow the Sox for 10 years as punishment.  All is forgiven now.  You are right, I should lighten up.

Yes seriously. I bought it from Ocean State Audio which sold Krell, Aragon, Vandersteen, Proac, Well Tempered, etc. It was a 2 way floorstanding speaker with a 7 or 8 inch woofer and a dome tweeter. Never could get it to sound the way I liked.  They just didn't do Rock well. I suffered for 2 years with them before I moved to Vandersteen 3A speakers. As the dealer didn’t take trade ins, I had to sell them locally by putting a Classified in the Providence Journal. I just remembered now (actually my wife corrected me) I had these speakers from 1990-1992 so it is more than 20 years.
