Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers


With so much positive information about both do you have a preference? Have you heard both?

I owned the Triton 1 for about 6 months. Very good speaker IMO. I feel the DIs do everything at least a little better. 
I have to say I think the GE sensitivity is deceiving. I found they were waay better with a high current ss amp. They sounded good with tubes but lost lots of impact. The class D amps that power the woofers take on the characteristics of the amp to match the mids and highs which makes sense. 
The DIs despite their 4 ohm rating do much better with tubes IMO. Maybe a flatter impedance curve? Not sure. At the end of the day I found the best combo with both speakers is a tube pre with ss amp. 
Kost,

How many speakers have you successfully designed and brought to market? The DIs especially at their price point are absolutely a success. Do you see a thread with thousands of posts debating your prized Focals? Your ridiculous. I await your snarky little response. 

I had mildly muddy bass with the Tritons when I had them but I was running with a tube amp. The internal amplification seemed to accentuate the tubes. Much better firmer bass when switched to high current ss amp with tube pre.
