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

Still waiting for my pair of Reference as well.  I am keeping my Triton Ones though and moving them into my secondary system.  The Triton Twos in the secondary system will be posted for sale by end of Summer.

I never heard the double impact speakers but I did have a pair of the Pendragons in my system for a period of a week.  Personally, I didn't care for them so back they went to the factory.

I agree with you 100%.  I feel he is shilling for Tekton.  I tried a pair of their Pendragons 2 years ago at my home was very unimpressed.  I kept asking where is the bass?

I think you and I are 5-6 weeks away to our GE References.  I was told they will be arriving  to the US warehouse by July 10th, then off to the various dealers.  I've been waiting since February 15th and am getting very antsy. I hope they are as easy to dial in as the Triton 1 were.

i agree with you. I have never had muddy bass or bright/shrill highs on either my Triton Ones  which are driven by a Mac 200wpc integrated.  I also am using. Mac tube pre with a Mac 150wpc power amp on my Triton References and the music is wonderful.  I don’t do home theater  either.  The stores where the people had a terrible audition tells me the speakers were just plopped in a spot and hooked up.  That was the case with the Triton Ones when I auditioned them. I almost didn’t buy them but they were playing mp3 on them so I took a chance. I am very glad I did.
