I own the Triton Ones and I absolutely LOVE them. My living room is only 16 by 18 with a 9 1/2 foot ceiling and the speakers sound incredible. I have had many other speakers in my living room like Vandersteen, DeVore, Paradigms, Odyssey and Von Schweikert. To my ears, the Triton Ones trounce all the other speakers I have lived with over the years.

The speakers were very easy to place and after about 60 hours of playing time, really opened up. The folded ribbon tweeter is so smooth and sweet sounding. The midrange is perfect and the bass will rattle your windows and walls. The imaging is unbelievable, the sound is almost holographic. I purchased these speakers in very early January and I am more enthused with them now than when I first bought them.

I am amazed every time I fire up the system, and I no longer fall asleep listening like I did with all my previous speakers. I listened for 3 hours straight this afternoon, listening to The Stone Temple Pilots "Core", "Broken China" by Richard Wright (Pink Floyd) and "Dire Straights" by Dire Straights. If I didn't have to cut the lawn,. I would have sat there all afternoon.

While I am not crazy in love with the sock look of the speakers, I would rather have true audiophile approved high end sound, than a walnut cabinet. I know there are a lot of haters because the speakers are also used for home theater, but if you pass them by because of that, it's your loss.
I spoke with Sandy Gross about the room size and placement before I bought the Triton Ones. I was worried the bass would overload the room, especially since one of the speakers is closer to the rear wall than the other. I was assured by Sandy that the level control on the speaker for the bass output would take care of any problems I might encounter. He was 100% correct. I didn't audition any of the other GE Speakers as I was only interested in their top of the line product. If I settled for less, it would have eaten my heart out wondering.

I have never, ever heard a pair of speakers that does all music well before these. Very highly recommended.
