Golden Ear Triton7 spk: High-end or just mid -fi??

May need to sell my Acoustic Zen Adagios because I will be moving into a 1 bedroom apartment space (living room is 12.5 X 12.4 ) from a 2 bedroom apartment. Therefore, I need some about the Golden Ear Technology's Triton 7 speakers. either owners or serious auditioners of the Triton 7)

Does this model qualify as high end sound, or just an above average mid-fi home theater speaker?? I have read most of the reviews, and the speakers are almost a "ten" on the RAVE METER.

I have considered stand mounted monitors like the Reference 3A De Capo i ( not the new BE model) Totem's older models like the Arrow, Staff, Hawk which are very good, but still expensive even used; also, they are getting old in the tooth.

Open to other opinions about monitors, or small to medium floorstanders like the Triton 7 Thanks to all

I have the Triton 7s, and my apartment listening room is only a few square feet larger than yours. Unfortunately, the Triton 7s are gathering dust in a bedroom because they simply have too much bass for the room. Not only did they sound slightly boomy, but the energy/vibrations they released negatively affected my gear. The highs became smeared, and the whole soundstage sounded confused. At very, very low levels they were fantastic, but they were just too big (sound-wise) for my room. It's too bad, because they are very fine speakers. They just need much more space.
