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

What are your top priorities in terms of sound reproduction? You stated what you don't want to give up, but that's not really the whole picture and would be very helpful to know more about your preferences.

One thing to consider is you have a nearly square room, which can be a nightmare in terms of bass reinforcement and boom. I'd stick to smaller speakers and augment with a sub if you need more bass so you can better control and manage bass issues.

Of the options mentioned the DeCapos and Minuets could be very good candidates to explore. There's also a pair of Joseph Audio RX7XLs for sale here that may be a great option if imaging and soundstaging along with musicality are priorities. Best of luck.
