GoldenEar Triton 1 vs. Triton 1R


I’m considering trading in my GoldenEar Triton 1’s fo Triton 1R’s.  Has anyone here done the same, and if so can you tell me what the differences are?

Surprisingly, checking out the Goldenear forum, there was only one detailed comparison of the 1 to the 1R.  Mostly discussing the TR.
I’d like more opinions.
On the basis of  recommendations and reviews, I’m most likely going to replace my Triton 1’s with 1 R’s.
Maybe I don’t know the name of my own speakers!
Seriously though, the Triton 1R replaced the Triton 1 around 2017.
The 1 is now discontinued.
I’m eagerly awaiting a trial pair of the Triton 1R speakers probably arriving tomorrow.  Hopefully they’ll be as superior to the Triton 1’s as everyone says.
I just hope they have the same wonderful characteristics, but are even better.
I’ll give my impressions once they arrive.
I have to say I’m not too sorry for the lack of a trial.  Everything I’m playing on the Triton1 sounds perfectly balanced and very transparent, whether it be orchestral, chamber or piano music..  I’m a happy camper.
The dealer has been giving me the runaround in setting a day for the home demo.
I guess the audio business is doing so well they can treat their customers with disdain.
In any event, my current system has been sounding so wonderful lately, I don’t now feel the need for improvement anymore.
They can forget about my business.
