Just received mine this week... Don't let the home theater context fool you...these are awesome dedicated 2 channel stereo speakers. Although the other GE models (passive and active) are worth considering, and probably well worth the money, the Triton One is on a whole nother level. They are warm yet detailed...the bass is...well... something you need to experience for yourself (And no, I'm not a bass/buzz freak). The soundstage and transparency is akin to my previous Maggie 1.6s. I'm very pleased with them. The price tag is (for me) a tough pill to swallow...but I know I am getting my money's worth.
