GoldenEar Triton One

So what, almost all of our cell phones are made in China too. You have to remember this is an American company, manufacturing in China. It's not a Chinese owned company.

I have had my Triton Ones since January 2015 in a strictly 2 channel high end system. The soundstage extends way beyond the speakers, imaging is perfect, bass is to die for, mids are extremely smooth and the highs are very sweet with the perfect amount of sparkle. I had absolutely no regrets with these speakers and they always put a smile on my face. They can play extremely loud or extremely soft and never lose their balance.

One of my best audio purchases.

Haven't heard the T2's so can't comment. I am not a fan of B&W speakers in general and I auditioned 2 of the B&W speakers in addition to the T!. I'll sum it up in 2 words: too bright. Too bright with the type of music I listen to which is Rock from mid 60's to the present and some Jazz. I listen to Rock (Pink Floyd, Tool, Disturbed, Nirvana, etc 95% of the time. Perhaps for the type of music you listen to, the B&W's are a better choice.

Regarding the speakers being made in China, I would have gladly paid 8K for the speakers if they were made in the USA which is probably the price difference between China and the USA. These speakers are in a decent high end system 35K+ and the rest of my system, amp-Odyssey(USA), Tube Pre-Audible Illusions (USA), Turntable-VPI (USA), DAC-Wyred4Sound (USA), Tuner-Magnum Dynalab (Canada), all power cables and 3 power conditioners-Shunyata (USA), SACD player-Esoteric (Japan).

I feel no shame in the speakers being made in China with at least 80% of my system made in North America, the American worker has profited.

Kind of hypocritical aren't you? You sound off on my buying a pair of speakers made in China yet all your equipment is made everywhere but the USA and you have the audacity to justify it by saying you bought it all used.

Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.

That is great to hear. Unfortunately most audiophiles feel it is a home theater speaker which isn’t the case. This is a true audiophile speaker that happens to do home theater very well
