I have heard some of the older KEF reference series. They sound great but I don't think can compare to some newer designs. I would go for the Triton 1 between the 2. I had them for less than a year and thought they were really good. Only sold them because I thought I needed bookshelfs for the small room I was being banished to. Since then I have knocked down a wall in the man cave and have a descent sized room. I now have the Double Impact and IMO it bests the Triton 1 by quite a bit. Wish I could still hear them side by side.
