Goose,
According to Golden Ear, the first speakers I received were from the first production run which had some problems. All the problems are worked out for the second production run which I now have. They are really sounding unbelievable. This is the first time I didn't have to "talk myself" into liking a new pair of speakers. |
I already sold them here on Saturday, sorry. |
"Hard to believe that this is anything more than a lateral move. Maybe not even that......"
lol, you are so WRONG. These speakers are light years ahead of the VR-33's. Finally, I have bass, not just bass but incredible bass and highs that are so sweet. The sound is so effortless and smooth. I can finally hear my classic rock that way it should be heard. This is the best move I ever made and I am ecstatic. |
Stereo5 - how much are you asking for your VR33's? |
Hard to believe that this is anything more than a lateral move. Maybe not even that......

Stereo5 hope they work out for you! I think you are correct that there is a general QC issue. I would guess that there is no checking (running and testing) the final speakers before shipment. That usually adds to the cost of the product. |
Decent guys over at Audio Concepts...... I have bought from them several times and they always treated me right. |
Stereo5, I'm not sure I would voice very much displeasure. It seems like the dealer did right by you and solved your problem very quickly.
However, I'm sure that Sandy Gross would be interested to hear your story and will probably investigate to see if there is a systemic problem.
Nonetheless, you now have a pair of *very* fine speakers - sit back and enjoy them...

You are wondering in Chinese contract Factory has QC problems ? |
I hope the third time's a charm. |
I had a bunch of issues with one of the Triton One towers. After an hour of playing, one of the speakers got very muffled and distorted. I did the usual swaps and found it was the speaker. I sent a message to my dealer last night and he was at my home this morning at 6:30am with a brand new tower. We uncrated it, he took the defective speaker and left.
I then noticed that the amp wasn't working in the new speaker he just delivered!!!! I sent the dealer another message and an hour later, he showed up at my house again with yet another new tower. Thankfully, this one is working fine. I am wondering of Golden Ear has QC issues. I plan on calling the company tomorrow to express my displeasure.
The dealer (Audio Concepts in Attleboro, Mass.) was wonderful and went many extra miles for me. I am glad I tipped the salesman yesterday when he brought me the first pair of speakers. |
Love to hear what you're experiencing as I'm in the middle of breaking in my new pair of monitors as well. It's a wonderful feeling to have and it renews my faith in this hobby.
Advances are made that elude us as we settle into our routines having 'completed' our systems. We tinker, we tool, we try various things of an ancillary nature perfecting the sound and it's only with a major component change comes around that it becomes obvious that that was what was needed.
Enjoy your new speakers and all the best,

I have been running them in since I set them up this morning at 11. I just kind of plopped them down in the general area, haven't tweaked yet or installed floor spikes (next weekend). I expected cold and sterile when first powered up and instead I got Goosebumps. |
Great fro you Stereo5, I appreciate your excitement. As mentioned in another post, I believe that the full line of Tritons are under-priced for the level of performance they offer. But one word of caution, you state
"It will be interesting to compare the two tomorrow before I pack the Von Schweikert's back up."
Make sure you give the Tritons a good break in before you compare. Remember the speakers you demo'd probably had many hours of break in when you heard them. If you compare now you may second guess your purchase and that can plant a "black seed" for future doubt.
Enjoy....I am sure you will |
