Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1


I'm moving to a larger house and want some new speakers.  In spite of the cheesy name the GoldenEar Triton 1 looks like an interesting candidate. It's been a long time since I listened to a ribbon tweeter but I remember liking them.  Will some of you who have experience with these speakers please comment on what you did and did not like about them?  Also, what other choices in that price range stand out as being a "bargain"?  
Thanks for your comments.

I listened to the one quite a bit- did not care for it.  driver incoherence, image shifting and some detectable harshness at volume.  
The one/R sounded much better, the bass was phenomenal but the midrange was colored, flat and unnatural.  they sounded like speakers and not music.  
unfortunately speakers in this price range all tend to have flaws- you need to decide which ones you can live with.  
Look at the Spendor D7 if you want a more natural, transparent yet dynamic presentation.
