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 own BOTH the Triton Ones and the Triton References.  The Triton Ones are connected to a McIntosh MA6600 200wpc Integrated, a Sony HAPZ1ES Music Server and a McIntosh FM tuner.  I use a Furutech power conditioner.  The sound is to die for!!!  I listen to this system at least 5 hours daily as it is in my office with my computer.  You won't be disappointed.  There are a lot of guys here who dislike the GE Tritons for whatever reason but the amount of technology that you get and the quality of the sound for the money is a great deal.  I think the Triton Ones will be discontinued soon as the Triton One R is only a grand more.

I think you you may be confused, I own the 9K Triton References, not the 6K Triton 1R. I also own the original 5K Triton 1.
