Hi,
I had a pair of GoldenEar 2+s. I didn’t particularly like the tone of the midrange and the powered bass was a bit distracting and not totally integrated into the sound. I would never go with a speaker that has a built in powered woofer again. I sold them and bought a pair of Tekton Electron SEs that are similar to the DIs but a bit shorter.
All in all, I do like the Electrons - very balanced sound, and as many have commented, any change you make upstream will be clearly heard. Also, the build quality and finish is outstanding (I purchased the standard finish and it looks great). I'm still looking for the perfect amp to drive them with that fits my budget - presently have a Willsenton R8 with EL34s... not bad, but not what I'm looking for. Think I'll try an Elkit 300b amp kit next.
