| Anyone have GoldenEar Triton I Speakers? What AMP driving them. From the Golden Ear Triton One User Manual:"See your GoldenEar Technology dealer for amplifier recommendations."From the Golden Ear Triton One Marketing Brochure:"Having the built-in powered subwoofer section also has the significant benefit of gi... | |
| Musical Fidelity A308CR Pre Pricing You can always list it at a price and add "Best Offer".... Should take care of figuring out what it is worth.Only true if one subscribes to the "something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it" mentality. | |
