Ribbon tweeters...out of favor these days?
I have GoldenEar Triton 1s which use a HVFR (High Velocity Folded Ribbon) Tweeter. According to GET literature (and Sandy verbals) it is the "best" outside of an ionic tweeter used in laboratories. Sandy goes further to state that he envisions oth... 
Golden Ear Triton One Speakers $$$
Plapen, the $2000 model would be the Triton Five, a completely different model than the T1s (the model this thread is about). The T5s are passive only while the T1s are powered. Besides the positioning, other variables such as the equipment used t...

Just echoing Stereo5's praise for the Triton One's as I recently (December 2015) purchased and installed them in my coop/apartment. My room size is virtually identical to - albeit slightly bigger - than Stereo5s.Incredible speakers and moreover an...

Best integrated amps under $9k
willgolf, while the integrated amp I have and would recommend may not be on par with some other recommendations made in this thread, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the integrated that I own/use - a Musical Fidelity M6si. Like all manufactur... 
Bass driven floorstanders?
chrisr, please don’t take this the wrong way, but given your response I recommend (a) look for another audio dealer because if they poo poo the Triton’s, well, you get the point and (b) not sure if it’s because your wife doesn’t understand audio o... 
Bass driven floorstanders?
chrisr, I have something for you to consider. Personally I beleive there is no way you're going to beat (price and quality aka value wise) this. And to maplegrovemusic point, they are powered with a 200 watt amp. They are rated to go to 32Hz. I ha...
