| Speaker selector app. GoldenEar Triton 1r - Highly regarded and positively reviewed, extends to 13 Hz with built in 1600 watt sub amps, easy to drive (92 spl), great midrange and treble, and affordable at $6,000 a pair. | |
| Focal Sopra 2's vs Titron GoldenEar Reference speakers For what its worth, at AXPONA 2019, the Triton 1r's were very favorably reviewed. One of Absolute Sounds reviewers considered the GoldenEar Triton 1r's to be the "best sound for the money" calling it "no contest".J.Chip | |
| Focal Sopra 2's vs Titron GoldenEar Reference speakers I have the Triton 1r's driven by an old Classe Audio Fifteen amp (175 W) through a Prima Luna Dialogue Premium preamp. My listening position is about 8 feet away and rarely do I need to move the volume control on my preamp beyond 9 o'clock. I've a... | |
| Focal Sopra 2's vs Titron GoldenEar Reference speakers You're talking about two very highly regarded speakers here and either should serve you well. A couple of points to consider. Both of these speakers have sensitivities over 90 db. I think the Focals are 91 db and the Triton References are over 93.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rokid2,"Just as I was about to anoint Lee Morgan King of Jazz trumpet, I put 'Sketches of Spain' by Miles Davis in the player. Order is now restored. I sat there mesmerized. One of Miles' Best ever."Great collaboration with Gil Evans and one of my... | |
| Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict? Seems to me the best, foolproof protection is to unplug your gear whenever you are away from home or a storm is approaching. Who listens to their systems during a thunderstorm anyway? Cost = $0, Protection = 100%.J.Chip | |
| The JC Whitney syndrome Thanks Tom. What surprised me is that some people took my post as a personal attack on tweekers. I consider myself just as much a tweeker as anyone in that I'm always willing to try something that can improve my sound as long as it's affordable. T... | |
| The JC Whitney syndrome Jeez, I cant believe how sensitive and insecure some of the responses have been.1) I haven't made any personal attacks on anyone2) I'm not disputing the worthiness of some tweeks (thank you gillatgh)3) It was certainly not my intention to insult "... | |
| The JC Whitney syndrome Jaybe,I'm not telling anyone how to improve their system. Just suggesting that any improvements added are not necessarily 100% cumulative. We can agree to disagree.BTW, this whole forum exits where strangers make suggestions and voice opinions on ... | |
| The JC Whitney syndrome I think my point is being missed. In my post I make it clear that tweeks can have sonic benefits. My point is not that the addition of a new tweek to a system already tweeked won't still yield a benefit, but rather that the sum of the tweeks is no... | |
| Axpona 2019 As a new Triton 1r owner, glad to see that you liked the Tritons. Amazing for the money.J.Chip | |
| Axpona 2019 Reasons to attend an audio show;1) see the latest releases from attending manufacturers2) pick up on the latest trends in the industry3) discover previously unheard demo tracks4) gape at equipment way out of your price rangeReasons not to attend a... | |
| To twist or keep separate Elizabeth is correct in that I am not running 2 positive and 2 negative runs but rather just doubling up the normal connection with a second run. Guess I could give a listen both ways (twisted or run in parallel) and see if there's a difference. C... | |
| Reasonable but not outragious interconnects Since cables don't really wear out, it makes sense to purchase used. You can find some really high quality cables at a fraction of their original price on various sites including this one. | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? rodman99999,I stand corrected. I was confusing the features contained in the PrimaLuna power amps with that of the preamp. Seems like a well made preamp nonetheless.J.Chip |
