Golden Ear Triton One vs Mythos ST-L Supertowers
Triton Ones= much improved bass and smoother treble. Mythos=good bass but not outstanding and highs that bothered my ears. I bought the Triton Ones.

New Tekton Pendragons On The Way
Phusis.............I agree with you completely. I once drove to Annapolis, Maryland and back home in 1 day. It was a 925 mile trip for a pair of DeVore speakers. I didn't like them and sold them 3 months later.
