| Is unamplified music the gold standard? This boomer's gold standard is live, acoustic music - classical mainly, including orchestral, vocal and instrumental + some acoustic pop and jazz. I was a choral singer for many years, former church organist, played briefly in a band, and I'm marr... | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K Former Maggie fan here - went to GoldenEar and LOVE them. I think the 2+/3+ are actually very attractive, in a minimalist modern sort of way. But if you can't stand the looks of the GE Tritons I'd suggest you take a look at Nola speakers - either ... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience You just experienced the best reason to establish a relationship with and purchase from a dealer.And I was tickled to hear you say "she". Not too many of us in high end audio. | |
| Golden Ear Triton 3 vs 3+ Stereo5, what's your take on main improvements in moving from 3+ to 2+? | |
| Upgrade Triton two to Triton two + Thanks in advance, Dave,The Twos for $1400 is a steal. I can't think of anything else in that price that would come close. If I hadn't heard the T3+ and T2+ I would have been very interested in the Twos. We auditioned a lot of speakers up to 5k, ... | |
| Upgrade Triton two to Triton two + Dave, I think you're on the right track. Auditioning the 2+ and One is the way to go. In the final analysis, it's what sounds right to *your* ears with *your* music in *your* room. And if that's your T2s - so be it. They're still darned good speak... | |
| Upgrade Triton two to Triton two + davelarz - did you ask your dealer what he feels the improvements are? You might want to post this question on the forum at the GET website.I’ve heard the Three, the Three+ and the Two+ - but not the Two. So I can only make an educated guess about... | |

| High-End Standmounts: KEF LS50W vs. NOLA Boxer II vs. Revel M106 Another vote for the Nola Boxers.I know I'm in the minority, but I did not care for the LS50s at all (auditioned both the passive and active models and truly expected to like them after all the praise). I especially disliked them with massed strin... | |
| Speakers costing range of 2500-3500 per pair Listened to a lot of speakers in this price range last year. Our favorites in this price range were the GoldenEar Triton 2+ ($3500) or 3+ ($2500), but we also liked the Aria 936s. Based on past experience, the Vandy 1s would also be good to auditi... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano You want coherence, scale and timbral accuracy for piano reproduction, and that's a tall order for moderately priced speakers. We did extensive auditioning last spring - have to admit that we hated the LS50s (didn't go low enough + clangy on uppe... | |
| Just saw the Absolute Sounds 50 Greatest Bargins in Audio Seems very odd to me that they recommend the passive GoldenEar Triton Fives for the Mid-Price System...plus $1500-1900 subs??? It would be simpler and more cost effective (not to mention better sounding IMO) to go with the Triton Three+ ($2500) o... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers Prof, do you have pictures of your room? | |
| what speakers to buy Oh golly, this is why I suggested the OP go on an audition trip to hear a range of speakers for himself. Different ears and different gears and different music and personal taste etc etc. I haven't spent much time with GE Triton Ones but I did aud... | |
| what speakers to buy A second for the excellent Avanti Vs. I think (memory fails at this point) the Andras went lower. |
