Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference?
Otinkyad,My main room is 20x15x8 and both Triode Masters worked great without a sub.4 - 15” open baffle woofers was all I needed 99% of the time in that space for bass. Playing Royals from Lorde sounded pretty damn low. Some tracks sounded a hair ... 
Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference?
@stereo5 I am an experienced consumer with nearly $250k worth of gear in and out of my rooms. Also, vast experience with furniture grade cabinets as well. So, yeah you could say I know a thing or two about quality parts in audiophile equipment.Alw... 
Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference?
I am not sure they want me listing their name and company title. That's for them to do (if they choose) Rest assured my friends have spent many a time listening to each others gear including mine, and also at shows.  Everyone has their own thought... 
Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference?
I have had the References, 5s with and without proper sub, and 2s and 1s.All in same treated room and with a ton of equipment. (Yggy dac, Hegel H160, H300, Peachtree Nova300, Primaluna, Raven, and much more)To me and many of my industry buddies, t... 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
Spatial Audio Triode Masters, best speakers I have ever owned, and I have or owned most of the usual suspects. And definitely Not Goldenear References, I bought into the hype and got a pair, sound great, but not worth the $8500.Spatial Triodes or ... 
Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back?
The GE references are overrated by paid magazines and overpriced. I owned the ones and loved them for what they cost me new ($4500) I heard the reference extensively and did not find them much better to warrant nearly double the price. At that pri... 
My review of the Spatial M3 Turbo S open baffle speaker is finally live...
For what it’s worth, my Spatial sound best to me with integrated Tubes. Using a Primaluna with Mullards in the preamp and stock EL34s or I also used a Cronus Magnum II. Both amazing with these speakers and a Ayre Codex or Yggy dac.also- tried Hege... 
My review of the Spatial M3 Turbo S open baffle speaker is finally live...
I have the Spatial M3 Triode Masters and they absolutely smoked my Vandersteen 3A signatures (with the latest carbon driver)and also handily beat Goldenear Triton ones both of which I sold. To each his own I guess, with regard to what people want ... 
Goldenear Triton Reference vs. One -- Review
I stand by what I said about Triton ones two years ago.They were benchmark for value / price ratio at the time in my eyes.(not anymore)  But for the 100th time, Today, I would not spend 70% more for the reference. You did and so, go ahead and try ...

How much does a Chinese made steel plate 3/32 if an inch thick cost?see my point now,you just articulated and demonstrated my argument for me perfectly !!thanks !!! 
Goldenear Triton Reference vs. One -- Review
I guess we will agree to disagree.You can't convince me that Triton Reference are worth $8500 and 70% more than Triton ones. Also, you will never convince me that the plastic bases and other parts made in China and used on the Reference and the ot... 
Goldenear Triton Reference vs. One -- Review
Gdhal,How am I incorrect?Please research if the reference and Triton 5 have the same base material made in China. I just checked the GE website and they do !!This is not an opinion, hard cold fact. Go to a showroom and compare your self.BTW- The M... 
Goldenear Triton Reference vs. One -- Review
Materials are still cheap as s*@t on the reference, perfectly understandable on the Triton 5s etc, but for $8500 for the reference and made in China, no thanks.I believe it is the same plastic bottom base on the 5s and reference. It sure looked an... 
Goldenear Triton Reference vs. One -- Review
I owned the ones for two years and loved them and also just auditioned the reference extensively. Both amazing, but the 70% premium in price for the reference only translates into a little better performance. Sound great , but still screams made i... 
Magnepan 3.7i vs Goldenear Triton one
Thx Zd542,Makes sense, could be a bit of fun swapping equipment in and out.I also have the Vandersteen 3a sigs (new version) in another locationAnd they will be going on audiogon soon, as I find them too polite for my tastes.
