Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back?

Well, Happy Holidays guys, and hope we all spend some quality time listening to our speakers over the next few days!

Now, my situation is different than most of your as I am a Home Theater nut, and listen to, and watch movies, 90% of the time I go to my room, as compared to most of you, who listen to music only.

I am looking for your opinion on how the GE Ref would sound in my HT room!

My room is 14.5' x 22'

have a 128" screen in front,

have a pair of GE Triton Ones, with the GE XXL CC,

and 2 GE rear in-wall,  2 GE in-wall sides, and 2nd CC in my ceiling, with 4 GE Atmos speakers in my ceiling.

My question to you, will I hear any difference if I upgrade my R & L front channels to the Reference from my Ones?

Thanx in advance for your suggestions,

Steve

I have the References and Triton Ones.  I also had the Triton twos at one time.  You will find the References are about 45% more of the Triton Ones.  More bass, better integrated midrange and better midbass.  Treble is about the same but it will play much louder than the tweeter in the Triton Ones.  Most of the guys in the Golden Ear forum who are running home theater are now using the References for the front and the Triton 1 or 2's for the rear.  I do not do home theater so I can't comment on my experience.

Happy Holidays to everyone, especially to those with less than 5 posts on Audiogon.  :)

Yes you will.

Being predictive, since it is the end of the year...you will also love the differences. : )

I have the Focal Sopra 3's and the GoldenEar Triton ones. The Focals are better for music (I paired them with a GoldenEar xxl sub).

I mostly use the GoldenEars in  a 5.1 movie setup, and I love them, but when I want to do serious listening it's with the Focals.
