Speaker recommendation

I’m looking to buy a speaker in the $4000-5000 range. I was very impressed with the GoldenEar Trton 1 speaker I heard at a friend’s house, and I know the Tekton DI is very well thought of on this forum.
 I listen to mostly classical music, some Diana Krall and the like, and also big band music.
Any other suggestions?

I went through the spec of  GoldenEar Triton One and it looks very good.

Good luck to you!

I got the feeling that it will go by well with Tube amplification.


It will be nice if you can audition the speaker at your home with Rogue Cronus Magnum II.

So far, I’m loving the Triton 1.
 Of course I’m agonizing over setup and positioning, but I think at least I got the subwoofer setting right.

The quest is over!
 I’m really thrilled with the sound of these Tritons.
The synergy with the rest of my equipment is terrific.
I can just sit back and enjoy the music!

There's a brand new pair of PSB T3's on the 'gon today that I'm pretty sure you could get for 5K, but I guess that's now moot.

We all have different ears, I guess.  I auditioned the Triton 2's a while ago, against B&W 702's, and to me the B&W's sounded a lot more sophisticated and timbrally "right".
