....so, I'm intrigued.......the reviews couldn't be better.
They would replace a set of MMGs in a moderate sized home office. Priority would be on moderate volume jazz and blues. I want the vocalist in my room!
Has anyone had a listen and what are your thoughts? Driving them would be imac, DC1, Parasound A21.

Dan I owned the Triton 2's, and they were the best speakers I've ever heard. The dispersion, attack, bass, mids, highs, the whole package. I had to sell after the twins came to save on space in our modest house. My future purchase will be the ones. They are power hungry as all hell. Make sure you have the power to feed them. I was using crown xls 1500's connected directly to an Oppo 105, and it was heaven on earth.

I agree, stellar reviews but I'm having a problem with the looks.. I wish they had a nice veneer design rather than a sock Just my opinion

Price of keeping cost down? I've never seen the ones but don't think they would look or feel much different than this?

I appreciate your response redog. My wallet on the other hand is weeping. Ask your dealer for a discount. My local dealer gives me 20% off list

YMMV I'm not sure the speaker could look any better, if you look at the driver array it would pretty much just be speaker showing. I do know that when I talked to Sandy on the phone he said that the sock is part of the frequency response.

I Listened to them at ces 2015 and was very impressed. I don't think they competed with 20k + speakers but they fight well above the price point. If it didn't have the socks the price would at least double. Audition and decide for yourself.

I've heard The T-1's against the Revel F 208, and I like them both for soundstage and mids but the T-1's play lower... I like the 208's tweeter more.. Plus the 208's are way better looking IMHO... :-) Looks mean nothing to many, some of my friends wives prove that

No matter what they look like, they're someone's PIA.

Hi DGA, GE is releasing a new tower this next week. Triton 5 is the model. Review was very good. I believe it will be shorter and $2k for a pair. Supposedly rivals the T1's in sound but smaller. I have not seen one yet but my dealer is expecting delivery 1st week of April. He ordered 25 pair to keep up with current pre-orders and some in stock. You might like this model better all around.
Good Luck!!

The 5's do look interesting, especially seeing my room isn't that large and I don't play all that loud. I'm going to get a feel for the Triton sound tomorrow.. I bought a (as in one) Triton 2 that has a damaged case. I am going to use it as a center channel behind an AT screen in the theater. I'll let you know how it sounds.
