Hi, imahawki

T Cobe has described a way to connect the T2's so that you can play music, and add more bass punch with the LFE connection for movies.

It works, whether it's T1's, T2's or T3's. Any Triton powered tower will benefit from this set up. Check out Sandy's set-up tips for Triton towers. The LFE connection will route that signal with no roll-off in 5.1 movie mode to the Triton sub also.

If you can, audition the T2's with this set-up. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Continue using the Klipsch center and surrounds for the time being while I save up to expand the system. Ultimately I'd buy a matching GE center speaker. For surrounds I'd like to go with Super Sat 3s to keep them wall mountable with a single screw and keyhole mount. Eventually I'd add subs. ... So after all of that, my question is, what are your thoughts on swapping out my mains and subs for Tritons and then building the rest of the system out slowly around that?

Many, MANY people use Triton Twos in a home theater setup without additional subwoofers. Unless your room is huge or you want jet engine volumes, the pair of Triton Two built-in subs will provide a huge amount of excellent bass. Don't let the bass-heads on this forum tell you otherwise, I have heard 100's of systems with Triton Twos and no subs and they do not lack bass. For almost any music listening, there would be absolutely no advantage to separate subs.

Hi again Imahawki,
Again, I have the T 2s and can tell you there may always be something bigger and better, but for those of us on a budget, these are AWESOME speakers!!!! The fact that you can dial in the bass on the back is a BIG benefit, running the LFE cable to them, as discussed will work great too, it is so very easy to get them set right for music, movies and for the room position where you have them playing.
BUT I am one of the bass heads that the Moderator Dude is referring to, YES, I can be happy with them, but I like my ForceField 5 with them too.
BUT you might not be like me, probably are not. And IF you are like me, want more bass, then you can always add a sub much later after LOTS of pure listening enjoyment in the meantime.
My T 2s are rocking out some Lucinda Williams "Live in Austin, TX" as we speak. WONDERFUL MUSIC!!!!!!! I feel as if I am there. And lovin' it!!!!!
When you get you some GoldenEar speakers, very soon you can sit back, put on the music and just revel in GREAT Sound!!!! And forget about Hi-Fi, specs and watts, and just enjoy!!!!
That is what it is really all about.
Have fun, get the best you can afford and then enjoy the movies and music,
God Bless,
Wayne

OK, so my next question is, understanding that higher end pre-amps and amps will help, if I purchase the speakers, I can't upgrade my AVR (mid grade $1100 Onkyo) right now. Will I be deeply disappointed?

Again, my opinion, but no. You should not be disappointed. They will sound great. The added benefit is that they will sound better if you invest more money later. My T1s sounded very good on my Integra 70.2 before I upgraded to separate amps. Your dealer should be able to hook them up to a comparable receiver in the store and let you hear first hand. Don't worry, you'll love them! My .02... Of course, that's coming from a Badger.

Cheers,

T Cobe

Oooh, going to be good game this weekend.

Thanks for the feedback.
