All of the sudden my triton 2 sounds dull to me .. Lol jk. But seriously , should i consider changing my system? Is the difference huge in hearing or just the fancy upgradation? I am more a movie guy , listen to stereo ocassionally. So plz guide me Moderator , I may have the option to return my tritons 2 to the dealer and wait for the new tritons to arrive. Would it be really worth for?

These upgrades really cut down the market value of old tritons to half and its not fair to the recent buyers ;(. Just my opinion.

Its been six years since the introduction of the $2500/pair Triton Twos. The improvements are significant and the new model now costs $3500/pair. The original Triton Twos are still just as good as they were six years ago, and still are "Audio Product of the Year" and "Loudspeaker of the Year" winners.

I have a 2015 car that just got a makeover in 2016. I am not mad at the car manufacturer for improving their product, and I knew a new model that I wanted more would certainly come out in a new model year. As someone once said, be happy with what you have...

Actually, they are huge. But I agree, certainly not worth making a change when all those other areas are certainly capable of yielding significant improvements.

I'd bet the difference may only really shine through at higher playback levels, but we'll see how the reviews come back. If the T2s had a little more transparency when I purchased my T1s, I would have went for the T2s.

If I already owned the T2s, I wouldn't take a loss just to purchase the latest model. As Imahawki has said, there are other things you can do to improve your sound first. Then, if GET offers an upgrade package, I'd go that route. There is always going to be a bigger, better, newer, etc... The T2s are great speakers! Just kick back and enjoy the music.

Agreed. And yes, we are evaluating the possibility for upgrade kits but it remains a very remote possibility at this moment.

I have a decent understanding of speaker design. I'd be surprised if this was even feasible. Assuming they made zero changes to the cabinet, which may or may not be true, you'd probably be looking at changing the crossover which probably would require changing the amplifier since the DSP is in the amp circuitry and relates to the crossover. And its possible they tweaked some or all of the drivers.

If they did change the cabinet or if they moved the drivers in the top at all you're toast. The crossover is designed around the MTM placement relative to each other and overall placement in the cabinet and the frequency response (or resonances) would change if they changed the cabinet and then that would be adjusted in the new crossovers.

New midrange drivers (one for the T3, two for the T2), new crossover, new input panel (DSP board). No cabinet or structural changes from current production Tritons. Feasibility is the big question, which we will be evaluating in the months to come after the intro of the new models.

I really appreciate your transparency here. This still seems like a lot to swap out. I understand and have experienced the OPs feelings before but I think you still have a great set of speakers, focus on what else you can do to improve the sound.

Imahawki,

I agree, it does seem like a lot and most manufacturers would never even consider it. That's one of the things that makes GET great! If I was a T2 owner, particularly one that made a recent purchase, I would want the latest and greatest. I would also like our forum members that have been GET customers from early on to have the opportunity to upgrade their sound without having to purchase all new T2+ speakers. Of course this idea also appeals to my inner tree hugger in that it allows customers to recycle, repurpose, and re-use their Triton towers.

I also appreciate GETs perspective and your input: the T2 is a GREAT speaker! I sincerely respect that GET isn't resting on it's laurels and is moving forward. I hate companies that rest on success and don't constantly push the envelope. My philosophy is that if your not moving forward you're being left behind. That is certainly not the case with GET. On top of that, I think they are pushing the value envelope with each new release. The T2+ is likely going to be very close in sound to the T1, and that is a brave, customer focused decision. Just my opinions...

Cheers,

T Cobe
