Moderator Dude,

I'll be the first to admit I'm no expert here.

Before I took the speaker down for repair, when playing pure bass sine tones around 80 - 100 Hz, I could hear distortion harmonics that I could also measure with my smartphone spectrum analyzer app. When I started a tone, a mechanical buzzing sound would start about half a second after the tone started. Now, after servicing and replacement of both bass drivers, the mechanical buzzing is gone, but I can still hear harmonic distortion products coming out of the midrange driver. (Can't remember at the moment if it's coming out of both or just the lower.) The whole thing seems to be associated with bass tones.

I know nothing about the internal architecture in there, so I had been thinking that maybe it's a problem with the crossover or amp board. Maybe I partially fried the amp? But maybe it's a midrange driver thing. I don't know.

I want to be clear that I don't blame GET for what happened. I was doing some testing (to measure distortion, no less, which was very low), and during the process the volume on my DAC/Pre got away from me. It was high only for a second or two. Yet the tweeters seem to be undamaged, even though I'm sure my 200 W amp was clipping. Those babies must be tough.

I agree. But out of respect for T1 owners and the greatness of the T1 itself, I never found it within me to write that. Interesting that you are this candid and blunt.

I can (and will herein) add an additional wow factor that I have at least *some* good reason to believe is the case. @Moderator, please delete this post if I'm inaccurate or off base

Again, I am *not* stating fact, but am merely conveying what I have at least some good reason to believe.

Golden Ear's achievement with the Triton Reference and the resulting performance level is such that if GET were to decide to "best" the Reference with yet another Triton speaker design of theirs - which of course, they can do - that could mean the now modestly affordable $8,500 goes to $85,000. That's eight thousand five hundred goes to eighty five thousand, in case you thought there was a misprint

I will save the *where and why* that additional cost would be needed for another time

Perhaps instructions could be attached to the outside of the crates. My dealer and I were very careful but it was difficult to figure out - we did unpack the second one pretty close to the way it is shown in the video!

I don't know what it is, but I seem to have the Best Luck in the world.
Last Thursday (3rd) I ordered the TR'S. Yesterday (8th) they arrived at the Dealer.
Today (9th) I went down to Wichita and paid for them. While I was there, the Owner asked if I would like them delivered today. Would you unbox them too, I asked. Sure thing they said. I asked if they would watch the Unboxing video that Moderator had posted...you bet. They delivered the speakers to the house and unboxed the speakers according to the video. The procedure was flawless. Thanks for posting, Moderator.

SO, Anthem

Have you played those babies yet? I know you need to break them in and all...

Happy listening!!!!

You are right, that comment would seem to blemish the Triton Ones unnecessarily. My bad. Significantly is very much a subjective word, for many the differences would be insignificant compared to the spectacular Triton One.
