Well, I get to join this little club too. I'm on amp number 4 in the same first generation Triton Two purchased in 2011. Now, the same amp is emitting a very high-end tone when on a load from the amplifier. The first replacement was 2015 and they were still charging for out-of-warranty repair. The next was 2018 and was replaced free of charge at my dealership. Then, 8 months later. Now, that one has gone out too.
I have written GE and we shall see what response I receive. I haven't dealt with the company after being sold to AudioQuest.
I'll update my post when I have some conclusion.

Arcody,

Welcome to the club! I've replaced both of the sub amps in my TRefs, but I will say that GE has been very supportive. They sent me the new amps (with a temporary charge), and I replaced both myself. After I sent the defective ones back, the charges were completely refunded. I was out only the shipping cost from me to GE.

I recently read that GE has been sold by Audioquest to another company who's name I forget, and that GE is going to be shut down through the month of January.

As in, shutting down for a brief period during re-structuring, or “SHUTTING DOWN”?!?

I love my GE products so much---this year I even upgraded my SuperCenter X for a SuperSat 50C AND finally added in a SuperSub X two weeks ago to my T2’s. But I feel like it’s just a matter of time before I’m on amp #4 (or is it 5?) in the T2’s. Even now w/ my recently re-arranged RCA LFE jacks due to the sub, one of my T2’s is now making an ultra-low hum that stops if I touch its bare T2 LFE jack.

I guess the point for me is that my current A/V system is about 8 years old give or take, has fantastic sound and has been completely dependable…..except for my T2’s. If GE goes out of business or winds up changing their replacement amp policy I am going to be PO’d.

I just read the article:

Shutting down for the transition to PML. Good to know they are with this company which has a long history of very good equipment.

All said, the amp has been out for a while, I have one still functioning, and I have unplugged the bad one. I should be able to maintain some personal, emotional self-composure for a while longer.
I can say that, even without 1 amp, these are still exceptional speakers, I have been more than happy with them these past 13 years, and the guys at All-Star Audio here outside Houston have been absolutely STELLAR in their support.

Thanks for the replies, Gentlemen. Glad to see the community support.
Cheers

Thanks for the link! Agreed, it’s a good thing to see PML as the buyer. GE fits well into their lineup of companies and products. Losing Sandy Gross was tough enough but I have my fingers crossed that GE still has a lot of time in their future.

Wow! You guys were correct: I have already received an email from the highly Celebrated Chet, and I have replacement amps coming my way.
What a great finish to a wobbly year.
A raise of the glass and a tip of the New Year's hat to GoldenEar in 2025.
