As the original poster I must agree with the Moderator.

Treble and high frequencies are NEVER the problem with Tritons. Their placement if badly executed can mess up the stage and depth of sound space but treble is always there.

I wonder what could be going on on your end. I hope it is resolved soon.

How have you connected the speakers? Which connections did you use? What is the amp rating of your amplifier?

However, I have begun to audition other speakers at various showrooms (including Triton two's and am able to hear instruments (high hats, triangles and other percussion instruments) that are not audible on my home speakers. I went as far as having my hearing checked by an ENT specialist and was told I did have minimal hearing loss which should not affect those sound frequencies. It occurs to me that I ordered my speakers (from Audio Breakthrough in Long Island) just at the time that GE was experiencing some problems with the ribbon tweeters resulting in the delay in delivery of my order. I have fairly good equipment (Denon AVR 4311; Oppo BDP-83; etc etc) I would really love to resolve this issue but don't have any objective way of measuring those frequencies emanating from my tweeters!! I am a handicapped senior citizen and not able to throw these towers over my shoulder and take them back to the dealer for testing. From what I know GE has a reputation for excellent customer service.
Is there any way you can help me solve this dilemma????????
Thanks so much,

Just so you don't think you're going crazy, I had a similar issue with one of my Triton 2s right out of the box. The high frequencies were noticeably absent/dull from one of the speakers. I notified Goldenear as well as my dealer. I brought the speaker to my dealer and had it back in perfect working order the next day. It turned out to be a loose wire at the crossover. My T2s have sounded amazing ever since (over a year now). Not sure if you're having the same issue, but I'm sure your dealer can figure it out. Good luck. Hope it gets resolved quickly.

Good advice from Patrick - get your dealer involved, maybe there's a problem.
