Dear Wylie,
\n\"Stereophile<\/p>\n

Here is more info, as I promised, about theTriton One<\/strong>‘s selection asStereophile’s 2015 Loudspeaker of the Year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You know, winning Stereophile’s Loudspeaker-of-the-Year is, perhaps, the highest honor that a loudspeaker can achieve in the world of high-end audio.Plus, this is doubly significant for such an affordable loudspeaker as the Triton One, when you realize that the co-winner sells for $25,000 a pair. Otheryears’ winnersoften sell for $50,000, $100,000, or $200,000 a pair, and you have to go back to 2007 to find another winner under $20,000 a pair (at $18,000, not much under). And, of course, Borderline Class A<\/em>, which was also written about, is a similar, very special achievement, when you realize the average Class A speaker this year sold for $54,000 a pair. And to cap it off, the Triton One was also a finalist for Overall-Product-of-the-Year!<\/strong><\/em> Quite an amazing honor.<\/p>\n

\"Stereophile<\/p>\n

What did they say?
\nFor one-fifth the Blade Two’s price (the other winner), the more conventional-looking GoldenEar Triton One is, in its way, no less dazzling. This besocked tower uses GoldenEar’s High-Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR) tweeter, plus two 5.25″ midrange cones, three internally powered 5″ by 9″ woofers, and four 7″ by 10″ passive planar radiators, to cover a range that, according to GoldenEar, stretches from 14 Hz. to 35 kHz.<\/em><\/strong>
\nRobert Deutsch confirmed that, in his room and system, a pair of Triton Ones extended down to at least 20 Hz in a manner that stressed “quality rather than quantity of bass”.<\/em><\/strong>
\nRobert’s verdict: not quite Class A sound for Class B money, but accomplished enough to warrant comparison to much more expensive speakers.
\nIn fact, in Robert’s write-up of the Triton One as his choice for Overall Product-of-the Year, he wrote,
\n“I came this close to buying the review pair.”<\/strong><\/em>
\n(It is interesting to note, BTW, that The Absolute Sound’s Tony Cordesman did, in fact, buy his review pair). And Tom Norton, in his write-up of the Triton One as his choice for Overall Product-of-the-Year, wrote,
\n“The Triton One can hold its own with many speaker designs selling for deep-pocket money.”<\/strong><\/em>
\nHonestly, I have to say this award is so exciting to me that I can not fully express it in words.Please, share this with your team, your customers, and get the Triton One<\/strong>s front and center on your sales floor!<\/p>\n

Onward and Upward,<\/p>\n
