GoldenEar Triton One.R<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> The reviewer considers the ONE.R as a smaller version of the REFERENCE for less money ($6000 vs $9000) and my short time listening to date agrees with him. It looks like the main difference will have to be in the maximum SPL . The smaller 5.25 in cone bass\/midrange driver in the ONE-R might top out a lower SPL.

My take is that he was just here when I was playing a good track: I need more comparison to decide. Right now I have a pair of the REFERENCE, the ONE, and the ONE.R in the room for comparison and will be swapping off. I know that many of you, my subscribers, have ears more golden than mine, so anyone who wants to help me decide the differences is invited to drop by and listen.
