Brand New! GoldenEar Triton Reference 1.R $6000 Per Pair, (54h, 8w, 16 5/8d, 92dB SPL)
We are very excited to share that GoldenEar has just introduced a second speaker to its Reference Series. Triton Reference 1.R has just arrived!
T 1.R is the same size as the classic Triton 1. But T 1.R has the improved components of its bigger brother, GoldenEar’s Triton Reference Flagship ($9000 Per Pair). T 1.R brings the technology and luxurious cosmetics of the T-Ref to a lower price strata.
With superior tweeter, midrange elements, subwoofers, power amp and cabinet construction, Triton Ref 1.R shares the speed, imaging and impactful bass response of its bigger brother, sans a skosh less octane!
T 1.R uses GE’s upgraded Ref level ribbon tweeter. It uses two 5.25” cast mid/bass drivers in D’Appolito configuration. It uses three, 5×9 long throw subwoofers coupled to four 7×10 Quadratic Planar Infrasonic Radiators. These subs are driven by a DSP controlled, 1600w on board amp.
Stereophile magazine has a class A rating for speakers. The GoldenEar Triton Refs are the least expensive speakers to ever make that list- by a country mile. I’m thinking the T 1.R could be there soon too!
Falcon Acoustics LS 3/5A $3000 Per Pair
Falcon Acoustics of England, is making a TRUE LS 3/5A speaker! The quick story is, the ORIGINAL LS 3/5A was designed in the early 70s by the BBC. Several UK manufacturers were licensed to build it. The prescribed parts went out of production in the early 90s.
The LS 3/5A speakers we’ve seen marketed in the last 25 years have been… LS 3/5A in name only. They’ve been made in the “spirit” of the LS 3/5A. In some cases they’ve been good. In others, not so good. They’ve run the gamut.
Falcon said, enough of THAT nonsense! We are gonna pony up and build the speaker true to form. This will be a Real McCoy with CORRECT drivers, crossover and cabinet. Yup, Falcon spent the time and money to get right down to brass tacks to bring LS 3/5A back from the great beyond.
Hence when you visit us to hear the Falcon, you’re going to hear the REAL LS 3/5A. In a nutshell, I’ll tell you that the “wannabes” that I’ve heard are good. Butttt, the Falcon has that stunning PRESENCE and airy sound that the soft domes (whether by Harbeth, Spendor, whomever) can’t copy!

Which Album Has The Record For Most Weeks On Billboard’s Top Ten?
Which album has the record for being in the TOP TEN for more weeks than any other?
It was on the charts for 153 weeks!
Jackie Gleason’s “Music For Lover’s Only.” Jackie couldn’t read or write music. He had a great ear and knew what he wanted. He conveyed it to assistants by humming/singing- and they worked tirelessly to write down what he wanted. Jackie called it Vanilla Music and produced approximately 50 records. This was his first and it was on Billboard’s Top Ten list for three years!
