I was interested in auditioning some new speakers, particularly Golden Ear. I located a dealer and spoke to him to arrange an audition. During the course of the conversation he asked me what I currently have. My current speakers are Definitive Technology BP 10's They are 25+ years old. The s. tore owner mentioned that Golden Ear speakers were designed by the same guy as Definitive and Polk before that. He also mentioned that Definitive had a problem with the glue they used on some of their speakers causing separation of the cone and the surround. He asked if I had had my drivers replaced.
I told him they seem to sound ok and I had not. He told me I should look and bring the serial #'s of my speakers when I came to the store.
So I went to the store and auditioned the Golden Ear Triton 1's which were really awesome but more coin than I was willing to invest. he did not have the Triton 3's in stock which were more in my price range. While we were listening he asked about my Definitives. I showed him a picture of the driver and he verified that there was separation. I continued to listen and he disappeared.
He came back about 5 minutes later and told me he had arranged warranty replacement for my 25 year old drivers! They arrived on Saturday and I installed them
Wow!! I had really become ear dead, what a difference.
This guy really hooked me up. I never would have known about the problem and would never have thought that Definitive would replace the drivers.
In the meantime I'm really gassing for those Golden Ear Speakers. If the 3's are anywhere near as good as the 1's I will probably end up with a pair.
Definitely would buy from this guy without any question
