Sonerin ...the emotiva runs the pair of Tritons pretty well, I'm more than pleased. Currently have the Supersats powered by the Marantz as suggested by the dealer, but that'll change this Friday, Goldenear assures me they can handle 200w without any issues.

Tbcheese ....Yeah I'm waiting to see how the 50c opens up with more burn in time, but it might be the weak link, I can't/don't really want to do too much with the rear speakers due to the odd shape of the room and close proximity to the listening area. I'll have to do more adjusting as the surrounds can be quite overpowering at times I don't think I've hit the sweetspot yet, and on top of that I lost my Audyssey mic during the move ....... I'll assess the 50c once I connect them up to the Emotiva later this week.

Wkang running the Tritons as Large, although I have been experimenting with the bass adjustment on the receiver between LFE and LFE+Main. Goldenear recommended a 120hz crossover. Both settings seem to shakeup the room quite impressively

Panasonic gave the family a near 50% discount on the TV's because of corporate business So I jumped....


Tbcheese - salesguy trying to sell me on the AON 2's to replace my rears....and on a Focus Audio FPC SE to replace the 50c centre....that's a lot more moolah on the centre

I did like them, tuned them in and after testing today decided to just go for the Aon 2......Hahaa( I am a sucker for upgrade-itis?) , stuck with the 50c. It appeared the Battleship mkv I was watching had surrounds recorded at pretty high levels, not sure if this is native to the production. Blurays like Dark Knight, Inception were just fine....I now have centre and surround speakers connected to the Emotiva and it certainly helped a lot with dialogue clarity from the 50. I'm no audiophile but I'm pretty happy with the bang for buck I've been getting so far....

I have a feeling GE will come out with a better centre soon enough.

The Forcefield 5 was expected over the summer but there seems to have been a delay with going into production.....

Thanks, will check out the thread!

Goldenear triton cinema system for speakers offers excellent bang for your buck.
