I have both the Triton 1 and Triton 2 and have a deposit on the new Triton Reference which won't be shipping to late May\early June. My Triton 1 are powered by a 160wpc solid state amp and an all tube preamp. I absolutely LOVE the sound. The Triton 2 are powered by a Parasound Halo Integrated amp at 160wpc. I am quite satisfied with the sound from this system as well.
When the GE dealer demoed the Triton1, he first did it with a Rotel integrated, it sounded horrible. I asked if he had any better electronics, and he brought out the best Anthem amp he had. It sounded thin and overly bright. While that may be ok for home theater, not so for high end audio. I almost didn't buy the speakers because of the demo, but I took a leap of faith and I am very happy I did. I liked the 1 so much that I bought the 2 later that year for another system I have.
