Golden Ear Triton One vs Mythos ST-L Supertowers

At face value these two are essentially identical. Or are they? I'm considering one or the other and would appreciate the candid feedback of others. I've listened to the Golden Ears, but not the Mythos. Thanks.

What would lead you to believe that?

I see what you mean, but one speaker has a ribbon tweeter, and the other is aluminum. For me, at least, that's a very big difference. But I'm very picky when it comes to high frequencies.

I'm not sure if I'm right on this, but it makes sense. Def-Tek is known to be more of a HT speaker than music. Since its the same owner, Golden Ear may be designed as a music first speaker, in an attempt to gain that segment of the market. If that's the case, I would expect the bass on the Golden Ear to be very different. Def-Tek is loud and "boomy" in the bass. Most audiophiles don't care for that and want something more controlled and musical.
