Opinions of GoldenEar Triton 1

I'm moving to a larger house and want some new speakers.  In spite of the cheesy name the GoldenEar Triton 1 looks like an interesting candidate. It's been a long time since I listened to a ribbon tweeter but I remember liking them.  Will some of you who have experience with these speakers please comment on what you did and did not like about them?  Also, what other choices in that price range stand out as being a "bargain"?  
Thanks for your comments.

Since opinions were asked for...

I've heard a couple GE Triton speakers but only at shows.

I'm not a fan of ribbon tweeters and the demos didn't convince me otherwise.

What I did hear, though, was quite a "lot of sound" for a lower price than many other manufacturers are asking.  Faint praise, it seems.  But I found them competent sounding, big, fairly spacious, without obvious defects.   But I found them tonally boring in a way that I could never live with personally.   But that's really subjective and I wouldn't propose my impression as a guide to anyone else, of course.

jaytor,
Your user impressions match my show-listener impressions.I found the Tritons to sound a touch "dark" and boring myself.Just didn't do anything to make me want to stick around and listen.
