I've never a heard a brighter pair of speakers than the Golden Ear Triton One. I listened to Pink Floyd and Dire Straits albums on these, paired to a McIntosh amp at my local dealer.
I apologize for offending GE owners, but never have I heard such an overpriced pair of speakers. Top end was ear-piercing harsh, and the bass was unimpressive to say the least. Mind you this was in a well-treated, dedicated listening room. I just don't understand the appeal of Golden Ear. I can usually find good traits in any speaker brand, but that's the first pair that sounded downright awful. They were powered by some large McIntosh amp, so I sort of doubt it was a power quality issue.
The Revel Concerta F36 at only $1500 was a much better speaker to my ears, by a country mile.
Don't take my word for it though, try to audition them and a variety of others. I just highly recommend against jumping in head-first with the GE brand.
Judging by your gear, assuming you have a decent budget, I'd look at the Revel Perfoma F208 and Monitor Audio Platinum series.
Klipsch Cornwalls would also be a good option.
