Upgrade Triton two to Triton two +


Wondering if anyone here has made this move and if so how significant an upgrade it was? I currently have Triton twos but admit the reviews of the two plus have me thinking about moving up. Just don’t know how much value I’d get out of that move. Obviously I need to audition at a dealer but always love to have first hand feedback from Agoners

Anyone? Just not a lot of feedback out there on this question... my dealer only has the T2+ and without the original T2 to reference against... not to mention being in an unfamiliar room with different amplification... I really can't tell much based on audition.
Thanks so much for the input Rackon. I’ve been getting divided opinions at the Goldenear site, with many saying that they didn’t think going from T2 to T2+ would be that big a jump though a few dissenters on that. Many votes there for going to the T1 - unfortunately I just don’t want those beasts in my small listening room. T2’s big enough as it is for me. My plan is to compare T2+ and T1 at my dealer and see if I think they are as close as many reviews have indicated. If so I will go for it - everyone seems to agree the T1 is quite an upgrade over T2
I will definitely report back Rackon. I have listened to quite a few speakers in the sub-10k territory at this point and haven’t heard anything that conclusively felt to me like an upgrade over the T2. Given that I got the T2 for $1400 used it’s hard to justify an additional 4 or 5k in outlay when the performance benefits are so negligable. I’ve been operating under the idea that I could gain something in my system from a speaker upgrade, but given my price range (5-7k) im not sure there’s anything out there that is going to make major improvements. Different, yes, but better? I haven’t heard it yet.

I also will happily sacrifice that last bit of detail for a smoother high end - one of the things I love about the T2 is that the highs don’t feel rolled off to me in the slightest and yet are never overly bright. So the T2+ may be the way to go for me. That said it will still likely run me 2k or so on the trade-in and I’m concerned it won’t be that much of a bump up from the T2. So hard to tell these things auditioning speakers in unfamiliar environments. Recently I was prepared to buy a pair of DeVore Nines locally but was on the fence - the owner was kind enough to let me take them home and audition them directly against the T2. And when I did... I was shocked by how much I preferred the T2. It wasn’t even close. And those Nines retailed for over twice the price of the new price of the T2 and many respected reviewers used them as a reference. Goes to show... speakers are a very personal choice and price tags do not tell the tale
