@rvpiano If I had the system you have now and the upgrade itch with 7 or 8 grand burning a hole in my pocket, I'd go out and spend some serious seat-time with a McIntosh MC152 or the MC312. My guess is the MC152's 150 watts with its autoformer technology would be more than enough power for your Triton 1 and you'd save a couple grand in the process. The MC312 would be a consideration if you ever planned on upgrading to speakers with less than an 8-ohm nominal load in the future. One caveat, however. Your Triton are designed with AMT tweeters. In my experience, speakers like that sound best when there is a healthy amount of open or empty space behind the listening position or sweet spot, so to speak. An audiophile friend and I have done serious seat-time with the Triton 2 and the Martin Logon Motion 60XTi and found that a listening position without a good amount of empty spade behind it (e.g. 6' or more - the more, the better - a couch or chair right up against a wall or bookcases or something like that would not be a good idea) leads to relatively intense listening fatigue and very quickly. Professional reviewers have commented on this, as well. The sound room or environment is often discounted or outright dismissed as one of, if not THE most, critical components of any sound system.
Good Luck!
