@jnc Man, sorry to hear this! I’ve owned GE Triton 7s paired with 2 of their Forcefield 3s and can confirm that plate amps go bad, but each time, GE replaced them. Is it because they no longer sell the Triton 3s? They always offered to fix what was broken in my experience. I now have a couple of their SuperSub Xs for a modest TV room. They’re paired with SuperSat 60s and sound great for TV and movies. When I finally get settled (retired after 25+ years in the Navy so been figuring out what’s "next"), I plan on using separate amps/speakers. Probably RBH. Hope GE can get you up and running again - they've always treated me well!
Goldenear….recent experience and lesson learned
Against better judgment, I bought a pair of GE Triton 3+’s new from my dealer about a year and a half ago for my home theater. I went against my gut, and bought a pair of powered speakers. Of course, last week one of the amps died. The speakers are still under warranty.
Reached out to my dealer, who called GE. Apparently GE no longer has replacement amps. I can remove the amp and send it in for repair, but no replacements are available. Pretty sh-ty. Nice job Paradigm (probably old news, put Paradigm now owns GE). Never been a Paradigm fan…and this just confirms my feelings.
Should have followed my gut and bought non-powered speakers and a separate sub instead of GE, Chinese assembled junk. Lesson learned!
Just a heads up for all you GE owners if/when you have amp issues.
Prior to buying any GE speakers, call Paradigm to confirm they will have parts in the future to support your purchase.
