I heard them at Barney Millers in Lexington: Unimpressed
I heard them at Hi-Fi Buys in Nashville: Blown way
Did not have time to analyze why the difference. In Nashville though they were spread about 10' apart. I commented on how nice the Center speaker sounded. The salesman said it was there but not hooked up. Amazing. There was sound all inbetween the speakers. Speakers were toed "out" not "in" for demoing and it was about the biggest sound stage I have heard from just two speakersLiving Room: HK AVR 354 as pre/pro, 2 x Polk Audio Micropro 4000, Adcom GFA-7500, 2 x Mirage OMD-15

The Triton Two does look like a very impressive speaker, and I've wanted to hear it since I first saw the design. EQs and signal processing can hurt the sound, and that's a shame the speakers were being demoed that way; especially since most consumers who would considering buying a pair would not run that auxiliary equipment.

I heard them at local hi fi shop. Good sized room. Running on sony es gear soundedvery good. Well rounded would be fair. Obviously not too far removed from def tech

I heard them in a large HT room playing the Eagles blu-ray concert (we were demoing a large TV). Nothing great imo, although the volume was too high and not the best media from which to judge. Pretty good punch but very unrefined top end, unremarkable mids. Not at all what I would call smooth.
I have since wanted to revisit in a 2-channel setting since every review that I've noticed has been glowing (and given the designer). For context, I also didn't love the LSiM-707's while I had them in my home, fwiw.

My Prior Shop carries them and the guys over there tell me they are amazing. They also power them properly with good clean power so that says a lot on many levels.
I have not made my way over there to get a listen , but I have been wanting to. They have the entire line.Dan

I am thinking of going back and listening to the new Sevens. No powered anything all natural like every other speaker i have owned.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. I'd take them if they were given to me, but they'd be sold to a new owner by the week's end.
Speaking of the forum, haven't seen much of Zingo since the forum overhaul....
Sarcastic of course
