Personally, the giant sock look doesn't do it for me, especially at the price where they compete with some very nice looking (and performing) speakers. I understand the cost savings the socks provide, but still I'd have a hard time putting them in the living room. The socks are just a way to increase profit margin. That's how I see it. With other sock covered speakers, like Vandersteens and Magnepans, the socks provide a uniform look that is based around their technical design.
I understand some may like the look of the Tritons. I'd rather buy some much prettier Salks or something more finely crafted.
In a dedicated HT room, the Tritons would be just fine.
Just my $.02
