While supplies last, you can purchase the great TRef for just $4,500 each!

Launched at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show, the Triton Reference was designed with a mandate to establish a new and long-lasting standard for affordable excellence. We believe we filled the mandate. While others have come and gone, T-Ref has maintained its place in showrooms, homes, and Stereophile's esteemed "Recommended Components." In fact, to this day, it holds the distinction of being the most affordable loudspeaker listed in the magazine's Class A (Full Range) category, ranked right alongside speakers costing well over $200,000/pr.

Legendary sound, historic value.

Now's the time to invest in a true hi-fi classic.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I have been purchasing hi-fi equipment from Saturday Audio for over ten years. I was initially drawn to them by their great prices and selection. I soon realized that the folks over at Saturday Audio are terrific to work with and are very passionate about their products. Living out of state, I've had the flawless experience of purchasing equipment from them both online and at the shop. Highly recommended!

Tom S. (MI)

I’ve been shopping at Saturday Audio Exchange for all of my audio visual needs for over 25 years. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, finding the perfect product, from a turntable to TV, always keeping my budget in mind. I would recommend Saturday Audio Exchange to anyone who wants quality merchandise.

Rexx S.

I love the fact these guys are audio geeks, and helpful, and knowledgeable. They did not over-sell us and instead talked about our needs and our options in a practical way.

Deb T.

There's no pressure. Advice is given when asked for but nobody tries to push a particular product or brand on you. These are music lovers who share their enthusiasm and are happy to help you find the right stuff to meet your needs.
