Golden Ear - Triton T66 - Floorstanding Speakers
Introducing the T Series
The T66 is the first model in GoldenEar’s new T Series. While it boasts several significant refinements of our time-tested design concepts, the T66 is undeniably a GoldenEar loudspeaker, placing beautiful sound and music before all else.
Honouring the Triton Series
The T66 honours the critically acclaimed Triton Series, sharing a similarly tall, slender profile; built-in DSP-controlled subwoofer amplification; and a driver complement comprising GoldenEar’s High-Velocity Folded Ribbon AMT tweeter, cast-basket mid/bass units, quadratic planar radiators, and long-throw powered sub-bass section.
Onward and Upward
Several important cosmetic and sonic refinements distinguish the new T66 from previous GoldenEar speakers. These include a dramatically augmented crossover design, high-quality internal wiring, a new cast-aluminium base and metal grille, and, in addition to GoldenEar’s Gloss Black cabinet finish, a vibrant Santa Barbara Red.
A Solid Foundation
Sturdy, adjustable cast-aluminium base features aluminium feet to accommodate tile or wood floors. Optional spikes thread into the bottom of the feet to minimize energy loss and further optimize sonic performance.
High-Quality Binding Posts — Now BiWireable
Two pairs of binding posts accommodate biwiring and feature improved materials to minimise distortion. Includes AudioQuest’s Direct-Gold Plated Bare Naked Jumpers.
High-Definition Mid/Bass Drivers
GoldenEar’s cast-basket mid/bass drivers feature an improved yoke assembly to minimise distortion and employ Multi-Vaned Phase Plugs for excellent off-axis response.
