jack@goldenear.com (Jack Shafton) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:50:55 GMT

Home Theater Magazine gives a TOP PICK to the all new Triton Three based TritonCinema Three system, where Darryl Wilkinson concludes: "In some ways, the Triton Threes are an even more impressive achievement than the Triton Twos because the lower the price, the harder it is to produce that kind of sonic excellence.

PerfectVision/AVguide Comments on New Aon Speakers at CEDIA 2011

jack@goldenear.com (Jack Shafton) — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Chris Martens - CEDIA 2011: GoldenEar founder Sandy Gross explained the genesis of the Aon design by saying that a colleague had raved to him about the performance of an exotic, $6000/pair of stand-mount monitors. After hearing the monitors, and reflecting on what he had heard, Gross was convinced that the GoldenEar design team, led by GoldenEar co-founder Don Givogue, could create a product that could meet or beat that level of performance, but at a much lower price. The result is the Aon design.

After hearing a variety of pieces of music on the Aon 3s in the GoldenEar booth, we suspect Gross and company are on to something. As it happens, I visited the GoldenEar booth just after hearing a very expensive floorstanding speaker elsewhere at the show, and I felt the Aon 3 was—on the whole—the better speaker.

Electronic House visits GoldenEar Technology at CEDIA 2011

jack@goldenear.com (Jack Shafton) — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT

September 13, 2011 | by Grant Clauser - About a year ago speaker veteran Sandy Gross launches a new company, GoldenEar. Because his designs have been the center of so many successful speaker brands, many people in the industry had high hopes for what the speaker boss would do next.

The results didn’t disappoint. The company’s first products, the Triton Two tower speakers, TritonCinemas and SuperCinema satellite system won instant praise. Now, a year after the launch, the company is expanding with powerful, but compact, bookshelf models as well as architectural speakers for installation in ceilings and walls.

After sitting in on a listening session, we got Gross to talk about the new products:

The Golden Ear Triton Two Speakers just won a HomeTheaterReview.com coveted Best of 2011 Award, chosen by their editorial staff as Best Affordable Floorstanding Loudspeaker, saying: "With a track record unlike anybody (even Dr. Bose), with companies like Polk Audio and Definitive Technology – Sandy Gross’ first speaker for his new brand, Golden Ear, was likely to kick ass and take names. And that it did. The Triton Two from GoldenEar Technologies is priced right, comes with a sweet tweeter and a modest footprint. We just think the world of these speakers, as they would be lovable at twice the price."

In this year's annual Recommended Systems issue of The Absolute Sound (December 2011 Issue) GoldenEar's Triton Two loudspeaker was selected as the loudspeaker of choice for one of their "We Pick the Best" Recommended Systems.
