The GoldenEar Triton Three+ houses a built-in powered subwoofer for surprisingly deep, potent bass. This slender tower delivers what GoldenEar calls "boxless three-dimensional imaging" with the smooth, non-fatiguing character of its HVFR™ (High-Velocity Folded Ribbon) tweeter. By squeezing air — rather than pushing it like a conventional tweeter — the HVFR design delivers articulate nuance with very low distortion.
A unique three-way design
The high-end tweeter is placed between a 4-1/2" upper bass/midrange driver and 5"x 9" powered sub-bass driver. There are also two 6-3/4" x 8" bass radiators on either side of the non-resonant curved cabinet to reinforce the low frequencies. One additional advantage of this speaker's driver arrangement: the tweeter and bass/midrange driver get all your amplifier's attention, while the powered sub does the heavy lifting.
Acoustic purpose
The Triton Three+'s driver arrangement — with its world-class tweeter positioned between the bass/mid driver and the woofer — helps keep the transition between drivers smooth and seamless. And by incorporating the 800-watt powered subwoofer into the cabinet and crossover circuitry, GoldenEar further blends the frequencies to achieve transparent sound from top to bottom.
Sparkling highs, robust bass without bloat, and ultra-low distortion, all with breathtakingly wide dispersion — the Triton Three+ produces a soundstage that reaches out into the room as well as behind the speakers.
Designed with a simple, functional ergonomic visual aesthetic, this tower seems to lose itself in the mix it projects. And it will all but disappear in the darkness of a home theater setting.
