But the new speaker is $699 each and the original is $2,500. We asked Goldenear founder Sandy Gross to explain the difference in price. “They sound very similar,” he says. “They’re using similar drivers and similar voicing, but the larger ones obviously will play louder and have deeper bass.” For those listening at “relatively low levels or with less demanding program material, they would… View this story

The SC3DA isn’t a replacement for a full set of 5.1 speakers, as many soundbars try to be, but it packs a left, center and right channel into one speaker bar to provide the aesthetic appeal of a simple front setup.

GoldenEar Technology is planning a CEDIA debut, throwing its power into the Triton Two Tower loudspeaker. The big hook is that this big boy has a built-in powered subwoofer. That bass sounds awesome, too, thanks to a GoldenEar-designed 1,200-watt DSP controlled digital amp, which drives two front-mounted quadratic long-throw bass drivers. There's another two quadratic planar infrasonic radiators, which are side-mounted. Other features include two 4.5-inch GoldenEar-designed cast-basket high-definition bass/midrange drivers designed in a D’Appolito configuration around the tweeter and Multi-Vaned Phase Plug (MVPP) in the drivers.
