oldenEar’s Extraordinary Triton Two Makes Ultra-High-End Performance Affordable! “Listening with them paralleled previous encounters with no-holds-barred speakers — ones priced upwards of $50,000.” — Al Griffin, Sound&Vision

“ ...I would not be surprised if they retailed at — Robert Deutsch, Stereophile $10,000 a pair” GoldenEar’s Triton Two has set the audio world on its proverbial ear with extraordinary sound quality, elegant styling and previously unimaginable value. It has earned an incredible series of honors and awards — including What HiFi’s Speakerof-the-Year, Absolute Sound’s Affordable Speaker-of-the-Year, Sound&Vision’s Audio Product-of-the-Year, Home Theater’s Top Pick-of-the-Year, Home Theater Review’s Best Affordable Floorstanding Speaker and Stereophile’s highly coveted Recommended Product honors. In fact, Robert Deutsch fell in love and raved about their “...quite stunning sense of realism ...I found that with my eyes closed it was easy to imagine that I was at that concert.” This is the holy grail of audio we all seek!

“ ...establishes what I consider new high-water marks in all around performance per dollar”

— Chris Martens, The Absolute Sound, January 2012

The Triton Two is the creation of industry legend Sandy Gross, whose Grand Prix Award winning loudspeakers have been impressing reviewers and listeners for over 40 years. The Triton Two incorporates cutting edge technologies like High Velocity drivers and a linear-phase crossover network. The built-in powered subwoofer utilizes a 1200 watt DSP controlled digital power amp driving dual front-mounted long-throw 5"x9" quadratic subwoofer drivers which are coupled to two side-mounted inertially balanced 6.75"x8" quadratic planar infrasonic passive radiators.

“ It’s like getting a Tesla Roadster for the price of a Toyota Prius.”

— Darryl Wilkinson, Home Theater Magazine

Sonically, the Triton Twos are simply extraordinary. They deliver boxless three-dimensional imaging that What HiFi called, “something really magical” and had AudioVision raving, “they had us believing the entire surface of the front wall was covered with speakers.” Likewise, the built-in subwoofers’ deep powerful bass blends perfectly with the utterly transparent midrange and silky smooth high-frequencies. They simply put many dramatically more expensive speakers to shame. Hear them for yourself and discover what all the excitement is about!

Triton Two Tower $1499 ea.
