TRITON ONE.R


GoldenEar’s new Triton One.R speaker, which is based on GoldenEar’s
flagship model, the Triton Reference, is now available in Australia
through National AV Solutions. ‘This extraordinary new reference quality
loudspeaker is a smaller, less expensive follow-up to the Triton Reference,
which has had a remarkable response in the marketplace from both music
and hi-fi enthusiasts as well as the press and reviewers from around the
world, who have bestowed upon it numerous ‘product-of-the-year’ awards,’
said Claver Harper, of National AV Solutions, which distributes
GoldenEar in Australia. ‘In fact, here in Australia, the Triton Reference is
Sound & Image Magazine’s current ‘Loudspeaker of the Year 2018–19’ while
overseas, Sound & Vision magazine has just awarded it their Loudspeaker
Top Pick of the Year.’
Sandy Gross, founder and owner of GoldenEar Technology, told
Australian Hi-Fi Magazine that the goal of the Triton One.R project
was to bring the technology and performance of the company’s flag-
ship Triton Reference into a more compact and less expensive speaker.
‘There are three newly-designed racetrack-shaped five by nine inch active
subwoofer drivers on the front of the cabinet, which have special polymer
impregnated nomex cones in order to minimize cone breakup when strongly
driven, and there are four seven by ten inch quadratic planar infrasonic ra-
diators to extend the low frequency response,’ said Gross. ‘The High Velocity
Folded Ribbon tweeter, is the same one used in the Triton Reference, and is
a new design that incorporates 50 per cent more neodymium magnetic mate-
rial than previous units, for higher efficiency and greater control. The two
five and a quarter inch upper bass/midrange drivers are also new, incorporat-
ing a special formulation of polypropylene which combines superior internal
damping with a higher speed of transmission through the cone.’
‘Thanks to painstaking listening and voicing sessions in GoldenEar’s lis-
tening room, the voicing of the new Triton One.R mirrors that of the Triton
Reference,’ said Harper. ‘The new Triton One.R’s cabinet is also gorgeous,
being painstakingly finished in hand-rubbed piano black lacquer. Overall, it
presents itself as an exquisite, sleek, ultra-high-performance lifestyle loud-
speaker that delivers extraordinary sound quality that’s comparable with
speakers selling for many times the Triton One.R’s recommended retail price
of $11,500perpair.’
