GoldenEar Technology keeps coming out with new speakers and reviewers keep loving them. I have been waiting for the first review of the ForceField 5 subwoofer (12″ woofer; 1500 watts; 13 x 14″ bass radiator; $999). The first one came as a surprise. For some explainable reason reviewer Mark Fleishman of Home Theater<\/em> magazine chose to review a surround system composed of five GoldenEar Technology Aon 2 bookshelf speakers and a Forcefield 5 subwoofer. Who does that? Anyway, the short version is that he absolutely loved the system and gave it 5 stars for performance, 5 stars for build quality and 5 stars for value. I’ll cherry-pick some quotes then give you a link to the complete article.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“It’s remarkable to find this kind of design and construction in a speaker selling for just $400 each”<\/em>\u00a0followed by,“Few speakers in my experience have gotten through both movie and music demos with such unfaltering grace and power as the Aon 2.”<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
“It struck me that these speakers were as adept at low level resolution in chamber music as they were with high-decibel rock’n’roll. They were boundary busters…They could play literally anything I threw at them.”<\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
“Bass response was so solid that I often ran the Aon 2s without the sub.”<\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
“I was\u00a0dumbfounded\u00a0by how much bass output the sub could muster…the ForceField 5 sub handled low-frequency barrages with floor-shaking confidence.”<\/em><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
And again, commenting on the sub’s more subtle musical capabilities,<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
“Each beat was a series of integrated events with a beginning (attack), middle (dominant bass pitch) and end (damping)…. the system could stand up to high-level blasting, never losing touch with the warmth, smoothness and texture that made me seek out the British vinyl.”<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
