The\u00a0Triton\u00a0Two stunned audiophile reviewers and listeners with its combination of excellent sound and moderate price, so much\u00a0so that many reviewers compared it to speakers costing\u00a0three times its $3,000\u00a0price or more. One reviewer went so far as to put it on a par with $20,000 speakers. In following years, as smaller GoldenEar speakers were introduced, reviewers and\u00a0other listeners noted continued improvements: GoldenEar&#8217;s team was making each new speaker an exercise in improvement, redesigning and refining the\u00a0drivers and crossover. Finally the Triton One became their\u00a0crowning achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than rest on their achievement the GoldenEar team, headed by Sandy Gross, used the lessons learned from their research on the Triton One to create\u00a0the Triton\u00a0Two<strong>+<\/strong>\u00a0and the Three<strong>+. The goal of all this\u00a0re-engineering\u00a0was to have the Triton Two+ and Three+ sound\u00a0more like the Triton 1 at a lower cost and a smaller size.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How well did\u00a0they succeed? Here are some\u00a0early responses to the new speakers:<br \/>\n<strong>CES 2016 Quotables:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>Residential Systems &#8211; John Sciacca<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<em>I listened to the $2500\/pair Triton Three and was blown away by the depth, dimensionality and just stomp-on-your-chest bass. It&#8217;s clich\u00e9 to say &#8220;Sandy did it again!&#8221; but new Triton Three+ is simply stunning at $2500\/pr.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>The Absolute Sound &#8211; Jim Hannon<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em>GoldenEar Triton Three+ loudspeakers are amazing values.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Stereophile &#8211; Herb Reichart<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Both models could move and handle like European race cars. Compared to the Triton Five (I really liked them), the Two+ and Three+ played faster-with greater detail, presence and agility. They shed more light on the music. They did jump and jive&#8230;Two impressive high-end loudspeakers at a very comfortable price.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>HomeTheaterReview &#8211; Adrienne Maxwell<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em>GoldenEar&#8217;s demo of the smaller Three+ sounded fantastic.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Sound &amp; Vision &#8211; Mark Fleishman<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em>One of the two best demos at the show&#8230;GoldenEar&#8217;s Triton Two+ and Triton Three + have been upgraded to adopt the same sonic signature as the Triton One.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Secrets of Home Theater &#8211; Jim Clements<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em>I must agree that both models (Triton Two+ and Three+) displayed the Triton One pedigree that has won over music lovers around the globe.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>Dagogo &#8211; Marc Silver<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<em>On the Model Two+, I found the bass nicely extended with very fast transients and impressive extension. The mids were smooth and focused and the highs were open and airy &#8211; all the things I look for in any high-end speaker, but especially appreciated in one at this price.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five years ago the Triton Two was GoldenEar Technology&#8217;s first speaker, and it was an immediate sensation.
