I have Goldenear Triton One Rs and am very happy with them. I went to the Orange County audio show this summer and have listened to music at multiple stereo shops and audiophile friends homes. I would buy the Triton One.Rs again. I think the t66s are just a little smaller but still with a powered base. $3,800 for a new pair is a great deal.I have no affiliation with Stereo unlimited, the San Diego dealer I assume you are talking about, but can say I like dealing with them.
New to this hobby please help me
Hi all i’m unsure on what speakers to get i have a marantz sr5011 my budget is 4,000 for floor standing speakers. I found a local deal on some golden ear technology t66 the red ones for$3800. But how do i pick without the ability to listen to other brands kef sonus faber etc!! Is golden ear even good what suggestions do you have on hearing lots of brands under one roof. My listening is 50 percent music 50 percent movies.

Personally don’t care for Golden Ear speakers, much too bright and fatiguing for my taste. Of the dozens of speakers I have owned and auditioned, the following are by far the best value and most versatile. Essentially $15K+ performance for $4600: https://philharmonicaudio.com/products/ht-tower

Wizzard- A complicated question that requires time, questions, listening experiences and the reality of where your search will lead. If you are really 50/50 on music/movies, do you really want a Home theatre set-up that is also capable of great 2- channel (or more) audio without compromising? What is your current processor/amplification gear? Are you happy with it? If not, what do you need? Step back and take a broader view of what you would ultimately like to achieve. You need to make an effort to listen and view every system you can get access to. Making a purchase before you have audible and/or visual experience will result in more purchases. Good luck in your journey. |
a lot of good advice here. do your research online and make the trek to other stores besides Best Buy. some dealers will let you buy and try at home and return for another pair of speakers if you're not happy. if there's a speaker you like that Best Buy sells you can buy and get up to the end of January to return for a full refund. Listening to the speakers in your room with your equipment listening to the music you love is the only way to know for sure that you enjoy the sound. You’re beginning your musical journey. It’s a great hobby. Enjoy! |
