The top model of the "Triton" series from US manufacturer GoldenEar, the "Reference", has a lot to offer despite the pair price of 12,000 euros – which is comparably mild for a "reference".
The Triton Reference Speakers from GoldenEar have active electronics to support the low-frequency reproduction of the speakers, which allow for adjustments to the room as well as placement optimization. The drivers of the speakers are all built for GoldenEar.
In combination with the integrated amplifier "Riviera Levante", which can be switched to Class A operation and then puts out 2x 30 watts (coming at a price of €20,000), the performance of the speakers was indeed promising.
