Trriton Reference Floor standing Speakers


Triton Tower Speakers Overview
The Triton Series Tower Speakers are high-performance loudspeakers, with the top four models including a built-in powered subwoofer. All the Triton Towers are engineered for superb performance in both high quality two channel stereo systems as well as in multi-channel home theatre and music systems. Their sleek, elegantly curved, and tapered design is not only gorgeous but is important from a performance perspective as well. Performance-wise, the Triton Towers all deliver box less three-dimensional imaging, which reviewers have hailed as "mystical", "magical" - and, best summed up by the dramatic, "had us believing that the entire surface of the front wall was covered with speakers.". Likewise, the powerful, deep subwoofer bass blends perfectly with the silky smooth, utterly transparent midrange and high frequencies, putting many dramatically more expensive speakers to shame.

Bass Bonanza
All three of those behemoths have some sub-bass trickery going on. The French Utopia EM uses electromagnets in the bass units' motors, along with offboard energisers, and the ATC is fully active, but both the UNO XD and Triton Reference speakers have active subwoofers built into the same enclosure as the rest of the drivers. Yes, that means the References need their own AC mains supply, but it opens up some intriguing possibilities. They can either be used just as conventional speakers, with speaker-level connections from an amp or – as in a home theatre configuration – with the sub-bass section fed from the LFE output of an AV amp or processor, and the rest of the drive units powered via speaker cables.

Squeeze Box
So what we have here is essentially a two-way loudspeaker sitting on top of a subwoofer. The main driver array is built around GoldenEar's version of the Heil Air Motion Transformer tweeter, which the company calls its 'High Gauss Reference High-Velocity Folded Ribbon'. This works concertina-like, squeezing air rather than pushing and pulling it as does a conventional dome-type tweeter. In this version, exclusive to the Reference model, the diaphragm is the same as that found in, for example, the Triton Five, but there's 50% more neodymium-enriched magnetic material, thus boosting sensitivity.
