GoldenEar Triton Five

The Triton Five speakers are a variant of the entry level Passive Triton Seven from GoldenEar, though much larger in size. The Five series towers have been designed to be more dynamic and more extended when it comes to bass performance. GoldenEar also uses the technology it has developed for its top-of-the-line Triton One on this model.

The Triton Five uses a balanced crossover that is a scaled-down version of the one used in the Triton One. This crossover ensures that you get more clarity and directness of sound. The Five series also features an exclusive high-velocity folded ribbon (HVFR) tweeter for better impedance, matching the air in the room for those perfect notes, whether they are produced from brushing a cymbal or brass band members playing a melody in the background.

The tweeter, unlike other tweeters that use a dome or a ribbon that moves, uses a folded accordion-like material that ionises the air around the tweeter to create those high notes, and all this without any moving parts. Though one can argue that this generates ozone around the speaker, the sound it ends up creating is worth listening to.

The speakers also use two six-inch mid range drivers around the tweeter that make the sound bounce off perfectly to envelope you, and also offer accurate tonal quality. Each tower has four eight-inch passive radiators that couple the energy inside the cabinet from both the drivers with the low end notes and push this out to create an impressive sound that surrounds you, whether you are listening to Vivaldi or Frank Sinatra.

The Triton Five series is not designed as a top-of-the-line sound unit, but it certainly turns great quality sound affordable.

The Five series starts shipping in March and pre-orders may be placed, though we don’t know of the Indian price or release date.
