Just arrived! The GoldenEar Triton Reference is the largest and best sounding speaker in their line up. This pair is less than a year old and in excellent condition with all original boxes and packing. Speakers include upgraded NRGZ3 power cords from AudioQuest.
These speakers have built in powered subwoofers for true sub bass in any room. There will be no need for external subwoofers in most cases. Lets face it, a speaker that can produce this amount of bass is just fun and will leave nothing missing from the recording.

This speakers has been reviewed by everyone. See what they have to say below.
Reason for selling is downsizing to a smaller space and must make the sacrifice to go with smaller speakers.
Shipping is not listed but will be calculated for the buyers actual zip code.
Thanks for looking!
From stereophile- GoldenEar Technology's Triton Reference isn't quite as exquisite a time slicer as the top-of-the-line speakers from Magico, Rockport, Vandersteen, Vivid, and Wilson, all of which I've auditioned in the past year. What it does do is offer an expansive, almost always involving sweep of full-range sound for a price that is a small fraction of what any of those models cost.
From the absolute sound-

The Reference outperformed some very expensive competition in handling the extraordinary deep bass notes and dynamics on bands 2, 13, and 14 of Jean Guillou’s performance of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. It also did as much as possible to reproduce the complex mix of deep lower frequencies, massive orchestral power, and soundstage imaging in my recording of the last movement of Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3. Like Mahler’s “Symphony of a Thousand,” there are some pieces of music that are simply too massive to accurately reproduce in the home.

In short, the Triton Reference is one of the few loudspeakers I’ve encountered that can actually produce truly low musical bass and warble test tones down to the lowest subwoofer depths and do so in ways that are properly integrated into the overall response of the speaker. It really does bring out the deepest notes a recording allows with tight detail and without exaggeration. It is not room-placement-proof. Care is needed to keep the subwoofer level restrained to natural music levels, and proper spiking can help, but only a few far more expensive speakers—normally with digital room compensation—have performed better in my system.

And just to be clear, I’d add the same praise for its ability to handle rock ’n’ roll such as the Stones, and jazz such as the MJQ, which is just about as contemporary as I want to get.

Summary Judgment

Highly recommended. Well worth auditioning and fully competitive with some substantially more expensive speakers.
From Sound and Vision-

Referencing the Reference
It’s often said that GoldenEar speakers sound as good as, if not better than, models costing 10 times as much. To give that notion a reality check, I made a point of visiting a high-end audio shop during my evaluation period to listen to speakers that actually do cost 10 times as much as the Triton Reference. (A shout-out to Speaker Shop in Amherst, New York, for providing the access—and apologies for making you listen to The Dark Side of the Moon.) Hearing my reference tracks on those überexpensive speakers (which, of course, were attached to über-expensive amps), I was surprised at how well the Reference compared. Were there differences?

Yes. Imaging with the $85,000/pair speakers was stunningly precise, and their sound had an effortless, rock-solid quality that caused the towers to completely disappear from the room. But many of the qualities I heard with that system—transparency, nimble dynamic contrasts, top-to-bottom cohesiveness—were in evidence when I returned home and listened with the Reference. Was I still happy? Absolutely!

Pure Pleasure
One thing that often gets lost in audio equipment reviews is the fun factor: Did the reviewer enjoy listening to music with this or that component? The detailed, dynamic, and full-range sound put out by the Triton Reference had the effect of turning me into a music junkie (that audio crack thing I mentioned earlier). I’m a regular music listener, but once I had the Reference up and running, I found myself wanting to do little else. Blu-rays, Netflix, the internet, exercise—it all went by the wayside, and I found myself sitting up late, night after night, playing music. I also invited non-audiophile friends and neighbors over to listen, blowing numerous unsullied minds in the process. And when I mentioned how much the Reference costs, not one person blinked.
