When Sandy Gross's Legacy Met AudioQuest's Innovation

GoldenEar changed hands in 2020, but what happened next surprised everyone. Instead of corporate dilution, The Quest Group (AudioQuest's parent) doubled down on Sandy Gross's original vision while adding their cable expertise and obsessive attention to signal preservation. The T66 is the first fruit of this merger – a speaker that takes everything beloved about the Triton series and elevates it with AudioQuest internal wiring, dramatically enhanced crossovers, and build quality that makes $10,000 speakers look overpriced. This demo pair, with less than 30 hours of gentle break-in time, represents the evolution of powered tower technology at its finest.

The Tower That Solves Audio's Most Frustrating Problem

Every audiophile knows the subwoofer crawl – that undignified ritual of dragging a sub around the room searching for bass nirvana. GoldenEar eliminated this entirely. The T66's built-in 1000-watt peak powered subwoofer section with DSP control puts the bass exactly where it belongs: in the speaker. Two 5" × 9" quadratic long-throw drivers coupled to massive planar radiators deliver flat response to 29Hz (measured to mid-20s in-room). The Absolute Sound's verdict: "The bass sounds just fantastic... negating the need for an additional powered subwoofer."

Where AMT Magic Meets Powered Authority

Revolutionary Driver Array:

* HVFR AMT Tweeter: High-velocity folded ribbon for crystalline highs
* Dual 4.5" Cast-Basket Midrange: Multi-vaned phase plugs for dispersion
* Two 5" × 9" Powered Woofers: DSP-controlled with 500W RMS
* Dual 8" × 12" Passive Radiators: 53 square inches of radiating area
* D'Appolito Configuration: Time-aligned coherence
* Total System Integration: No crossover gaps or driver fights

AudioQuest DNA Throughout:

* Perfect-Surface Copper+ Wiring: Direction-controlled with carbon layer
* PMO-Treated Bypass Capacitors: Permanent molecular optimization
* Enhanced Crossover Design: Flat response across 9+ octaves
* L-Pad Tweeter Control: Efficiency matching without losses
* Ferrous-Free Components: Zero magnetic interference
* Bi-Wire Capability: Dual binding posts with gold-plated jumpers

Build Quality That Redefines the Category:

* Cast-Aluminum Base: Not plastic like competitors
* Metal Mesh Grilles: Acoustically transparent, dust-proof
* Proportionally Strongest Cabinet: GoldenEar's most rigid design
* Gloss Black Finish: Piano-quality lacquer
* Adjustable Feet: Spikes for carpet, rubber for hardwood
* Blue Power LED: Subtle amplifier status indicator

The Sound That Makes Reviewers Run Out of Superlatives

Sound & Vision measured what listeners hear: "Extension down to the mid-20Hz region is consistently visible... But what's really impressive is the linearity of the rest of the frequency range. This is not the typical roller coaster graph... It is refined, a smooth slight downward slope that's absolutely textbook." The T66 doesn't just play deep – it plays right. Bass has texture, not just impact. Midrange floats free of the cabinet with AMT speed matching dynamic driver warmth. Treble extends to 25kHz without harshness.

Twittering Machines' Michael Lavorgna declared: "The GoldenEar T66 deliver as much pure music-inspired pleasure for that spend as any speaker I've heard anywhere near that number."

Positive Feedback discovered value: "For thousands less, the T66 loudspeaker provides a glimpse of what loudspeakers a full price-tier up are capable of."

Why Demo Units Are the Ultimate Find

Demo units with minimal hours represent exceptional value:

• Less than 30 hours means drivers are just beginning to loosen up
• Full break-in potential still ahead for even better performance
• Professional handling ensures pristine condition
• Full warranty as new product
• Complete packaging and accessories
• Immediate availability (no wait times)
• Significant savings on essentially new product

What Makes the T66 Revolutionary:

Stereophile's measurements confirmed what listeners hear: the integration between powered bass and passive midrange/treble is seamless. No discontinuity, no phase issues, just coherent music. The DSP doesn't just control volume – it adjusts equalization curves in real-time for perfect room integration. This isn't a speaker with a subwoofer bolted on; it's a complete system engineered as one.

HomeTheaterHifi discovered the secret: "With the rubber feet in place, I found sliding and toeing in each speaker to be an easy one-man job." At 60 pounds, these are manageable by one person yet substantial enough for stability.
