I would think with the adjustments they offer should be good to go on the bass end of things. Pretty good size room though! I would be more worried about mids and highs getting lost. I had Triton ones and they were pretty damn good but was in a very different room.
GoldenEar Triton Reference for a large room...
Hi All:
i'm moving into an apartment with a large living room and am considering the GoldenEar Triton Reference speakers.
the issue with the large room (34 ft x 24 ft) is that there is a connected dining room nearby, and it is essentially open to each other, no doors, merely separated by one fireplace, so the bass will "leak" over to the dining room. furthermore, the dining room has a wide hallway that leads to the kitchen, and there is also no doorway separating the dining room and the kitchen.
with all these connected spaces, my concern is that the bass would be lost or somehow discounted to a degree. with that in mind, i am thinking of getting the References rather than the GoldenEar 1.R model, as the References have more robust bass drivers.
may i please ask the good folks here for thoughts, ideas, comments?
thank you in advance.

@dualmonitors I should have written Ones...like a pair of Ones.The original model. I've had them in a couple of rooms. Currently they are used for HT in a pretty lousy setup. In my last house They were used for both HT and stereo. The rooms was about 15 x 25 (guessing)....and it opened to upstairs bedrooms. The day after watching an action film with explosions etc, we'd have to go through the house straightening all the pic on walls. LOL I've never run the subs higher than about 12 Oclock. |
I think the T Ref's will work well. I have the T 1.r's in a dedicated listening room. However it's not as large of space as yours. With the adjustable bass driver you can fine tune the bass manually on the back of the speaker. Also they are really efficient and don't need a lot of power, but if you do have a lot of power they can handle it and probably really fill any room. I drive mine with a 65 WPC tube amp and it works really well with them. My guess is that you will be thrilled with them as they are really good sounding speakers. |

One other thought about the References: considering that the speakers are in their 5th year (or thereabouts), with no stated improvements made since their introduction (i.e. no Reference 1.1), might these be a bit dated? Quality control: how do current owners of ANY GoldenEar speakers, especially the References, the Ones, the 1.Rs, etc, feel about the quality control? either of the built-in amps, or any other aspects of their construction, their drivers, etc. please? GoldenEar has been sold to Audioquest, is that also a risk to take into account? these are some of the things on my mind. i'd be grateful for the experienced folks here to give me your highly experienced comments, please. thank you. |
