The new Invisa Home Theater Reference In-Ceiling speakers are now shipping and early reports are that they are AMAZING! So, I wanted to give you a few set-up and installation tips to insure you get the same great results.

First, I would suggest that you start with the tweeter level switch in the "+" position. As you know, the ideal tweeter level on this kind of speaker is very variable depending on room acoustics, positioning and personal taste. I would suggest starting there and then adjusting to taste. Second, you can, and should, rotate the Left and Right HTR 7000s in the ceiling so that they point at the central listening position (as we suggest for our freestanding speakers), as shown in the Owners Manual diagram (see below). This will give you the widest possible ideal listening area.

"I am confident that most listeners in the market for a fairly compact speaker and powerful sub will love them, and they might even turn heads among those who want a bigger speaker and bigger sub." writes Mark Fleischman in his outstanding review of the Aon 2 / ForceField 5 home theater system in the May 2013 Issue of Home Theater Magazine, where both models received TOP PICKS Awards!

The GoldenEar Triton Two is an Editors' Choice winner from The Absolute Sound Magazine, saying "The Triton Two handles high frequencies via a superb Heil-type tweeter, the all-important middle frequencies via dual ultra-wide-bandwidth midrange drivers, and the low end with a sophisticated 1200-watt DSP-controlled subwoofer. Together these elements give you a slender. full-range floorstander that sounds astonishingly refined, and offers robust dynamics and spectacular 3D imaging".

Aon 3 receives China's New-Audiophile Magazine 2012 Product of the Year!

"The GoldenEar Technology SuperCinema 3D Array soundbar ($999) was a real surprise. I was enjoying the music in this room without realizing I was listening to a sound bar." writes The Stereo Times' Don Shaulis in his CES 2013 Show Report.

Hi Fi Choice's Jason Kennedy, one of England's most critical reviewers, concludes his review of the Aon 3 bookshelf speakers in the February 2013 Issue of HiFi Choice with "... this unusual standmount is hugely entertaining, revealing and excellent value for the money" and gives them the coveted HiFi Choice Recommended Award!

He raves about the tweeter, "whose finesse at high frequencies brings great smoothness to the treble" and notes, "you start to appreciate just how coarse many domes can be by comparison". He also loves "... the Aon 3s exceptional imaging capabilities" and, "the way that sound creates depth and space is made very clear and in an entirely natural sounding fashion ... I began to enjoy the texture it reveals across the band, something that gives depth to voices that is very enticing". Pick up the issue today to read the full review!

"If you listen to music most, do yourself a favor and downsize your home theater – and upgrade your listening experience – with a pair of GoldenEar's Aon 3 stereo speakers." Says Men's Journal Magazine's Michael Gowan.

GoldenEar wins TWO Home Theater Magazine 2012 Top Picks of the Year! The Triton Three wins in the Speakers category and the 3D Array wins in the Soundbar category, saying: "This kind of transparency and imaging is just hard to come by at any cost, but with its attractive $999 price tag, the Triton Three easily stood out as one of our Top Picks of the Year among speakers." and "GoldenEar tapped into some recent Princeton University research on 3D audio to create the SuperCinema 3D Array, which uses crosstalk cancellation technology to project an exceptionally wide and deep soundstage. Coupled with the company’s superb-sounding folded-motion tweeter, it’s a staggering combo that performed equally well on movies and music."

The Tritons are relatively easy to set up, but I wanted to give you a few tips from my personal experience and perspective.

First, if they have just come off the truck or from a cold warehouse, let them come to room temperature before playing. Regarding placement, I like to set them up fairly far apart (even further apart than you are from the speakers) and toe'd in right at, or pointed a little behind, the listening position. If possible, locate the speakers a foot or two out from the rear wall and away from the side walls. Try not to have them the same distance from the side and rear walls. Spikes are included and we recommend them for installation after you have the Tritons properly positioned in your room.
