T66 Tower Speaker
with Powered Bass
Introducing the T Series
The T66 is the first model in GoldenEar’s new T Series. While it boasts several significant refinements of our time-tested design concepts, the T66 is undeniably a GoldenEar loudspeaker, placing beautiful sound and music before all else.
Honoring the Triton Series
It honors the critically acclaimed Triton Series, sharing a similarly tall, slender profile; built-in DSP-controlled subwoofer amplification; and a driver complement comprising GoldenEar’s High-Velocity Folded Ribbon AMT tweeter, cast-basket mid/bass units, quadratic planar radiators, and long-throw powered sub-bass section.
Onward and Upward
Several important cosmetic and sonic refinements distinguish the new T66 from previous GoldenEar speakers. These include a dramatically augmented crossover design, high-quality internal wiring, a new metal base and grille, and, in addition to GoldenEar’s high-gloss piano-black lacquer, a vibrant red cabinet finish.
Coming Soon – Fall/Winter 2023
High-Quality Binding Posts — Now BiWireable
Two pairs of binding posts accommodate biwiring and feature improved materials to minimize distortion. Includes AudioQuest’s Direct-Gold Plated Bare Naked Jumpers.
High-Definition Mid/Bass Drivers
GoldenEar’s cast-basket mid/bass drivers feature an improved yoke assembly to minimize distortion and employ Multi-Vaned Phase Plugs for excellent off-axis response.
Elegant Cabinet
Designed for performance and beauty, the T66’s tall, slender cabinet contributes to the speaker’s holographic imaging and features 50% more bracing for reduced cabinet distortion.Optimized Crossover Design and Internal Wiring
All critical crossover capacitors are treated with AudioQuest’s burn-in machine for significantly reduced dielectric-noise and wide-bandwidth linearity. AudioQuest’s Direction-Controlled wiring aids noise- dissipation for significantly improved high-frequency resolution.Quadratic Planar Back-Wave-Driven Radiators
Afford extended low-frequency response, improved low-frequency impact, and minimal distortion — all while avoiding port noise or chuffing.
Sturdy, adjustable cast-aluminum base features aluminum feet to accommodate tile or wood floors. Optional spikes thread into the bottom of the feet to minimize energy loss and further optimize sonic performance.
GoldenEar’s cast-basket mid/bass drivers feature an improved yoke assembly to minimize distortion and employ Multi-Vaned Phase Plugs for excellent off-axis response.
Wool felt, strategically placed around the Reference High-Velocity Folded Ribbon AMT tweeter’s mounting, plate further minimizes diffraction distortion.
Optimized subwoofer arrangement (one high and one low on the cabinet) produces better coupling of sub drivers to the passive radiators for approximately 1dB additional output.
