T66 - Første modell ut i GoldenEar Technology sin nye høyttalerserie

Lanseringen av nye T66 vil finne sted under High End messen i München i mai. Antatt pris ved lansering er NOK 83 940,- (NOK 87 540,- for utgaven i rød pianolakk). En romslig rabatt vil bli gitt på alle forhåndsbestillinger som måtte komme inn forut for vår import i juni.

Produsenten skriver følgende:

The T-66 is the first model in GoldenEar’s new T Series. It is not a Triton but honours the 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 a long-throw powered sub-bass section.

Designendringer i forhold til den eksisterende Triton-serien:

• New smaller-profile metal base with adjustable aluminium feet, ideal for carpets, tiles and wooden flooring
• Perforated metal grilles offer less restriction to sound from the front firing drive units
• First bi-wirable GoldenEar design including upgraded binging posts, which ships with high quality AudioQuest biwire jumpers
• Completely new internal wiring loom to the crossover and mid/tweeters using AudoQuest Zero Tech wiring technology (for reference, the cheapest AQ Zero Tech cable is $/€200 per metre unterminated, so this is a serious cable to use inside a speaker cabinet)
• Improved crossover design with high quality components, upgraded internal acoustic materials, improved felt around the tweeter, and many other improvements
• New driver layout, with the side firing bass radiators placed between the 2 active bass drivers, as show in the image below

Et par T66 i rød utførelse er allerede bestilt opp for demo bruk og skal etter planen leveres oss i juni.

T66 var opprinnelig tenkt å erstatte Triton Two+, men yter så bra at den i stedet vil ta plassen til Triton One.R. Siden dette betyr at Triton One.R fases ut, så vil GoldenEar Technology tilby ekstraordinære priser på produktene under i de neste 3 månedene (april, mai & juni) og så lenge lageret rekker:

* Triton Reference til Triton One.R pris
* Triton One.R til Triton Two+ pris
* SuperCenter Reference til 25% rabatt
* SuperSub XXL til 25% rabatt
