The new Triton Seven brings Speaker-of-the-Year Award winning Triton Series performance into a more compact size and even more affordable price range. GoldenEar’s Triton Towers have set new performance and value standards all around the world. The new Triton Seven follows in this auspicious tradition. Although it is the first Triton Tower without a built-in powered subwoofer, it still achieves superbly deep, subwoofer-like impactful bass performance by combining advanced technology drivers with our highly evolved and sophisticated bass-loading technologies.

The Seven’s unique cabinet shape is both acoustically purposeful as well as strikingly attractive. Its stylish rearward rake, in conjunction with the complex crossover, both aligns the driver array precisely for a coherent wave-launch directed at ear level at the listening position, as well as results in non-parallel front and rear baffles for better control of internal standing waves. And, of course, the non-parallel side cabinet walls and slanted top provide the same acoustical performance benefit, as well as looking great. The Seven’s precise and totally boxless imaging characteristics are further enhanced by the narrow front baffle, as well as the diffractionless designer grille cloth sock which adds additional sheer damping to the cabinet. In addition, the beautifully sculpted piano-gloss black base adds significantly to the Seven’s dynamic stability.

Like the signature Triton Two, the Seven combines a D’Appolito array of bass midrange drivers, which surround the same, now famous, High Velocity Folded Ribbon Driver (HVFR™), used in both the Triton Two and Three. The HVFR™ tweeter functions by pressurizing the air, rather than pushing and pulling it, for much better impedance matching with the air. This results in superb extension combined with a silky smooth non-fatiguing character, which is both unique and extraordinary. The spiderleg cast-basket 5.25” bass/midrange drivers, newly developed at our Arnprior, Canada engineering facility, have been specifically designed for exceptionally long-throw for tremendous dynamic range and extraordinarily deep bass response.

In addition, their precisely curved cone combined with a specially formulated polypropylene cone material and unique apical glue bonding technique delivers superb high-definition midrange clarity and presence. Like the two larger Tritons, the Seven incorporates 2 side-mounted sub-bass radiators that are located on either side of the cabinet down near the floor for optimum coupling to the room. The Triton Seven’s high-resolution sonic performance makes it perfect for the highest quality two channel systems as well as the best multi-channel music and home theater systems.

We are now taking pre-orders for the Triton 7 for delivery by the end of October, there are limited numbers of pairs on this shipment and demand is high due to some pretty stunning reviews like the one below by Steve Guttenberg:

The GoldenEar Technology Triton Seven is, as we audiophiles like to say, "transparent" -- it sounds like an open window to the sound of music. That's always the goal for high-end speakers, but only the very best ones take you all the way there.
The Triton Seven's slender cabinet leaves no doubt: this is a thoroughly modern design. The swept-back, nonparallel-sided cabinets, and high-gloss black accents are distinctive; I'm sure the Triton Seven will never be mistaken for just another big-box tower.
The Triton Seven's front, sides, and rear are covered with a wrap-around black cloth grille; the cabinet's top cap and base are high-gloss piano black. The speakers have heavy-duty, all-metal speaker wire connectors. It's 39.75 inches tall and weighs 32 pounds, so it's no hassle to move around and set up. You can't easily remove the grille, but trust me, there are two 5.25-inch mid/bass drivers vertically flanking the Triton Seven's remarkable High Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeter. Similar to the tweeters in my favorite Emotiva and Adam Audio speakers, this tweeter's clarity surpasses what you get from dome tweeters in more-conventional speaker designs. The mid/bass drivers are designed in-house by the GoldenEar engineering team led by Bob Johnston. The Triton Seven's tweeter is used in all GoldenEar speakers, including the flagship Triton Two tower speakers. Oh, and each Triton Seven also has a pair of GoldenEar 8-inch passive radiators on the sides of the cabinet, near the base.
Don Cherry's "Codona" jazz CD is loaded with exotic instruments, and the Sevens were fully capable of transporting me back to the sessions. With the lights off in my listening room, the believability of the sound was astonishing. No comparably priced towers can touch the Triton Seven's clarity, and with that clarity comes a remarkable sound stage; the speakers disappear as sound sources.

Nirvana's "Unplugged in New York" was stunning; talk about virtual reality! Los Lobos' "Kiko Live," another great concert recording, actually improves on the studio album in every way, and it really shined over the Triton Sevens. Blu-rays of "Black Hawk Down" and "King Kong" demonstrated that the Triton Sevens' stereo home theater chops were fully in order. Massive dynamic range assaults were taken in stride, and the Triton Seven's dialogue was as natural as can be. The two speakers projected such a wide and deep sound stage, the surround channels were never missed.
