As the Triton Three rolls out to accolades and new awards, the Triton Two continues its amazing assemblage of honors. Home Theater Magazine selects a small number of products reviewed each issue for Top Pick honors. All three of our products that they have reviewed, the TritonCinema Two System, SuperCinema 3 System and most recently the TritonCinema Three System have been so chosen. But even more important is their highly coveted Top Pick of the Year award, auspiciously given to the Top Picks of the Year in various categories.
We are proud to announce that the TritonCinema Two System has been selected as a Home Theater Magazine 2011 Top Pick of the Year!
Of course, they had a few choice laudatory comments, like saying that it is a wildly successful speaker that is …
"an audio highlight of the year … delivers high-end sound quality at a price any serious audiophile can afford"
and …
"a terrific value … a very fine speaker that competes favorably with many that cost a great deal more!"
Of course, we all know that and more about this world-beater product.

They are here!
The long anticipated GoldenEar speaker shipment has finally arrived on Dec 13th, 2010 at our stores. We’ve received the SuperSat3, ForceFiled 4, ForceField 3, and SuperSat 3-C. There are just enough to put samples up for demonstration with a small quantity of Supersat 3 for sale. These Supersat 3 sell for a ridiculously low price of $249 each.
We couldn’t resist. Although, we’ve haven’t had the time to properly mount them, we just had to turn them on for a listen. They sounded fabulously.

GoldenEar SuperCinema 3 is a winner of the CEA 2011 Best of Innovations Award for Best home Theater Loudspeaker System.

Conversation with Sandy Gross on GoldenEar
Sandy Gross with Excite Award
Out of the blue, on July 17th, Sandy leaves a voicemail to call him back. He wanted to update me on a new project he was working on. I hadn’t talked to him since his departure from Definitive Technology last year. For those of you who don’t know Sandy, he was a cofounder of Polk and Definitive Technology, both highly successfully speaker brands.
So I returned the call, and after catching up on our personal news, he went on to explain the launch of his new speaker brand. I said, “Sandy, are you out of your mind? A new speaker line in this recession? And GoldenEar? Why GoldenEar?” He said, “Can you easily remember GolderEar if I just mentioned once and it means something?” I said “Yea-easily”. “That why I chose it; I don’t want any of those meaningless high tech names.”
Then he goes on to explain all the new technologies he had incorporated into his new launch – that each of them would provide fantastic performance, but combining them all together will be incredible. As he was explaining them to me, I can sense the excitement and joy in his voice; just like a young boy in a candy store.
I’ve known Sandy for decades, and in my book, he is an extraordinary marketing and speaker designer. It’s an unusually rare combination to find this in any one individual.
So when he asked Paradyme to be one of his charter dealers, we were honored. This is the first speaker brand that we agreed to represent on a lineup that we had not heard or seen – just on Sandy’s reputation and the veteran team he had assembled.
Last week, I saw Sandy after our HTSA association dinner in Saint Louis. He was smiling and having a great time. Actually, he was bubbling. I told Sandy, I don’t recalled seeing you so excited and happy in years. He went on to explain he had a great CEDIA launch and the interest exceeded his expectations. We carried on a conversation about the behind-the-scene CEDIA hiccups but it all worked out – they were hilarious.
Sandy is a visionary, so I asked him what’s in the future for the brand and the industry in general. He said he already has next year’s designs in his mind – I can sense his products are market driven. Sandy goes on to explain at great length, that the market demands a great value at high performance. Dealers had told him that his speakers are too inexpensive compared to others -that the sound quality and fit and finish of his speakers are just too good. Sandy said that’s the way he wanted it – with a smile.
First products are expected to begin shipping on the week of December 6th, 2010.
