Compact Floorstander with Built-in Powered Sub Redefines High Performance
The high-performance T44 Hybrid Floorstanding Loudspeaker is the newest addition to GoldenEar’s acclaimed T Series. This compact floorstanding speaker blends signature acoustic innovations with a downsized, décor-friendly footprint inspired by the award-winning T66 tower.
The T44 delivers expansive sound, lifelike imaging and deep, articulate bass – all in a form that’s easy to place, but immensely powerful to experience. A built-in 500 Watt peak, 250 Watt RMS, 56-bit DSP-controlled amplifier delivers precise, powerful bass for the lower frequencies with the T4's built in subwoofer.
Designed for modern homes, the T44 offers a compelling solution for hi-fi, home theater, and streaming enthusiasts. It offers high-fidelity, full-range performance without the size and bulk of traditional tower speakers.
Hybrid Performance, the GoldenEar Way
Similar to the award-winning T66, the T44 isn't 'just' a loudspeaker. It is a full-range, high-performance system built around a hybrid design philosophy. By incorporating a powered bass section within each speaker, GoldenEar delivers deep, authoritative low-frequency response without burdening your amplifier.
This design takes a significant load off your electronics, allowing the midrange and high frequencies to shine with greater clarity and control. And because the bass section is self-powered, the T Series is far less demanding on your system — making the T44 a perfect match even for lower-powered components, including tube amplifiers and compact integrated amps.
Compact by Design, Monumental in Performance
Inspired by the critically acclaimed T66, the T44 brings the same wide-open soundstage, holographic imaging, and effortless dynamics that define the GoldenEar experience. Engineered with proprietary driver technology and an integrated powered-subwoofer bottom-end, it delivers the kind of deep, articulate bass and soaring high frequencies that turn everyday listening into a high-fidelity escape.
Whether placed in an apartment, media room, or secondary listening area, the T44 fits beautifully into its environment while filling it with immersive, dynamic sound. With its sleek proportions, self-powered bass section, and precisely arranged driver array, the T44 redefines what’s possible in space-conscious audio.
High-Velocity Folded Ribbon Tweeter
Designed for modern living spaces and intimate listening environments, the T44 delivers room-filling sound without dominating the room, thanks to its impressive driver complement.
GoldenEar’s HVFR™ Tweeter High-Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeter produces silky-smooth highs with ultra-fast transient response, revealing the finest nuances in music and film soundtracks. Critically finessed wool felt on the mounting plate and elsewhere minimizes diffraction and 'bounce' distortions.
Unlike traditional dome tweeters, the folded ribbon design dramatically increases the radiating surface area while maintaining ultra-low mass. This results in lightning-fast transient response, exceptional detail retrieval, and a broad, natural dispersion pattern that fills the room with smooth, airy highs — never harsh or fatiguing.
Precision-Engineered Mid/Bass Driver
The 4.5" custom-voiced cast-basket mid/bass driver delivers exceptional clarity and presence, capturing every nuance with precision. This driver is at the core of GoldenEar’s signature sound, providing remarkable midrange realism that brings music and dialog to life with stunning naturalness and depth.
Purpose-built for the GoldenEar T-Series, this precision- engineered 4.5” driver combines a rigid cast basket with GoldenEar's proprietary Multi-Vaned Phase Plug™ (MVPP) design to deliver exceptional clarity, speed, and control. Tuned specifically for upper-bass and midrange performance, it ensures seamless integration with the T44’s folded ribbon tweeter and bass drivers, resulting in a balanced, dynamic, and emotionally engaging listening experience.
Quadratic Woofer with 56-Bit DSP-Controlled Amplification
Think of the T44 as a full-range speaker with a built-in powered subwoofer. A quadratic woofer, paired with passive radiators and powered by an advanced 56-bit DSP- controlled amplifier, delivers tight, musical bass that reaches subterranean depths – all without the need for a separate sub.
To maximize performance and system integration, the built-in 500 Watt peak, 250 Watt RMS amplifier powering the long-throw quadratic planar low-frequency driver employs advanced digital signal processing (DSP). This ensures optimal driver protection, dynamic range, and frequency response shaping. The result is tight, musical bass that seamlessly blends with the midrange and highs, delivering a cohesive, full-spectrum soundstage.
Acoustically Optimized Enclosure
Featuring a lifestyle-ready footprint, the T44 brings uncompromised fidelity to spaces where larger towers simply won’t fit. And it does this beautifully – in every sense.
The curved, inert cabinet design minimizes coloration while maximizing appeal. Offered in high-gloss Piano Black and Santa Barbara Red finishes that are as visually stunning as their sound.
The full-footprint cast aluminum base provides exceptional stability and durability, anchoring the speaker securely in place. Equipped with adjustable outrigger spikes and pads, it effortlessly adapts to both carpeted and hard surface floors, minimizing vibrations and ensuring optimal acoustic performance in any environment.
Better Performance with Bi-Wiring Support
Dual binding posts provide versatile connectivity options, allowing for bi-wiring to enhance audio performance. By separating the high and low-frequency signals, bi-wiring reduces interference and improves clarity, delivering a cleaner, more detailed soundstage for discerning listeners.
