GoldenEar T44 Hybrid Floorstanding Loudspeaker
What You Need to Know
A Tower with a Powered Subwoofer Built In
The T44 isn't just a loudspeaker—it's a full-range system. Inspired by GoldenEar's award-winning T66, this compact tower pairs a passive midrange and tweeter with a built-in powered bass section: a long-throw quadratic woofer and passive radiators driven by a 500-watt peak (250W RMS), 56-bit DSP-controlled amplifier. The result is tight, musical bass to subterranean depths—no separate subwoofer required.
The Famous Folded Ribbon Tweeter
GoldenEar's High-Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR) tweeter delivers silky-smooth highs with ultra-fast transient response—never harsh or fatiguing. Below it, a custom 4.5-inch cast-basket mid/bass driver with GoldenEar's Multi-Vaned Phase Plug brings dialog and vocals to life with stunning midrange realism, integrating seamlessly with the tweeter and powered bass.
Easy on Your Amp, Easy on Your Room
Because the bass section is self-powered, the T44 takes a huge load off your electronics—even tube amps and compact integrateds drive it beautifully. The curved, inert cabinet is just 7.5 inches wide, anchored by a full-footprint cast aluminum base with adjustable outrigger spikes and pads. Choose high-gloss Santa Barbara Red or Gloss Black. Sold by each.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the price for one speaker or a pair?
The T44 is sold by each. Order two for a stereo pair, or combine with other GoldenEar T Series models for a matched home theater system.
Do I need a separate subwoofer?
For most rooms, no—each T44 has its own powered subwoofer built in, with bass reaching below 30Hz. Note that each speaker's bass amplifier plugs into AC power, so plan placement near an outlet.
What amplifier do I need?
Almost any quality amp from 20 to 400 watts per channel. Because the built-in amplifier handles the power-hungry bass, your amp only drives the midrange and tweeter—making the T44 an excellent match even for low-powered tube amplifiers. Ask us if you're unsure about your electronics.
