Golden Ear Aon 2 Bookshelf Speakers
Step into sonic heaven with our ex-display clearance pair of Golden Ear Aon 2 Bookshelf Speakers. Originally developed for professional mixing applications, these ultra-high-performance speakers were designed to pack a punch in a compact package. Notoriously space-saving and superb in sound reproduction, the Aon 2 speakers mirror the breathtaking three-dimensional imaging quality of GoldenEar’s award-winning Triton Two Towers. While their bass may not thump as aggressively as their floor-standing counterparts, the Aon 2 speakers leverage extensive audio technology to deliver a satisfying listening experience, even without a separate subwoofer. From using cast-basket bass/midrange driver technologies derived from the Tritons to incorporating the same High Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR™) high frequency radiators of a higher price point, these speakers leave no stone unturned when it comes to sound quality. They also utilize two side-mounted planar low-frequency radiators to ensure an open, box-less midrange, and provide remarkable bass extension for such small enclosures. The distinctive pyramid-shaped construction instance isn’t purely aesthetic—it results in improved performance owing to non-parallel cabinet walls and reduced baffle area. Dressed to impress, these speakers boast sleek, glossy black end-caps trendily contrasting against their compact, pyramidal bodies. With the Golden Ear Aon 2 speakers, you’re not just stepping into a world of high-definition audio, you’re also bringing home a piece of aesthetically pleasing, modern technological art.
