Know before you buy
Yes, absolutely. Because the drivers are angled to direct sound toward your listening position, this speaker is specifically designed to function effectively as a front left, center, or right channel, providing the imaging you would typically expect from a traditional floor-standing speaker.
Yes, orientation matters. You will need to rotate the speaker within the ceiling cutout so that the angled drivers are facing toward your primary listening area to ensure the soundstage is correctly focused.
These speakers are quite flexible, with a recommended power range of 10 to 250 watts per channel. A standard high-quality AV receiver will drive them comfortably, but they have the headroom to handle more powerful external amplification if you want to push them for higher output.
It is designed to be nearly invisible. The speaker includes a magnetically attached, micro-perf grille that sits flush with the ceiling, allowing it to blend into your room's decor without drawing attention to the hardware.
While the HTR 7000 has an impressive frequency response down to 25 Hz, which is deeper than many in-ceiling speakers, it is still a 7-inch driver. For a full-scale home theater experience with deep, cinematic bass, pairing these with a dedicated subwoofer is recommended.
The High-Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeter is designed to move air more efficiently than a traditional dome tweeter. This results in clearer, more detailed high frequencies with less distortion, contributing to the open and expansive soundstage that GoldenEar is known for.
