GoldenEar Said….
The Aon’s are exceptionally compact, ultra-high-performance bookshelf speakers that were originally developed for use as near-field monitors in professional mixing applications. The design goal was to produce modestly-sized shelf or stand-mountable speakers that would achieve accurate high-definition sonic reproduction, with superb three-dimensional imaging, comparable to that achieved by GoldenEar’s™ award winning Triton Two Towers. Although they don’t have quite the awe-inspiring bass of the floor-standing Tritons, great care has been taken, and extensive technology has been incorporated, to ensure that the Aon’s can deliver a remarkably satisfying listening experience without the need for a separate subwoofer.
Aon models incorporate GoldenEar designed cast-basket bass/ midrange drivers with technology derived from the midrange units developed for the Tritons. In addition, they use the same extraordinary and costly High Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR™) high-frequency radiator used in the Tritons. Lastly, each Aon model utilizes two side mounted planar low-frequency radiators in a dynamically balanced configuration in order to properly load the bass/midrange drivers for an open, box-less midrange, while also contributing to the Aon’s remarkably extended bass for such small enclosures.
The Aon’s are of a truncated pyramidal construction, which results in significant performance advantages due to the non-parallel cabinet walls and the reduced baffle area around the tweeter. Aesthetically, the sleek, attractive pyramid-inspired shape combined with appealing design details including piano-gloss black end-caps, results in beautiful
speakers that are both elegant and distinctive.
