Keep the Box
We suggest you keep the shipping box or boxes for at least 30 days. It is actually a great idea to keep boxes for audio products for the life of the product.

The trucking company will contact you to schedule a convenient time to deliver the order. Please note that you must be present for delivery.
Visually inspect the box to make sure you see no signs of damage. If you notice any damage at all, take some pictures with your phone and make a note of them on the delivery receipt the driver will ask you to sign. If it is obvious that the product is damaged, please refuse the order and contact us immediately at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com.
Open your box as soon as possible and inspect the product for damage and contact us if you find anything wrong.

Please see the instructions below. We only accept returns for any product purchased directly from our website.

Is It Easy To Return An Item?
Yes, simply give us a call at 888.899.8776 or you can email our support team at support@audioadvice.com. Many times our team of experts can help figure out why the product might not be working like you expected and get things fixed over the phone, so don’t be surprised if we ask a few questions, we love troubleshooting!
If our tech help can not make you happy, we will email over a return shipping label with a Return Number.
Hopefully, you saved all of the original item’s box and packaging inserts. You will want to pack back up your return or exchange in the same way it came out of the original box. Once you have everything packaged correctly, tape the box on the top and bottom to assure it stays together. If Audio Advice shipped the item to you inside a second box, it's a good idea to use that same extra box to help prevent damage on its way back to us. To avoid it accidentally coming back to you, use a magic marker to cross out the old shipping label or just tear it off.
The return shipping label we send you will have our address on it, just make sure you take the box to the right shipper (UPS, FEDEX, or USPS) as per the label.
If you are close to one of our stores, please let us know if it is more convenient for you to return it to us directly. You will still need to get a return number by contacting us and shipping and/or restocking charges may apply.
When Will I See My Refund?
It usually takes around 7-14 days for the refund to show up on the payment method you used. We do inspect all returns for damage and accuracy of the item inside the box before issuing a refund. Some items may be subject to shipping and restocking fees.
Can I Exchange My Purchase For Something Different?
Sometimes those big speakers just don’t fit in the room or you might have bought a small subwoofer and later found out you’d love a bigger one. If you would like to make an exchange within 30 days of receiving your item, just give us a call at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com and we will help work out the details. Additional shipping charges and return costs may apply.
How Do I Cancel An Order?
If the item has already shipped out or is a special order item, it is not possible to cancel the order. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com to start the return process.
What If I Find Shipping Damage?
We need to know right away about any shipping damage. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com within 48 hours of your delivery so we can get the ball rolling on making things right. It’s very helpful to take some pictures and email them to us if possible.
Can I Refuse A Shipment?
You can, but unless the item is damaged, shipping and restocking fees will be deducted from your refund. If your item arrives damaged and you are lucky enough to be there, snap some quick pics and refuse the order. Then contact us so we can get a replacement on the way.
What Happens If My Order Is Defective?
This is actually pretty rare, most consumer electronics work fine out of the box 99.9% of the time. We’d like for you to contact us first by calling 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com so we can help get to the bottom of things. If your item is indeed defective during the first 30 days, we can usually exchange it for a new, replacement unit.
What About Service After 30 Days?
Audio Advice has a great relationship with all of our brands and can help you with warranty service by the brand after our 30-day guarantee period. Even after the warranty expires, we can arrange for service by the brand on products purchased from Audio Advice. Just call 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com.
How Do You Determine A Restocking Fee?
You may not believe it, but sometimes we receive items back that were put in the box with zero packaging and are completely destroyed or are missing many of the pieces that came with the item. We also track serial numbers and will get back different serial numbers. We’ve even seen different items than what we shipped out be returned. However, it’s very important to package your return properly so that nothing goes missing or gets damaged in shipping, which will result in a restocking fee or even no refund at all. If a product is opened and the market value of the product is reduced, then a restocking fee may be applied to the cost of restocking and the reduced market value of the product. The bottom line is if you treat us fairly, we will do the same.
Audio Advice strives to provide industry-leading support and service while also maintaining the lowest prices available on products for our customers. We work hard with our vendors to bring our customers the best products at each price point. As a part of that process, we work with our vendors to provide the lowest pricing in our stores and on our website.
Our prices should always be the same as any other authorized dealer, including big-box retailers and major online retailers.
If you believe that you have found a lower advertised price from a legitimate authorized seller, call us and let us know so we can make sure we can correct any inadvertent error on our side. As a matter of policy, we update our prices automatically if a vendor changes its authorized pricing policies, so we generally have the best prices all the time. Increasingly, there are knock-off copies of products online, usually sold by non-authorized dealers.
Please be sure that the item meets the following conditions:
- The item is brand new, in stock, and available for purchase
- The item has the identical model number, color, etc as the item on our site.
- The seller is an authorized dealer
As always, our goal is to provide a terrific customer experience, including industry low prices. We appreciate your support.
Overview
Monumental in Performance. Compact by Design.
The GoldenEar T44 is the newest addition to the celebrated T Series — a hybrid floorstanding loudspeaker purpose-built for discerning listeners who demand full-range performance in a smaller, more flexible footprint.
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 bottom-end, it delivers the kind of deep, articulate bass and soaring high frequencies that turn everyday listening into a high-fidelity escape.
Smaller Form Factor, Big Performance
Designed for modern living spaces, media rooms, and intimate listening environments — the T44 delivers room-filling sound without dominating the room.
Signature HVFR Tweeter
GoldenEar’s High-Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeter produces silky-smooth highs with ultra-fast transient response, revealing the finest nuances in music and film soundtracks.
Custom-Voiced Mid-Bass Driver
The single 4.5” 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 dialogue to life with stunning naturalness and depth.
Integrated Powered Bass Section
A single 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 subwoofer.
Acoustically Optimized Enclosure
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.
Lifestyle-Ready Footprint
At home in apartments, studios, or secondary listening zones, the T44 brings uncompromised fidelity to spaces where larger towers simply won’t fit.
Cast Aluminium Base
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.
Internal Harmony, External Brilliance
- Signature HVFR Tweeter: Smooth highs, fast transients, and wide dispersion for detailed, accurate high-frequency performance. Critically finessed wool felt on the mounting plate and elsewhere minimizes diffraction and bounce distortions.
- High Definition Mid-Range Driver: Precise imaging, natural tonality, and low distortion for lifelike midrange clarity.
- Custom Voiced Mid-Bass Driver: Tight, controlled mid-bass response with smooth integration and dynamic impact.
- Aluminium Grille: Acoustically transparent, rigid, and stylish with a modern curved design.
- Cast Aluminium Base: Cast aluminum base with outrigger spikes and pads ensures rock-solid stability and reduced resonance on any surface.
- Crossover and Internal Wiring: Precision crossover and high-purity internal wiring ensure seamless driver integration and signal integrity.
- Quadratic Planar Back-Wave-Driven Infrasonic Passive Radiator: Acoustically coupled to the subwoofers to deliver extended low-frequency response, improved low-frequency impact, and minimal distortion for surprisingly deep, well-controlled, room-filling bass.
- 5-Way Binding Posts with Bi-Wiring Support: Robust 5-way binding posts support bi-wiring, reducing interference and improving clarity and detail.
- Powerful, Efficient Amplifier: 500 W peak / 250 W RMS, 56-bit DSP-controlled amplifier delivers precise, powerful bass for the lower frequencies.
Engineered for Excellence
At the heart of the GoldenEar T44’s remarkable performance lies a suite of proprietary acoustic technologies, meticulously engineered to deliver unparalleled clarity, depth, and realism.
Hybrid Performance, the GoldenEar Way
The T66 and T44 aren’t just loudspeakers — they’re full-range, high-performance systems built around a hybrid design philosophy. By incorporating a powered bass section within each speaker, GoldenEar delivers deep, authoritative low-frequency response without burdening the amplifier.
This design takes a significant load off 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 the system — making them a perfect match even for lower-powered components, including tube amplifiers and compact integrated amps.
Making Room for More Possibilities
GoldenEar’s holistic approach to loudspeaker design ensures that every element — from crossover voicing and driver alignment to cabinet geometry and internal damping — works in concert to recreate the full emotional and spatial impact of music and film. This obsession with balance and integration is what gives GoldenEar loudspeakers their signature sense of realism and immersion.
The T44 carries that legacy forward in a form factor tailored for today’s living spaces. Every component has been carefully engineered to preserve the expansive dynamics, deep bass, and finely layered detail of the larger models — all within a cabinet that fits effortlessly into more compact environments. It’s proof that when design and engineering are in perfect sync, smaller can still sound spectacular. Downsizing, in this case, is simply making room for more possibilities.
The Result?
Effortless dynamics, seamless coherence from top to bottom, and full-range performance that outclasses traditional passive tower designs — all from a beautifully compact, easy-to-place loudspeaker.
