What size room are the Dynaudio Emit M30 and GoldenEar Triton Seven speakers good for?

The size of the room in which you are planning to use these loudspeakers is an important decision factor. Here we have compared their suitability to various sizes of environments considering their size and max power parameters:

Listening Environment* Dynaudio Emit M30 GoldenEar Triton Seven
Near-field Bad Bad
Small Room Poor Poor
Mid-size Room Good Average
Large Room Good Good
Very Large Room Poor Average

(* Approximate Room sizes: Small < 100sq. ft / 9 m2, Mid-size: 100-220 sq. ft / 9-20 m2, Large 220-400 sq. ft / 20-36 m2, Very Large: > 400 sq. ft / 36 m2. Average Floor Height: 9" / 2.7m. Typical room sizes differ from country to country, and the actual listening experience changes depending on floor height, room shape, surface materials, listening position, speaker locations, etc.)

In the following sections, we will get into more detail in order to better understand how the Dynaudio Emit M30 and GoldenEar Triton Seven compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one of these loudspeakers is the better choice for you.

Woofer 2 x 6.6875-inch 2 x 5.25-inch

Emit M30 features a 1.1" Tweeter and 2 x 6.6875" Magnesium Silicate Polymer Woofer . On the other hand, the Triton Seven features a " Folded Ribbon Tweeter and 2 x 5.25" Polypropylene Woofer .

Frequency Response

Emit M30 has a frequency range of 40-23k Hz whereas Triton Seven has a frequency range of 29-35k Hz. With a minimum frequency of 29Hz, the Triton Seven can go significantly deeper on the low side and provide stronger bass compared to the Emit M30's min frequency of 40Hz.

Below graphs depict how these two speakers compare with the max, min and average values of the Min and Max Frequencies of other speakers in the Floor-standing class in our database.

None of these speakers achieves full range experience which is commonly agreed as 20Hz-20kHz. In order to achieve lower lows / deeper bass, we recommend you pair these with a subwoofer. Visit our Powered Subwoofers section to find out more about the available options.

Impedance and Sensitivity

Emit M30 is a 4 ohms speaker compared to the Triton Seven which has a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. Lower impedance speakers, especially the ones that are rated at 4 ohms may put more pressure on the amplifier unit especially when played at high volume levels, so make sure the amp you pair with the Emit M30 can provide this impedance level.

These two speakers also have different sensitivity levels. Emit M30 sensitivity is rated at 86 dB and the Triton Seven's is rated at 89 dB. This 3 dB difference makes the GoldenEar Triton Seven a more sensitive speaker compared to Dynaudio Emit M30, hence will play louder with the same amount of watts.

Power Range

Power range is the range of input power in watts RMS that a loudspeaker is designed to handle. While using an amplifier within this range ensures the nominal performance , inputting a power that is higher than the max wattage can result in a damaged speaker.

Emit M30 can handle a max power of 300 watts RMS from the amp the whereas Emit M30 has a max power handling value of 200 watts RMS , 100 watts less than the Triton Seven.

Keep in mind that a higher max power handling value doesn't necessarily make that a louder speaker compared to a lower max handling speaker. Loudness or the sound level is also impacted by parameters such as Impedance, sensitivity and system efficiencies.

Input Type and Bi-Amping / Bi-Wiring

Emit M30 features 5-way Post type posts and Triton Seven has a 5-way Post type posts. None of these speakers feature bi-amping/bi-wiring.

Physical Specs

Size of a speaker can sometimes become an important decision factor due to space constraints or in some cases purely for esthetic reasons. In this section, we are going to compare Dynaudio Emit M30's and GoldenEar Triton Seven's external dimensions. Dynaudio Emit M30 has external dimensions of 961.0 x 205.0 x 296.0mm ( 37-13/16 x 8-1/16 x 11-5/8inch) whereas GoldenEar Triton Seven has external dimensions of 1029.0 x 267.0 x 369.0mm ( 40-1/2 x 10-1/2 x 14-1/2inch) .

GoldenEar Triton Seven is clearly the larger of the two speakers. Its body is 62mm wider, 68mm taller and 73mm deeper than Dynaudio Emit M30.

Base Surface Area Comparison
Base surface area of a loudspeaker may become a determining factor when the space in your room or desk is limited. The base surface area of the Dynaudio Emit M30 is approximately 606.8cm2 / 94.1inch2 and base area of the GoldenEar Triton Seven is approximately 985.2cm2 / 152.7inch2. The Emit M30 requires 38% less surface area than the Triton Seven which gives it a small advantage on placement in tight spaces.

Weight Comparison

The weight of a loudspeaker can become an important factor if you need to move and reposition the unit often. Weight of a speaker can also "sometimes" be an indicator of the rigidity of the enclosure and the quality of the internal components used. The Dynaudio Emit M30 weighs 18.18kg / 40lbs and the GoldenEar Triton Seven weighs 14.55kg / 32lbs. This makes the Emit M30 25% heavier than the Triton Seven.

Here is a comparison of how Emit M30 and Triton Seven's weights compare with the average, max and min weights in Passive Floor-standing class.
