Nominal Impedance of the 4 Ohms means that the GoldenEar T66 is a difficult to drive speaker from nominal Impedance perspective, make sure that you choose an amplifier than can provide 4 Ohms for this speaker.
Many AVRs (audio/video receiver) in the market may have difficulty when the speakers dip below the 4 Ohms levels (this may cause clipping or even physical damage), so we recommend to not pair the GoldenEar T66 with an AVR but use an Integrated Amplifier instead.

Sensitivity

91dB of the GoldenEar T66 is considered a high sensitivity compared to average stereo speaker which makes T66 an easy to drive from Sensitivity perspective. If you are planning to power your speaker with a Tube amp which are generally very low power, the GoldenEar T66 will be a good choice.

Recommended Accessories

Here is a list of accessories that we think you may need for the GoldenEar T66.

  • Speaker Cable and Connectors
    • Speaker Cables with Banana Plugs: If you know the lenght of the cable you need, this is the easier option to connect your speakers with your amp.
    • Speaker Cables without Connectors: If you are not sure about the lenght or need longer than standard cables with plugs, choose this option.
    • Banana Connectors and Plugs: If you chose the cables without connectors option or already have some cable around, pick the banana plugs separately.
  • Vibration Isolators: IsoAcoustics isolators more affordable options too.
  • Acoustic Panels and Treatments: Your room is as important as your stereo equipment so acoustic treatments goes a long way in improving the overall performance.

5 Years of parts warranty and 5 Years of labor warranty is generally provided by the manufacturer.
