Parent Company of Paradigm and MartinLogan Buys GoldenEar From Audioquest

[gene]

Five years ago, GoldenEar Technology founder Sandy Gross announced his well-earned retirement from the audio business, alongside the bombshell revelation that he had sold his respected loudspeaker manufacturing firm to The Quest Group, parent company to Audioquest. Now GoldenEar has changed hands yet again, this time finding a home with PML Sound International, the parent company of Paradigm, Anthem, and MartinLogan. Effective January 1, 2025, GoldenEar will operate under its new identity as GoldenEar Studio Inc. According to PML, GoldenEar will continue its legacy of delivering premium audio experiences while benefiting from PML’s expertise in innovation, engineering, and manufacturing.

A loudspeaker company should be run by a group with expertise in designing and manufacturing loudspeakers, not a company selling exotic cables with questionable marketing claims. I'm very pleased to see the acquisition of GoldenEar by a very research and engineering driven firm like PML and look forward to seeing how their products evolve in the future as a result of this acquisition.

Will engineering-focused leadership unlock GoldenEar's full potential post-AudioQuest?

Golden Ear has been stagnate for a while, they really have not released any new products outside of the T66 and some subs. This could be a good opportunity to move ahead "beyond the socks" and speakers as tall as me. I am curious if they will move manufacturing back to Canada. That would be a huge plus.
