Golden Ear - Super Centre X Centre Speaker Review

In this Golden Ear - Super Centre X - Centre Speaker Review, we delve into the engineering marvel that transforms ordinary dialogue into spine-tingling cinematic clarity. As the pivotal fulcrum of your home theatre system, this centre channel speaker delivers a breathtakingly immersive experience from a compact, award-winning design.

Advanced Acoustic Design

The heart of the Super Centre X is its D’Appolito array, featuring two 5-1/4” long-throw bass/mid drivers for symmetrical dispersion and seamless tonal balance across the critical midrange. Combined with GoldenEar’s signature High Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR) tweeter, music and movie scores are rendered with extended frequency response up to 35 kHz and vanishingly low distortion.

Quadratic Planar Radiator for Deep Bass

Featuring a top-mounted pressure-coupled quadratic planar low-frequency radiator, the Super Centre X delivers authoritative bass down to 45 Hz without the need for a larger cabinet. This innovative design provides ideal acoustic loading and damping, producing tight, impactful low frequencies that ground even the most explosive soundtracks.

Seamless System Integration

Voiced to complement GoldenEar’s Triton towers and Aon bookshelf speakers, the Super Centre X maintains a cohesive sonic signature throughout your setup. With a nominal impedance of 8 Ω and 90 dB efficiency, it effortlessly pairs with amplifiers from 20 W to 200 W per channel, ensuring ample headroom for dynamic peaks.

Refined Aesthetic and Mounting Flexibility

Measuring a sleek 20” (50.8 cm) wide and weighing just 7 kg, the Super Centre X fits neatly on cabinets, wall units or bespoke shelving. A minimal clearance of one to two inches above the speaker is all that’s needed to unleash its full potential, preserving a clean, streamlined installation.

Audiophile-Calibre Performance

Whether capturing a hushed whisper or a thunderous orchestral swell, the Super Centre X delivers fine-grained detail and authoritative drive. GoldenEar’s multi-vaned phase plugs reduce diffraction in the bass/mid drivers, while the HVFR tweeter offers crisp, airy highs that never fatigue. The result is a wide, open soundstage where every nuance is heard.
