PML Sound International Acquires GoldenEar

PML Sound International, parent company to brands like Paradigm, Anthem, and MartinLogan, has announced that the company will acquire GoldenEar. Effective January 1, 2025, the brand will be known as the new identity, GoldenEar Studio Inc.

To ensure a smooth transition, PML says that GoldenEar will temporarily pause business operations from January 1, 2025, through January 31, 2025. During this period, GoldenEar orders will not be processed or fulfilled. PML’s business operations will remain unaffected, and the company says it will continue to deliver “high-quality audio products and customer service.”

While operations will temporarily pause during the integration, PML assures that existing warranties and service support will be honoured. Official business will resume on February 3, 2025.

The Quest Group, which acquired GoldenEar in 2020, has released a statement on the new acquisition. 

“When The Quest Group acquired GoldenEar, we did so because we felt a strong kinship with the brand — a shared passion for delivering outstanding performance and exceptional value, making beautiful sound more readily available to audio/video enthusiasts around the world. 

This proved true in ways we couldn’t have imagined at the time. Perhaps most notably, the wonderful T66 floorstanders garnered raves from a diverse group of trusted publications — The Audiophiliac, CEPro, Darko.Audio, Digital Trends, HiFi News, Sound & Vision, Stereophile, and Twittering Machines, among many others — and were recently named The Absolute Sound’s Mid-Priced Loudspeaker of 2025.

Under our stewardship, GoldenEar products have been introduced to new markets and met with enthusiasm. We’ve made subtle but meaningful refinements to key aspects of the brand’s design while honoring its esteemed history. We launched exciting new products that made their ways into the hearts and homes of enthusiasts around the world. 

While we expect to watch with admiration as PML delivers on the promise of GoldenEar Studio, AudioQuest remains as focused as ever on our key competencies — nurturing strong relationships, providing exceptional service and support, and developing the world’s greatest cables, power products, and audio/video accessories.”
