Welcome to the world’s most exhilarating, uncompromising, natural and by far the most extraordinary speaker system, the Trio.

The unique Trio.
Unique because its indescribable sound takes the listener straight to a place where the mundane is forgotten. World off. Music on.

The Trio is a 3-way ultra high performance horn system. With an efficiency of 109dB/W/m, it is Avantgarde’s most powerful and therefore distortion-free loudspeaker.

In the G3 version of the TRIO, we have taken the bionic horn principle to the extreme. Powerful horn performance through unbridled efficiency across a huge frequency range.

Combined with the SpaceHorn – the latest evolution of our legendary BassHorn – for a unique and overwhelming sonic experience. Expandable with iTRON fully active modules, our patented Game Changer technology, where we directly control the acceleration of the diaphragms through a perfectly orchestrated current flow.

All the electronics are housed in easily replaceable technology modules. So you can easily expand or upgrade your system years down the line.

PASSIVE VERSION.

The passive version is designed to be used with external hi-fi amplifiers.
With an efficiency of 109dB/W/m and an impedance of 27 ohms, the speaker is extremely easy to operate and ideal for low-power amplifiers. The ideal speaker for the world’s finest high-end amplifiers.

iTRON VERSION.

In the iTRON version, the amplifiers are built into the speaker, eliminating the need for external power amplifiers. To achieve this, we have developed an electronic system that is based on a fundamentally different operating principle to any of the conventional amplifiers on the market. We are the first manufacturer in the world to achieve what was previously thought to be an impossible technological feat. For a sound that is simply heavenly.

Each model has a replaceable technology module that connects to the loudspeaker via a multi-pin power connector. This makes it easy to upgrade the passive speaker with iTRON technology at a later date.

It can be upgraded to the most advanced digital technology available at the time, even after many years.

This ensures the sustainability of your investment for generations to come.

Extraordinary, unique, straightforward.

Even as a shadowy silhouette, instantly recognisable as TRIO.

And it has been for over 30 years.

A speaker that communicates a clear brand promise through its appearance.

A speaker as visually stunning as its sound.

The frame of the tweeter unit is a flat aluminium profile with internal concealed cable routing. The 35-degree cantilever breaks up the vertical lines to create a progressive silhouette.

The smallest of the three spherical wave horns is thus emphasized in the visual perception.

The 35-degree angle of the cantilever arms, typical of the design, makes the speaker appear to float above the floor.

The actual adjustable feet, or optional spikes, are concealed beneath the foot frame. The special spike mount made of solid aluminium forms an extremely stable composite structure with the foot frame to prevent vibration and oscillation.

With our spheric-dome diaphragm, AirGate technology and PolarizationPlus circuit, we have developed the most innovative technological concepts in our passive crossover.

These are completed with the highest quality components available. Our new NatureCap is an extremely complex capacitor, handmade in Germany. The electrodes are made from precision-rolled aluminium foil, rather than ultra-thin plastic film vaporized with aluminium. The dielectric is a cellulose fibre compound impregnated with organic oils. The NatureCap is approximately 25 times larger than the previous XD series capacitors and is securely mounted to the circuit board using specially manufactured brackets.
