for the Trio


I make the review brief as English is not my mother language.

I have had quite a lot of high-end speakers. I enjoyed most of them. But, here, the situation is drastically different. It is not really a speaker : from the viewpoint of sound, it is just like the real event, from the viewpoint of design, it is more a work of art !
Everything is just perfect. It just sounds like live music.
You can drive them to incredibly loud levels with a 10 WpC amplifier (the efficiency is close to 110 dB !!) and enjoy a so delicate sound a low levels …
I cannot find any drawback. I cannot find anything they don’t to just right. Either classical or rock, everything sounds just real.

Of course, it is expensive. Obviously. But there is a kind of trend that speakers contenders to be « best of the World » have to reach incredible prices. Maybe 200 000 $, or 300 000 $ or event 500 000 $ ! This one is expensive but not crazily expensive. And to my ears they are indeed the best. I like the sound as an audiophile but I also appreciate the design and engineering as an astrophysicist.

People at Avantgarde are extremely nice. This is a small, "human" company. They make superb speakers. I plan to keep this one a lifetime. It just fulfills all my hopes, and beyond.


Product Weakness: Will make you find all other speaker a bit ... ridiculous :-)
Product Strengths: Perfect sound. Huge sensitivity. Magnificent design.
