Re: Small Avantgarde Trio unboxing
Are these the new XD Trios? Regardless, you're in for a thrill. Could be destination speakers!

Re: Small Avantgarde Trio unboxing
The trio with the bass horns is my favorite speaker. How do your subs differ?

For now we're trying to set up the whole system in one perfect organism ;-) Bass modules aren't so quick like basshorns, but we're working on it Originally Posted by bonzo

Re: Small Avantgarde Trio unboxing
It's just my opinion, but I always thought the TRIOS sounded more cohesive and musically involving with the tweeter on the inside - especially if near a wall. Not being there, I could be wrong, so it's only a thought.

If they are outside they reflect more on the side walls, as opposed to inside

Re: Small Avantgarde Trio unboxing
A few sets of Trios that I sold 15 years ago. The third pic was my demo system that I lived with from 2000 to 2008.....
Note the position of the tweeters on all, but I have seen and heard systems with the tweeters on the outside. Best way to know for sure is to try them both ways - tweeters in or tweeters out.

Re: Small Avantgarde Trio unboxing
Small change in position (now tweeters are on the inside) and big improvement in sound - now is much more cohesive and better cooperate with HPA 105 bass modules

You should ask your dealer to bring the CH stuff he wants to sell you for home audition in your system. IMO there is no way to tell what will sound better in your system.
