Avantgarde Acoustic Trio G3 icm Twin Drive Spacehorns

There are speakers that play music. And there are speakers that reconstruct the physical presence of a musical performance in the listening room. The Avantgarde Acoustic Trio G3 with Twin SpaceHorns undoubtedly belongs to that latter category.

 

Since its introduction, the Trio has been considered one of the most iconic horn systems in the world. In the third generation, Avantgarde has further refined the concept with new drivers, improved horn geometries and advanced active layer technology. The result is a system that approaches the directness, speed and dynamics of live music at an almost unparalleled level.

 

Central are the three imposing spherical horns for high, middle and low-middle. Thanks to their extremely high efficiency, the drivers work almost without effort, leaving distortion exceptionally low and even the smallest musical nuances completely preserved. Voices get an almost tangible presence, instruments are placed with stunning scale and dynamic contrasts are displayed with a ease that traditional speakers can hardly approach.

 

The addition of the Twin SpaceHorns takes the system to an even higher level. These huge active bass modules are not simply a subwoofer, but an integral part of the overall system. Thanks to the long horn construction, powerful built-in reinforcement and extensive DSP control, a layer display is created that is both deep and incredibly fast and controlled.

 

What makes the Trio G3 so special is that it doesn't sound like a speaker. Music is created effortlessly and completely separate from the physical systems. The sound image has a scale, tranquility and dynamic freedom that reminiscent of a live version rather than a conventional hi-fi installation.

 

Despite its impressive dimensions, the Trio remains surprisingly easy to control. Thanks to a sensitivity well above 100 dB, he is an ideal partner for high-quality single-ended tube amplifiers from brands like Kondo, Audio Note UK, NAT or Thrax, but also with the best transistor amplifiers he delivers performance of world-class absolutes.

 

At Highender we consider the Trio G3 with Twin SpaceHorns one of the most impressive speaker systems ever built. A uncompromising design for the music lover who is not looking for a speaker, but for an experience that comes as close to a live performance as possible.

 

This isn't audio equipment anymore.

 

Dit is muziek op ware grootte.
