Description

I finally got around to hook up the trio's. A totally different sound compared to my 20T's. I can't really say better or worse. The trio's need more burning in and adjustments, before I'll pass judgements. Electronics in use, are not my best, due to restrictions in space and to small rack Thank you hifi enthusiasts.

I'd upgrade the preamp first.

Pretty darn nice system you've got going there. I'm not sure what you consider to be "limited funds", but if your looking to upgrade, I think you will get more out of your awesome speakers with an amp / preamp upgrade. Maybe consider some high powered tube monoblocks (VTL, ARC, Conrad Johnson, Atmasphere) or a Class A SS amp (Plinius SA 250).

Preamp considerations:
ARC Ref 1 or 2, LS 25MKII
Conrad Johnson 16LS
Aesthetix Calypso
Lamm LL2 Deluxe (not sure if this is the correct model)

I'm holding off on my next upgrade until I have "adequate" funds to make a noticeable difference.
