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.
Hi Cappuccino, Thank you. I really like the Aerials due to their fantastic presence and ability to reproduce human voices. Their thight and powerful low end another great feature. Trio's seem to have slightly "bigger" soundstage and more forward tonal characteristics, without putting a strain on my ears. The "Sweet spot" is not as defined as they are with the Aerials. I think both have a similar holographic sound. It is going to be hard to decide what to keep.
Yes, I am a fan of acoustic music, so maybe the trio's will surprise me positively. I reckon the 4 subs will povide loads of control and slam i the lower region. I am hoping to start packing down the 20T's tomorrow. Time will tell if they ever gets unpacked again. To be continued...
Cpk, Thanks for your input. There are hope in the near future, It looks like I might move house soon. I will then get my own designated listening room. Jippi. Really looking forward to compare the 20T's vs Avantgarde Trio's.
Thank you Cappucino. Thats right. A60 for the head and Bryston for bass. I definitely got a more thight bass and more "air" in the midrange. I really like the A60. Both for build quality and it's musicality.
Glenfihi, Unfortunately I am somewhat resticted in my living room space. Tried to improve system by replacing the rack. Headphones are definately something I am considering.
Thank you for your advice. In your opinion, where would I get the most improvement. changing the pre or the power?. At this point i can only afford one or the other. I have to say I feel that the power amp is a very capable one. I will spend some time and check out reviews and prizes on your suggested gear. Thank you again.
