![]() The Trio 15TB (Tang Band) was quite pleasant, so here is another look at the speaker, this time with an upgraded Leonidas crossover and Voxativ AC-1.6 5” full range drivers. Only the best stuff gets another go round. Increasingly through the years my time is tight for reviews and if a product is merely good I’m not highly motivated to consider a follow up review. It is significant that I am following up on the Trio15 speaker line. But, that is precisely what has happened.” I didn’t expect this one to perform at such a level that, from the get-go, it has to be included among the very best I have used. I always knew that as I am a System Builder I would need to explore single driver speakers. I’m still wrapping my head around this development it’s forcing a paradigm shift in my audio worldview. I have to toss away my preconception that single driver speakers are more convoluted and less articulate than multi-driver speakers. In a nearer field setup, the Trio15 Voxativ is second to none in refinement, something I would not have predicted. These perceived drawbacks are both removed by the Trio15 Voxativ, and my ear tells me I am hearing a caliber of sound as legitimate as full range multi-driver dynamic speakers, big ESLs, line source designs, and omnidirectional speakers. I also didn’t like the hulking cabinets and the coloration those cabinets contribute to the sound. I had summarily dismissed single driver speakers over the years as inherently incapable of achieving the experience I want, mostly because of their limited frequency response. I could take an hour to discuss this – and I will in my –-but just as one immediately sees and feels the difference between a sport sedan and a supercar, so also my ears hear the intensity, the focus, and the brilliance of design of the Trio15 Voxativ.įrankly, this speaker is causing me to reconsider my conclusions regarding premium sound. With the Voxativ there is a leap upward in terms of the refinement, the characteristics associated with the most beguiling systems. I didn’t expect this experience, and it has caused me to reconsider what top end sound is about. “I have been blindsided by the beauty of the Trio15 Voxativ. Some time ago, after I had a chance to do some critical listening to the PureAudioProject Trio15 Voxativ, the company asked me to comment on the sound.
