The Avantgarde Acoustic Trio is a large, three-way, high-efficiency spherical-horn loudspeaker system from the German manufacturer Avantgarde Acoustic. The name covers several generations, including the original Trio/Trio Compact, Trio G2/Classico XD, and the current Trio G3. It uses separate horn-loaded low-midrange, midrange, and treble sections, with the satellite typically intended to be paired with an active Avantgarde subwoofer for full-range reproduction below approximately 100 Hz. The current Trio G3 remains an active product in the manufacturer’s lineup; earlier Trio generations are no longer current and are generally available only as used or archived products. Specifications below identify the relevant generation where data differ.
