I wrote very nice things in WBF about the Trio's long before Jacob Heilbrunn referred to them. I have an open mind about good speakers, every one has equal possibility of making a true prediction.
More than twenty years ago I considered building an active system using the Trio units, Bottlehead SET amplifiers and a Marchand crossover, but in the end I considered that buying the SoundLab A1PX was more realistic.
