A admin Audioholics Robot Staff member Apr 16, 2004 172 0 0 Nov 14, 2012 #1 Angel City Audio showed off their new Trinity LR speakers at the 2012 Audioholics Get Together event. This is a left/right bookshelf model which has a frequency response of 30Hz - 35kHz and a sensitivity of 90dB @ 1w/m. They are about 16" deep but there is also a Trinity Center model that has a slightly reduced frequency response. It plays down to around 55Hz, but it's also reduced in depth (to just 12") so you can better place it on its side as a center channel. Now the great thing about these speakers is that you can combine them in a 2-channel, 3-point, 5-point or whatever type of system you want. The LR can disperse evenly enough to be used as a center, or you can grab the Center model for that. Or you could use a whole system of the Center model if you want something a bit smaller in depth all-around and you plan to use a subwoofer to fill in the missing low end.

Also coming from the Salk room could have also spoiled you a bit Reactions: Hugh-Melody

I wish you'd said something then we'd put something else in there. May be next time. Thanks, gene said: Might have been my fault for bringing them a progressive rock CD that sounded like crap.

Until then, I shall reserve judgement on the speakers. I can say that they were very comely in a piano black.

I think because of room issues they were a little bit more source-material dependent than usual. I brought acoustic treatments but they were hardly effective against such large walls. We were definitely exciting a bit of an upper-midrange resonance in the room that caused them to sound harsh with some material. With other music it sounded normal. The description is accurate though. They are dynamic and "live" sounding. It's great for realism, but in a live room you can run into problems. Hopefully you'll get another chance to check them out.
