Audiovector Trapeze Reimagined Loudspeaker
As the name suggests, the Audiovector Trapeze Reimagined is a reboot of the company’s original “Trapez” loudspeaker from 45 years ago. Also, as the name suggests, the Danish floorstanding loudspeaker has a trapezoidal cabinet. It has nothing whatsoever to do with circuses.
The Trapeze Reimagined is a short three-way design. It uses a 12-inch high-power mid/bass driver with an eight-inch driver in a configuration Audiovector calls “Isobaric Compound Bass” loading. This is met by a five-inch high-speed midrange, and an Air Motion Transformer tweeter specifically designed for this loudspeaker.
Unlike “frozen in time” designs such as the evergreen BBC LS3/5a, the Trapeze Reimagined is not a carbon copy of the original. However, the waist-high family resemblance to that loudspeaker, which wowed Scandiwegian audiophiles of the late 1970s, is unmistakable. The Trapez was Audiovector’s second design, but it was its first big success.
