Audiovector Trapeze Reimagined
A NEW ANGLE ON AUDIO PERFECTION
In 1979 Ole Klifoth launched the Trapeze. In doing so, he created the blueprint for all Audiovector speakers to come – including the pioneering focus on linear dynamics and linear phase through a true 6 dB per octave crossover. Fast forward 45 years and the new Trapeze Reimagined is based on the same principles as the original heritage model. And brought up to date with the very best, most innovative technology available.
A homage to the company’s very first loudspeaker. The embodiment of our passion, innovation, and love of music. And quite simply, a thing of beauty. A 3-way floor standing design, the Trapeze Reimagined features a proprietary 12-inch high-power mid/bass driver. A 5-inch-high speed midrange. And the only AMT-tweeter on the market that stays true to the original design from audio genius Dr. Oscar Heil.
The three drivers combine to achieve an even power, flat frequency response to match the famous Brûel & Kjaer ideal room response. A diffraction absorbing felt area around the treble and midrange drivers helps to create a rare and natural soundstage: prepare to be transported to the atmospheric heart of a live event. The low frequency tuning adds weight and drama to any music.
The extremely low distortion of the bass driver allows unusually natural and dynamic vocals as well as a beautifully rich sound without boom or bloom that just sounds so right. No problems with bass, midrange, or treble. Just an open, rich, musical, and rhythmic reproduction of all kinds of music in all kinds of settings.

Deep, agile bass and a big, easy drive define the Trapeze Reimagined, with reviewers from What Hi-Fi?, hi-fi+ and HomeTheaterHifi praising its punch, clarity and scale. The AMT treble and natural midrange keep things refined, while the trapezoid cabinet adds visual drama and serious engineering savvy.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Delivers deep, punchy bass with strong agility and control, not boom or bloat.

Offers impressive dynamics and can play very loud without sounding strained.
Build quality and finish are widely described as premium, rigid, and carefully executed.

Cons
Stereo imaging is good, but several reviewers say it could be more expansive or sharper.
The tonal balance can lean toward the lower registers, with some softened attack and slightly less snappy transients.
The optional Freedom Grounding cable is effective, but costly.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 88/100
Reviewers describe a speaker that is lively, coherent, and musically engaging, with a strong sense of drive and an easy, non-fatiguing overall character. The best comments praise its combination of detail, bass authority, and rhythmic energy, while a few reviews also note that it can sound a bit softened in places and is not the last word in pinpoint sharpness or absolute neutrality.
Bass
92/100
The bass is widely praised for being deep, fast, and punchy, with real weight and control. Reviewers call it 'deep enough' for organ and synth, 'meaty' and 'chewy,' and say it delivers chest-thumping power without boom or bloat, while also remaining agile and tuneful. A few comments note room- and setup-sensitivity and suggest the overall balance leans a little toward the lower registers.
Mid
85/100
The midrange is generally described as clean, natural, and musically convincing, with good coherence through the crossover region. Reviewers praise the cello, piano body, and vocal presence, but one review calls the midrange somewhat weak and mentions some excessive resonance, so it is not presented as uniformly outstanding.
Treble
86/100
The top end is usually presented as detailed, refined, and non-fatiguing, helped by the AMT tweeter’s speed and low distortion. That said, several reviews qualify the treble with comments about less-snappy leading edges, some obscured low-level detail at high levels, and a slightly soft character on transients, so it is clearly good rather than dazzlingly crisp.
Soundstage Imaging
85/100
The Trapeze Reimagined throws a believable, often wide and deep stage, and several reviewers praise its imaging and 3D presentation. Even so, others note that it is not as expansive or immediately precise as the best smaller speakers, and that depth in particular could be more open.
Dynamics
90/100
Dynamics are a major strength, with repeated praise for punch, scale, and the ability to play loudly without strain. Reviewers describe an infectious rhythmic bounce, strong SPL handling, and a composed presentation that keeps its energy and cohesion even during demanding passages.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
87/100
Reviewers describe a solid, premium-feeling cabinet with substantial internal bracing and carefully executed finishing. They also mention crisp edges, neat detailing around the drivers and terminals, and attractive veneer options, though the comments stop short of suggesting truly exceptional construction.
Value for Money
88/100
The reviews present the Trapeze Reimagined as expensive, but also as a speaker that competes confidently in a crowded high-end field. Several writers imply it justifies its asking price through its fun factor, scale, and overall musicality, and one notes that you would struggle to find better at the price.
