Pros
Deep, punchy and unusually agile bass combines real low-frequency weight with tight control.
Plays at high levels with impressive dynamic authority, composure and minimal sense of strain.
Cohesive, detailed presentation with natural midrange clarity and a refined, non-peaky treble.
Cons
Soundstage width and out-of-the-box imaging are less expansive than the best smaller alternatives.
Bass-forward balance can overwhelm smaller rooms or bass-heavy recordings without careful amplifier and room matching.
Optional Freedom Grounding cable adds a significant extra cost.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 92/100
The Trapeze Reimagined is widely praised as a powerful, full-range and highly musical speaker with unusually fast, weighty bass, strong dynamic expression and a cohesive presentation. Its character leans warm and bass-forward rather than strictly neutral, while a few listeners found the midrange somewhat recessed or resonant and the imaging less expansive than the best compact alternatives.
Bass
97/100
Bass is the standout: reviewers repeatedly describe it as deep, powerful, agile and exceptionally well controlled. HomeTheaterHifi heard tuneful, natural low frequencies with no boom or bloat and no practical need for a subwoofer, while The Absolute Sound praised its rare combination of depth, speed, energy and slam.
Mid
91/100
Several reviewers found the midrange clear, natural and low in coloration, with convincing instrumental tone and strong separation through busy arrangements. There are meaningful reservations, however: SoundStage Solo heard some midrange weakness and excess resonance, while Tech Reviews noted that vocals could lose some upper-register energy.
Treble
88/100
The AMT tweeter is generally described as detailed, refined and free of obvious harshness, with hi-fi+ specifically calling it detailed but never peaky. Ecoustics found it precise rather than overtly smooth and occasionally analytical on bright recordings, while SoundStage Solo reported softened leading edges and some lost low-level detail when music became dense.
Soundstage Imaging
90/100
Reviews consistently praise secure image placement, convincing depth and a believable three-dimensional presentation. Ecoustics and What Hi-Fi? both note a limitation in ultimate lateral spread and out-of-the-box staging, although the image between the cabinets remains notably focused and stable.
Dynamics
94/100
The Trapeze Reimagined is repeatedly commended for playing loudly with ease, composure and substantial physical punch. What Hi-Fi? found it unstressed at near-club levels, while Ecoustics and HomeTheaterHifi heard effortless crescendos, high-SPL cohesion and serious chest-hitting impact.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
93/100
The cabinet is described as rigid, heavily braced and beautifully finished, with premium veneer, crisp detailing and a classy terminal panel. Reviewers also highlight the substantial HDF or high-density hardwood construction, carefully executed driver mounting and distinctive Danish industrial design.
Value for Money
91/100
At roughly $19,950 per pair, £15,500 or €17,000, this is a costly loudspeaker competing in a crowded high-end field. Even so, SoundStage Solo says it holds its own confidently, while The Absolute Sound argues that listeners seeking fun and energy will struggle to find better at the price; hi-fi+ also suggests it can remain satisfying alongside considerably more expensive electronics.

Manufacturer's Description — Audiovector
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.
