One size will never fit all and no speaker system at this price level will please all purchasers. But anybody shopping for speakers in the €150,000 price range shouldn’t ignore the AvantGarde Trio G3 (in any of its various configurations). At the very least, it will show you just exactly what so much of the competition doesn’t do!
