Avantgarde Acoustic
TRIO G3
The Trio G3 is Avantgarde Acoustic's German horn-loaded flagship loudspeaker system, built around three redesigned spherical-horn modules — tweeter, midrange, and midbass — mounted on a substantial tripod base with no conventional cabinet (source: [The Audio Beat](https://www.theaudiobeat.com/equipment/avantgarde_trio_g3.htm)). It can be run fully passively with an external amplifier, or converted to an active configuration using Avantgarde's proprietary iTron current-drive amplification, which integrates a three-channel amplifier and active crossover directly into each horn array; the system is typically paired with Avantgarde's SpaceHorn horn-loaded subwoofers for full-range bass extension (source: [The Audio Beat](https://www.theaudiobeat.com/equipment/avantgarde_trio_g3.htm), [Auditorium](https://www.auditorium.de/en/speakers/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/avantgarde-acoustic-trio-g3-active-3-way-horn-system-with-itron)).
