Hi guys, any thoughts negative or positive on these; my Aussie dealer is offering me a great price on a pair.
Great reviews on Tape Op, Mix on line, SOS etc but Ive been burnt by reviewers opinions before.
I live miles away from cities so can't check them out even though I was in both Melbourne and Sydney specifically for speaker listening recently; somehow these slipped through the net and I didn't hear them .
Heard the SM9s, Be Twins , Shape 50 (which were a nicely homogenous speaker), Shape 65 , Shape twins . I
liked the "sound" of the Be line. hence the heightened Trio interest.
Just chewing things over and looking for real world reports.
Cheers, Ross

Is your room big enough to truly support a 3 way monitor ?

That's a fair question K Catt - it's not strictly a quality room such as these probably deserve but if they sound truly great and revealing at any and all levels then I'm happy - the focus mode appeals as does the deeper bottom than small nearfields which offers insight into the bottom end when required and obviates constant checking on cans or dicking around with subs.
I've had Event ASP8 ,Neumann kh120, Amphion 1 x15 over the years and they've all had aspects that didn't work for me and yes I'd prefer to get something way cheaper but these would appear to have most bases covered.
I work with mainly acoustic music with bass and drums as required (think America etc)
Other options I liked were Shape 50s which would need a sub and Eve SC 305 which I worry may sound too nice and not actually reveal .
Any other thoughs are greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Ross

Understood, I just got a re-packed Emotiva small amp and a pair of b1 monitors for a little over $400 usd and am very pleased.
Adam will be releasing it’s new sub woofer soon for $399 list

We have the Trio-6Be in our demo space. Our demo space is small in size and in-no-way-shape-or-form, a built out control room. But these speakers are remarkable to our staff and customers. I have sold a few sets of these monitors to engineers in small rooms without any complaints. Since you can try them in horizontal or vertical, by rotating the Tweet-Mid Module, it widens the playing field of usability. They are very special sounding monitors. Lot of separation and definition to the midrange and really nice bottom end. Tons of power. they do go very loud, which is where you might have problems with your room. But since the image and depth is wide and deep, you can use them quietly to great results. Any speaker played loud will give you room issues, unless otherwise dealt with.
anyway, the Trio's have a very atmospheric sound to them. I like them a whole lot.
