What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- Audiovector has a unique upgrade path where customers can return their speakers to be upgraded to a higher specification (Signature, Avantgarde, or Arreté), even across product generations.
- A key feature of Audiovector's higher-end models is the Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter, prized for its expansive dispersion, low distortion, and ability to convey high-frequency detail.
- The brand employs "Freedom Grounding Concept," an optional grounding system that aims to reduce distortion caused by motional feedback in the driver units.
- Audiovector speakers often feature a multi-faceted approach to cabinet construction, such as non-parallel walls, specific damping materials, and tear-drop shapes, to minimize internal standing waves and resonances.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "High-frequency reproduction with the R3 Arretés is exceptionally open, extended, and non-fatiguing, thanks, no doubt, to the Heil tweeter. The nuances of the drummer's cymbal work on Shelby Lynne's "Just a Little Lovin" were exquisitely detailed; with choral recordings, sibilants were not nearly as distracting as they often are." (https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/audiovector-r3-arrete-loudspeaker)
- "Transient speed was exceptional, as heard on a CD of Indonesian gamelan music recorded by Wayne Vitale ( Music of Bali, Lyrichord LYRCD 7408)— metallophones of various sizes, struck with mallets with amazing precision, produced a scintillating sonority like nothing else on earth. The same attribute assured that orchestral bells registered with pristine clarity, even when their sound originated from the back of a large ensemble, as with the Shostakovich symphony." (https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/audiovector-r1-arrete-loudspeaker)
- "The speed with which the extremely homogeneous and naturally colored Trapeze sprang into action was astonishing, complemented by excellent focus and a virtually unidentifiable point of sound origin. We were particularly impressed by Wynton Marsalis with Dianne Reeves on "Feeling Of Jazz" – an absolutely coherent and full-bodied performance, where the dimensions, tonality, bass pressure, and especially the captivating timing, provided joyful excitement." (https://7review.com/audiovector-trapeze-reimagined-ri-speakers-review)
- "This bass combo hits hard and fast, seamlessly integrating with the midrange driver. This results in a richly detailed sound with dynamic vocals and a beautifully balanced bass without any ugly boom." (https://www.insideci.co.uk/reviews/audiovector-trapeze-reimagined-hifi-speakers-review.aspx)

QR Series
- Positioning: The entry-level range, designed to offer high-quality sound at a more accessible price point.
- Description: Uses an AMT tweeter with a gold-plated dispersion mesh, which provides a smooth and detailed high-frequency response, distinguishing it from the more advanced AMT tweeters used in the R Series. Additionally, features a compact design with a focus on delivering a balanced sound profile, making it ideal for smaller spaces compared to the larger and more powerful R Series.
R Series
- Positioning: The high-end traditional tower offering, providing a step up in performance and technology from the QR Series.
- Description: Uses advanced technologies like the Freedom Grounding Concept and SEC Air Motion Transformer, which enhance sound clarity and reduce distortion compared to the QR SE Series. This series also offers a modular upgrade path, allowing users to enhance their speakers over time, a feature not available in the QR Series.
Trapeze
- Positioning: Represents Audiovector's high-end approach to a unique physical format—a revival of their 1979 classic "Trapeze."
- Description: Features a unique wide-baffle design and proprietary drivers, offering exceptional clarity and dynamic range that surpasses both the QR and R Series. Its diffraction absorbing felt area around the treble and midrange drivers helps to create a rare and natural soundstage.

Our interview with the brand
What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?
Our ribbon tweeters, especially the coaxial versions used in our Coax and Master Line models, deliver exceptional resolution and spatial imaging. What’s particularly noteworthy is that we have been developing these tweeters entirely in-house for over 40 years – and we still manufacture them by hand at our facility in Horgen, Switzerland. The quality is, in our view, outstanding – not only acoustically, but also in terms of technical precision and minimal unit-to-unit variance.
Our aluminum enclosures, combined with internal damping and sandwich construction, ensure distortion-free performance – even at high volumes – and are a unique feature both acoustically and visually.
What's your approach to customer support?
We generally recommend that customers first reach out to their dealer or national distributor for any questions or issues. These partners are trained and authorized to assist quickly and effectively. In more complex cases – or when customers contact us directly – we are, of course, committed to providing personal and dedicated support.
Additionally, we regularly invite customers to visit our headquarters in Horgen. During these visits – which include a tour of our production and personal consultation – very close relationships have developed, and in some cases, even real friendships have formed. We take pride in maintaining close and reliable contact, even after the purchase.
What are your favorite tracks for showcasing the strength of your products?
- “Queen Mary” – Francine Thirteen: For dynamics and tight bass, excellent at high volume.
- “Liberty” – Anette Askvik: For atmospheric depth and spaciousness.
- “The Headless Horseman” – Bobby Bass: Great for vocals and evaluating seamless transitions between multi-way drivers.
What other products pair best with yours?
We experience excellent synergy with HiFi Rose electronics – both sonically and aesthetically. Setups with T+A or Cambridge Audio also pair beautifully with our speakers. And of course, there are no limits at the high end: just recently, I heard a large Burmester and McIntosh system driving our Coax 811 at a dealer – the result was absolutely stunning.
