What reviewers think
Magazine reviewers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below.
How useful are hifi reviews? We consider them useful for three things: (1) Surfacing new products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've ever heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's unique attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on everything—rarely being negative for fear of souring relationships with manufacturers. Further, they seldom have more than a couple products on-hand at once, relying on their imperfect memories to compare to past products.

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.

Manufacturer's notes
The approach to our R-Series InWall and InCeiling speaker designs are the same that we apply to all of our R-products. These speakers deliver a wonderfully big and open sound based on our no-compromise philosophy in concept, quality materials and fine tuning. Because they have been developed for high end music reproduction (both with and without an added subwoofer) these speakers are also a great solution for office spaces, home cinema solutions, property projects, restaurants, bars, conference rooms, kitchens and much more.
Our new wall speakers have their own specifically fine-tuned cabinets for optimum performance. In addition, the dimensions adhere to European building regulations and standards. For stereo installation, their unique midrange arrangement – which cancels unwanted wall reflections – has been designed to offer the sound equivalent to a pair of speakers positioned away from the wall into the room.
At Audiovector we offer a wide variety of custom paint finishes which are painted in Denmark. Availability on request. Standard finishes: Matte Black, White Silk.

Our take on the brand
Audiovector, a Danish speaker brand, stands out for the founder’s relentless rethinking of every component in their designs. Their use of unique materials, innovative technologies, and unconventional theories on sound results in speakers that genuinely sound distinct—especially in the R series. The flagship models in this series are known for creating exceptional soundstage depth, the kind you’d typically expect from dipole speakers, not cone-driver designs. Audiovector also focuses on minimizing harsh treble, ensuring smooth, fatigue-free vocals. Their speakers consistently receive high praise from reviewers and often win best-of-the-year awards.
