This was an old favorite of mine that got lost in relative obscurity
over the years and the Trinity has brought it back with a bang.
I forgot how powerful and engaging this recording could be.
"The Trinity is incredibly tight-sounding
and a great complement to any high-
performing entertainment system. It is
deep enough to transport you to depths
you've never been before, yet can stay
agile enough to satisfy the most
discerning music enthusiasts."

With its noteworthy performance, the Trinity Sub has few
downsides. One glaring consideration is the size of this sub.
Although this subwoofer produces a tremendous amount of
thunder, it comes in a physically large package. Although I have
never had space constraints that necessitated a mini-cube style
sub, the Trinity Sub sits in my theater like an oak tree stump.
I personally liked the size, because it played a dual role as an
end-table, yet those who yearn to conceal their subs may find
frustration. The fact is, if you want really big bass, you need
a really big subwoofer.
Due to its sheer mass and extreme low frequencies, the Trinity
Subwoofer, like all subs, performs best on a solid floor. This sub
can turn your suspended wood floor into a rolling platform. To get
the most out of this product, as I did, I recommend solid flooring
beneath it.

Subwoofers live a fairly thankless life. They sit in the background,
often concealed under coffee tables and in corners that are
seldom seen. Once they are set up, they are often forgotten about.
We consider the best performing subs ones that blend so well you
can hardly tell they're on. To add insult to injury, they don't even
get a whole number, as they are merely the "point one" in a 5.1
system. Subs are like the Rodney Dangerfields of the loudspeaker
world, but once you hear a top-performing woofer do its magic,
you will not want to live without one. Without question, the
Definitive Technology Trinity subwoofer must be considered in
an elite class of subwoofers at the absolute performance level.

The Trinity is incredibly tight-sounding and a great complement
to any high-performing entertainment system. It is deep enough to
transport you to depths you've never been before, yet can stay
agile enough to satisfy the most discerning music enthusiasts. At
$3,000, it's not inexpensive when you look at the overall
subwoofer market, yet with regard to performance, the Definitive
Trinity would be considered a killer at double its price. At
$3,000, this subwoofer is a steal.
