"When I first heard the Trio11s, I thought maybe they were bass heavy. What I realized is that's not true, that [previously] we weren't actually getting all the information we needed. We hit play and we were absolutely blown away. The Trio11 just absolutely floored me. So much clarity, the low end. We were hearing stuff in mixes that I hadn't heard or hadn't been brought to light."
