Is there any plan to upgrade the Aon 3 with the new crossover treatment and drivers that the Triton Two+ and Triton Tree+
got?

Not yet.... would require a rather significant price change compared to the Triton PLUS models, so Sandy and the engineering team are still contemplating.

I have a small den system with Aon 3's and a sub. I don't have room for floor standers so I would be willing to pay the extra cash for the best bookshelf speakers I could get. I could then move this pair for surround duty.

Other members please chime in. Is there a demand for bookshelf speakers in the $1,500-$2,000 range?

wweiss,

I would love to have the balanced crossovers in the Aon 3s. I'm not sure that would bump the price up quite that much. The T5s are about $1,000 each and they are much larger, have more drivers, and the balanced crossovers. In any case, I'm with you on the improvement! I already love them but the balanced crossovers would (hyperbole warning) lift another veil and make them that much better. Even if they don't, I'll be buying another pair.

Cheers,

Just my two cents, I'd rather see a new model if you're going to move the price point up a decent amount. I've already take a playful jab at Sandy's model naming convention. If he had made the Aon 3 the lowest model, and the Aon 2 above that, there'd be room for an Aon 1 flagship bookshelf and it would mirror the tower naming convention.

Under the current naming convention you could make an Aon 4 with better sonics and some design elements from the Triton 1/5/+ models.

I'm following Imahawki. How about a Aon with the same basic set up as the SuperCenterXXL. A 2.5 way design with the HVFR, a mid range driver, and another driver for below 500 Hz. 3 drivers is all with a balanced crossover. Now that would be something.

Moderator Dude, that idea is free of charge. Maybe we can call it the Aon T Cobe or Aon T for short.
