So after spending a considerable amount of time comparing the TriTrix and the Behringer 2031's, here are my takeaways:
- 2031's have a better frequency range. The low end is much more audible. This is not surprising. The front-facing ports also ensure that sound is aimed forward. (Unlike the TriTrix which are rear)
- 2031's are also "louder." They are capable of more output. The dynamic range is better.
- TriTrix are VERY musical. I am very happy with their performance, honestly. I don't think they are suited for large Hauptwerk setups in CHURCHES, BUT I do believe they would be magnificent in large, multi-channel home setups. The rear-facing ports give a great ambience. For better bass response, back them into a corner or against a wall.
TriTrix aren't as "loud" as the Behringer's but they are much for 'forgiving' and musical. This is, again, expected. Studio monitors are meant to be as accurate as possible - some more so than others, obviously - while almost all home theater and even some higher-end speakers are actually designed to manipulate or color the sound to some degree. This isn't revolutionary or "new" information.
My conclusion is this: I'm still sold on the Behringer 2031 monitors for my church project as of this moment, BUT the TriTrix (for anyone who's interested) would actually make a very fine home Hauptwerk speaker - especially with multichannel and sub.
