Hi! How would you compare the sound quality of this with the ISN H40?
Thanks!

As the price suggests, the Trio is better than H40. However, H40 is no slouch and it is a no-brainer at its price point. Cheers!

I currently have the H40. Would you consider this as an upgrade?

Very interesting review. This Trio is similar in price to fearless s8z while having the specs of the roland. Between s8z and trio which one is best for classical and which one for metal? Thank you

Hi, it depends on what you are looking for. For the bass and soundstage, Trio. For the midrange and treble, S8Z. Do you mind providing some of your classical & metal tracks? Will test for you. Cheers!

Ok, for example 2 piece of music I know very well, Where the Wild Wolves Have Gone by Powerwolf and Beethoven`s violin sonata 3 played by Roberto Gatto . Actually I own t800, fealty, se846, spring1, oh10 and some more ciems so I wonder if s8z or trio are a some kind of upgrade. Thank you a lot :))
