The only attested tuning of this chord seems to be permutations of 16:20:25, though it may be tempered to better approximate [[3edo|3-EDO]].

Alternatively, one of the fifths could theoretically be tuned a flat by a Magic Comma in order to add the more consonant 9/7 on top of the chord; while this is technically valid and rings very well, it is purely theoretical and not attested as a tuning of the Augmented triad in barbershop.

Some performers add the Dominant Seventh (9/5) or a Barbershop Seventh (7/4) over the top of an Augmented Triad, but this is usually used as a flourish and not considered a part of the chord.
