Triangle AIO Twin – Bluetooth Speaker, Wi-Fi, Multiroom (Pair) (Linen Grey)

Product Information

For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned here that an external subwoofer can also be connected via a corresponding cinch output. At the base of each speaker is a pair of aluminium feet with rubber pads at each end to provide some isolation between the cabinet and whatever it’s placed upon, however the pads slot into the feet rather insecurely and can easily work loose to be potentially lost. power and a steep roll-off below 90Hz from the forward driver deep bass will be minimal. Turning up the bass control raised upper bass rather than low bass. Just be aware that both KEF speaker systems don’t have a phono input, so those who want to play vinyl will require a turntable with a built-in phono stage or an external phono stage to make that possible. The Triangle does have an integrated phono input, but know that it isn’t of the same high quality as the streaming output.

A very important aspect in the development of the Triangle AIO TWIN Speakers was an outstanding design. Not only the proverbial French esprit is relied on, but also the cooperation with the Scandinavian specialist Gabriel, who are responsible for the textile covering of the loudspeaker grill. The Elac Debut ConneX DCB41 are powered speakers that don't take up much space. The individual units stand around a hand-span high, fitting into most places with ease. Build quality is pleasing, good and solid. These speakers would be right at home on a desktop, but can also work in a decently-sized room next to your TV or stereo system provided you don’t require party levels. Music systems that integrate all amplification, connectivity, streaming and more features into one box or a pair of speakers are anincreasingly neat and attractive way to get hi-fi sound into your home. Like the very best kit, we want to keep on listening to the Triangle AIO Twin. And that’s the best recommendation we can give to someone looking for a neat, elegant system that does it (nearly) all. If you’re looking for a fun music system that also sounds hugely capable in hi-fi terms, and that you don’t have to pay over a grand for, this system is worth your attention.For some time now, Triangle Electroacoustique has obviously been trying to gain a foothold in a somewhat broader market and has been focusing on so-called wireless speakers, such as the latest product, the Triangle AIO TWIN Speakers. A more contemporary studio recording – Alexandra by Laura Marling (96/24) – also benefited from a little treble cut, which helped sit the close-mic’d lead vocal more naturally into the mix, creating a more even presentation from top to bottom. By the way, storage media can also be used directly as a source; a corresponding USB port is located on the rear panel. This can also be used for charging a mobile device. Integration into the network via cable and WiFi We pair up our iPad and listen to Wagner’s Die Walkure, Act III: Ride Of The Valkyries played by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra on Spotify Premium. The space between the different instruments is notable, with the speedy, urgent string passages duly handled.

When it comes to streaming, the Triangle AIO app for Apple iOS and Google Android is available to play your own content or that offered via services such as Spotify, Deezer, Qobuz and TIDAL. Internet radio and podcasts are also available. Multiroom audio streaming via Linkplay technologyNot that you will need to reach for any of the aforementioned apps; these speakers are capable of streaming via AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast and Bluetooth, and are also Roon Ready. Triangle AIO TWIN Speakers is the latest system from Triangle Electroacoustique, the French specialist for loudspeaker systems. The fact that this is once again a compact, versatile active loudspeaker system shows that the French are consistently trying to expand their target group.

The follow-up to the outstanding KEF LS50 Wireless speakers improve on greatness – no easy feat, even for an audio brand as sure-footed as KEF.With the help of the app, as well as the Linkplay technology, it is also possible to realise multi-room audio streaming. Streaming can be controlled directly via the app in each individual room, the volume can be adjusted, the sound can be optimised via the sound control or different speakers can be connected with each other. If three boxes (one streaming amp plus two speaker cabinets) is still one box too many, but you still want a sound that’s more sophisticated and room-filling than the one you’d get from a talented but ultimately limited one-boxer such as the Sonus Faber Omnia, you might want to consider another burgeoning hi-fi category: the all-in-one speaker system. Everything – source, amplification and speakers – in just two speaker cabinets. The clash of cymbals is clear, and although the presentation would benefit from some refinement through the treble here, we can of course alter the levels ourselves to make the shortcoming a little less obvious. It’s only with the built-in phono stage does it falter. While the peppy character remains the same, it doesn’t sound as clear, precise or expressive compared with the other inputs. The sound quality when streaming through wi-fi is far superior. In a nutshell, though, the British brand has managed to combine impressive engineering and a comprehensive feature set with an attractive user experience and top it all off with fantastic audio quality. It’s a fine example of modern hi-fi and currently has no real rival if you are in the market for a convenient yet premium solution.
