French hi-fi company Triangle is known for its distinctive design, and this desktop package certainly lives up to that reputation.
The two small, neat cube-shaped speakers each house a 25mm titanium tweeter, an 8cm midrange driver and a 10cm passive radiator hidden on the bottom.
The accompanying subwoofer has a 20cm driver and a 20cm passive radiator, and also houses all the electronics – a 100W digital amp for itself, and two 50W digital amps for the satellite speakers.
Triangle Color 123: Flawless finish
Inputs are a 3.5mm socket and stereo RCAs.This Triangle package looks great – the gloss red cabinets are flawless, while all the components are weighty and feel good and solid.
You can’t use your own speaker cable – but that’s not a deal-breaker here.
Stereo imaging is explicit – clear, wide and easy to place instruments within it, and detail levels are sky-high even in quieter passages of classical music.
Triangle Color 123: Solid sub
Get the sub level dialled in correctly and there’s punch and power on offer, too.
Other than that, a display would be nice (so you can see which level you’ve set the tone to), and we’d like to be able to use our own speaker cable – but that’s really about it.
Verdict
This package is a smashing example of how to do desktop speakers. Sure, it might be pricey, but it’s money well spent.
