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 Not only are they lifestyle-friendly (not everyone has space for so many separate boxes), but their feature set means you can play just about anything through them. Active streaming systems are becoming increasingly common in this convenience-craving world, and the Dali Oberon 1 C are among the best examples we have seen at this level.

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. 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. Once again, the French company Triangle Electroacoustique dedicates itself to an active loudspeaker system that is a full-fledged hi-fi system in itself, with the new Triangle AIO TWIN Speakers.The Triangle AIO TWIN Speakers are active two-way systems that use a 25 mm tweeter in combination with a 13 cm low-mid driver and a rear-firing bass reflex system. They are driven by Class D amplifier modules with a power output of two times 50 watts. The frequency response that can be covered with this solution is specified as 56 Hz up to 22 kHz. Interfaces…. all there carewser said:Couldn't agree more, not sure how companies like Edifier, Audioengine or Kanto got overlooked in a discussion of powered speakers The LS60 Wireless system is a fantastic achievement and a fitting way to celebrate KEF’s 60th anniversary.

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. 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. For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned here that an external subwoofer can also be connected via a corresponding cinch output. We warmed to the Triangle system the second it was out of the box. The two speaker cabinets look smart and classy, and are an appealing size. They are bigger than the dinky Elac Debut Connex DCB41 speakers, but considerably smaller than the JBL 4305P or your standard pair of bookshelf speakers. The Rubicon 2 Cs’ presentation is wonderfully cohesive across the frequencies: highs, lows and mids are distinctly defined, yet never stray from their seemingly effortless coordination with one another.With an optical digital input, it’s easy to connect your TV, set-top box or games console. Once connected, you’ll get a massive boost in sound compared to your TV’s built-in speakers. Although Triangle Electroacoustique can point to years of expertise in the development of loudspeaker systems, for a long time the company was dedicated to the designated premium segment and thus was probably not as well known to a broader customer base as some other manufacturers. Triangle AIO TWIN Speakers for new customer groups We are always impartial in our testing and ensure we hear every pair of active speakers at its optimum, with sources we know and like. We test them in their best use case with different partnering source kit, whether that's with a phone or laptop playing from a supported streaming service or over Bluetooth, or with a wired source component. And we play plenty of different types of music through them. Naturally, we give them plenty of listening time (and time to run in), too. 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. The silence needed to give a dramatic effect when the interplay of instruments stops abruptly isn’t wholly recreated, but it’s a relatively minor issue in an otherwise pleasant overall performance.

At the other end of the scale, the initial, rumbling crescendo isn’t quite delivered in terms of dynamic punch, which occasionally feels slightly loose through the bass. 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.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. Essentially, the Rubicon 2 Cs are an amalgamation of Dali’s five-star Rubicon 2passive speakers (they borrow the drivers and cabinet construction) and the 2018 Callistoactive speakers, from which they take the company’s capable Class D amplifier technology as well as the third box in the set-up, the Dali Sound Hub.
