Triangle LN01A Limited Edition Bluetooth Speaker Wireless Bookshelf (Pair)

Product Information

The LN01A speakers don’t disappoint in the sound department, delivering a bold and engaging performance regardless of the audio source. When streaming via Bluetooth, the speakers impress with their solid and upfront character. Listening to some old school ‘No Doubt’, the FX laden electric guitar riffs come alive, and the drum strikes hit with impactful precision. The speakers effortlessly handle the building layers of instrumentation, providing controlled pace and rhythmic accuracy. Although the treble might be slightly pronounced in an open setting, placing them closer to a wall balances the sound, while their bass prowess adds a surprising low-end punch for their size. In conclusion, the Triangle LN01A speakers are a compelling option for anyone seeking a powerful and refined active HiFi system, with less boxes taking up space.

Using my iPhone, I tapped into my Tidal playlist and selected Glory to the Day by the late Jesse Winchester, and was anchored in my listening chair by the Elara’s musically communicative nature. Next up was Glenn Gould’s 1981 recording of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations (LP, CBS Masterworks IM37770). Again, piano tone in the lower octaves was a little muddy, but the middle and upper registers sounded lovely -- natural and extended, but not hyperdetailed, so that Gould’s crisp trills and runs were really well articulated. What most impressed me was how the little Triangles handled sudden dynamic shifts. For example, after the serene opening Aria, Variation 1 explodes with joy and abandon. The Elara LN01As did full justice to this moment.

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.

They're more interested in flagging the subtle, aching inflections of his delivery, and the textures and low-level dynamics of instruments, than the power behind them. Verdict 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 Elara is said to have a power output of 50-watts and a frequency response of 56-20,000 Hz measured at one metre +/-3dB. The LN01A set embodies a true plug-and-play mentality. Its large array of available inputs include phono, coaxial, optical and RCA connectors, as well as a dedicated subwoofer output for extending the low end. The system also supports Bluetooth 4.0 APTX for wireless streaming which equates to CD quality performance (16 bit / 44.1kHz).

There is also a sub output which is full range, you’ll have to use the crossover on your sub to blend the output with your speakers. A 60-70 Hz cut off is recommended. There is also a volume knob on the rear of the speaker. What’s missing in comparison to larger speakers is musical weight. Small woofers can only move so much air in a room. And it’s churlish to expect more than you get. Each rear-ported cabinet measures 11.5”H x 6.5”W x 9.25”D. The two-way LN01A has a 5.1” midrange-woofer with a treated-paper cone, crossed over at 1.8kHz to a 1” silk-dome tweeter. The specified frequency response is 56Hz-22kHz, ±3dB. The speakers are supplied with magnetically attached cloth grilles, at the bottom of each grille a large Triangle logo.For the past couple of decades, the audio industry has been angsting about how to get young listeners interested in hi-fi. It’s not that teens and twentysomethings don’t love music; it’s that their musical lives revolve around smartphones, headphones, maybe a Bluetooth speaker. How can they be introduced to the joys of listening to real stereo from real hi-fi speakers? Drivers built into the Elara are a 25mm silk dome tweeter crossing over to a 135mm woofer that has a treated paper cone. The tweeter uses a Neodymium magnet. As I said in the introduction, Triangle’s Elara LN01A could serve as a great introduction to the joys of hi-fi -- but this little speaker could also work well as a secondary system in a secondary room. The LN01A can be used to stream music in true stereo from a smart device, but can also serve as the core of a sound system including a turntable, a disc player, a game console, a TV, and other sources.

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. Above the lowest notes, the basses had a nice growly breathiness, as did the cellos. The nostalgic waltz theme sounded delectable as played on Les Siècles’ period violins, their gut strings producing a beautifully sweet tone. I also loved the way the Elaras conveyed the clear, ringing tone of the small-bore brasses. In Gould’s Goldbergs the lower octaves of the piano had better definition through the Totems, a little more clarity in the upper octaves. But in that explosion of joy at the beginning of Variation 1 the piano tone was a bit more clangy. It’s worth noting that this is a very early digital recording made in 1981, and was miked quite closely, with almost no reverb. In reproducing it, the Totems were clearly less forgiving than the Triangles.

The cliché insisting that the more things change, the more they stay the same, is usually a lazy and mostly inaccurate summation of life and the universe. That was assuming someone could defy gravity and dawdle to the turntable through the haze in the room.
