PARIS — French audio maker Triangle released the Capella 2, its second-generation wireless hi-fi system, sticking closely to the design that powered the 2024 original. The speakers remain unchanged in core specs, each packing 100 watts of Class D bi-amplification for a total system output of 200 watts. Dedicated amplifiers and digital converters drive each driver independently, ensuring precise sound reproduction across bookshelf-friendly cabinets.

Triangle, known for elegant passive loudspeakers like its bookshelf and floorstanding models, entered the wireless active market with the first Capella. That system debuted last year with the same duo of speakers linked to a compact hub. The hub manages wired inputs such as analog and digital sources, then beams high-resolution audio wirelessly to the satellites. Users stream directly via the hub’s built-in platform or connect devices through its ports.

For the Capella 2, Triangle focused tweaks on aesthetics. New finishes expand the palette beyond the debut model’s options, letting buyers match oak, walnut or sleek black to their rooms. "The Capella formula works," a company statement read. "We’re enhancing choice without altering performance."

Each speaker houses a 1-inch silk dome tweeter and a 6.5-inch mid-bass driver, calibrated for balanced playback from 45Hz to 25kHz. The system’s active design eliminates subwoofer needs for most listening rooms, though Triangle offers optional wired subs for deeper bass. Wireless transmission runs lossless up to 24-bit/192kHz, according to product specs.

Priced identically to its predecessor at $3,499, the Capella 2 targets audiophiles seeking modern convenience without sacrificing hi-fi purity. Triangle positions it against rivals like the KEF LS50 Wireless II or Naim Mu-so, but at a competitive clip for French engineering. Availability starts next month through authorized dealers in Europe and the U.S.

The brand built its name on accessible high-end audio. Models like the Borea series deliver reference-grade sound under $1,000 per pair, blending Scandinavian minimalism with Gallic flair. Wireless systems like Capella extend that ethos to tech-savvy setups, where placement flexibility trumps cable clutter.

Early listener previews praise the Capella 2’s clarity on complex tracks, from jazz quartets to electronic mixes. One reviewer noted its "airiness in the highs and controlled punch below," crediting the bi-amped topology. Triangle engineers tuned the DSP for room correction, adapting output to wall proximity or open spaces.

Alsace roots inform Triangle’s sound philosophy—clean, dynamic profiles suited to varied acoustics. The Capella 2 embodies this, upgrading a proven winner with subtle evolution. Hi-fi fans can expect full reviews post-launch, but specs signal continuity in Triangle’s push for wireless excellence.
