Wireless speaker system £2499 whf.cm/TriangleCapella
We are big fans of wireless speaker systems like the Triangle Capella. If done well, they deliver the performance of good, carefully matched separates hi-fi but in a more convenient package.
The lack of a physical connection to the pair of speakers gives a degree of flexibility that traditional wire-based alternatives can’t match. Of course, like its much-admired KEF LS50 Wireless II rival, there is still the need for mains cables for each fully active speaker. So, as with all such systems, the Triangle Capella is only wireless to a degree.
The big difference between this Triangle and its KEF rival is in the number of boxes it occupies. The Capella’s box count is three as it separates the connections and control from the pair of speakers. This control box – Triangle calls it a stereo hub – is about the size of a small paperback book and is responsible for all the input connectivity. It then sends the music signal wirelessly to each speaker.
Ample connectivity options The stereo hub scores well in the input department. There is Bluetooth, a USB Type B, three opticals, an HDMI, a coaxial input and analogue inputs in the form of a stereo RCA and a 3.5mm aux. That 3.5mm doubles as an additional optical input. The Triangle’s digital inputs are compatible with up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM hi-res files, which should be fine for most people. DSD isn’t on the menu, though. Moving away from physical inputs there is Chromecast and AirPlay alongside Roon compatibility.
