Triangle Solstice: A New Line of Speakers Featuring Three Distinct Models

French audio maker Triangle unveils the Solstice speaker lineup, blending natural sound with versatile options for Hi-Fi newcomers and aficionados alike.

If you're like me and have a soft spot for audio gear that delivers crisp, natural sound without breaking the bank, the new Triangle Solstice speakers are worth a serious listen. This fresh lineup from the French brand introduces three speaker models, each crafted with a clear purpose and a nod to realistic sound reproduction. Whether you're deep into the Hi-Fi world or just dipping your toes in, Solstice aims to impress.

Floor-Standing Power: Solstice 8

The star of the show might just be the Solstice 8 floor-standing speakers. Priced at £1,999 (~$2,799) per pair, these three-way towers pack a punch with a sophisticated driver setup. Imagine this: a brand-new 25mm horn tweeter from Triangle handling the high notes, a 16-cm midrange driver for vocals and instruments, and not one but two matching 16-cm woofers taking care of the bass.

To get that rich, tight bass response without any boominess, Triangle tucked a phase inverter neatly into the base of the cabinets. The result? Deep, controlled lows that anchor the sound beautifully without overpowering the rest of the frequencies.

Compact Clarity: Solstice 3 Bookshelf Speakers

For those short on space but unwilling to sacrifice quality, the Solstice 3 bookshelf speakers offer a compelling solution. These two-way boxes come in at £999 (~$1,349) per pair, delivering an open and precise soundstage. They share key components with their bigger siblings: a 16-cm mid/bass driver and the very same 25mm tweeter. Plus, the discreet phase inverter makes an appearance again, keeping bass tight and well-formed.

If you want to showcase these beauties just right, Triangle also offers dedicated S05 stands designed to complement the speakers perfectly.

Home Theater Harmony: Solstice C3 Center Channel

No home theater setup is complete without a solid center channel, and the Solstice C3 center channel speaker fits that bill at £579 (~$750). This two-way speaker features dual 16-cm mid drivers alongside the signature 25mm tweeter, ensuring dialogue and on-screen audio come through crystal clear and integrate seamlessly with the rest of your system.

Innovative Tweeter Design: The Heart of Solstice Sound

What's particularly notable across all three Solstice models is the new tweeter design. It’s not your run-of-the-mill driver — it boasts a cast phase plug and a cylindrical cut-out at the horn’s base. This clever construction smooths out frequency response and blends highs with mids in a way that feels cohesive and natural.

Even if you’re not an audiophile, the difference is noticeable: the system sounds balanced and refined without being over-engineered.

"Thanks to this design, the sound achieves evenness across frequencies, with highs better marrying the mids, resulting in a harmonized system that even casual listeners can appreciate."
