French manufacturer Triangle has begun teasing the Capella 2, a second-generation streaming standmount that uses WiSA technology to eliminate the cable vomit caused by wires spilling from the back of the primary speaker.<\/p>\n

This active 2-way features a 16.5cm \u201cnatural cellulose pulp\u201d mid\/bass driver paired with a horn-loaded 2.5cm magnesium alloy dome tweeter. Each driver is fed by a DAC whose output is juiced by a 50-Watt Class D amplifier; the DSP crossover \u2013 tweaked for this second-generation model \u2013 works at 3600Hz.<\/p>\n

Piling on acoustic tech, Triangle\u2019s DVAS (Driver Vibration Absorption System) promises reduced cabinet resonances, while a downward-firing bass reflex port provides what the press release calls \u201cuniform low-frequency dispersion without affecting vocal clarity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feeding each loudspeaker wirelessly is the external Stereo Hub 2, which features an Ethernet input and a subwoofer output \u2013 both absent from the first generation Capella\u2019s hub. All wired and wireless sources connect to the hub, which then transmits a 24-bit\/96kHz audio signal to each speaker with what Triangle claims is \u201cno perceptible latency.\u201d This hub-centric approach keeps all source cables away from the loudspeakers. Buh-bye cable vomit.<\/p>\n

The hub offers three TOSLINK inputs, one coaxial, USB-B for computer audio, HDMI eARC with CEC for TV integration, plus standard RCA and 3.5mm analogue inputs. On streaming, we get Spotify Connect (with Lossless), Tidal Connect, Roon Ready, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast, UPnP\/DLNA and Bluetooth 5.2.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s app (iOS and Android) includes automatic room calibration using either iOS devices or Triangle\u2019s optional Zen calibration microphone. Manual EQ adjustment is available for those who prefer a hands-on tuning. A new radio-frequency remote replaces the first-gen model\u2019s infrared unit.<\/p>\n

Most obviously, the Stereo Hub 2 has also been styled to match the speakers with an elegant design that no longer demands to be tucked away out of sight. Triangle will offer the Capella 2 in five high-quality lacquer finishes, some with champagne-anodised aluminium accents: the returning Space White and Astral Blue, plus new options in Space Black, English Green and Oak. To these eyes, the Capella 2\u2019s visual impact is not to be underestimated.<\/p>\n

At \u20ac2499 for the complete system \u2013 both speakers and the Stereo Hub 2 \u2013 Triangle is lowering the Capella 2 into fiercely fought territory that already contains KEF\u2019s LS50 Wireless II (\u20ac2799) and Technics\u2019 SC-CX700 (\u20ac2799), neither of which tackles cable vomit with a hub. Manufacturing remains in Soissons, France, but you\u2019ll need a little patience because the Capella 2 don\u2019t begin shipping until early 2026.<\/p>\n
