Florida Audio Expo 2025

Hasn’t everyone owned a pair of Triangle speakers? Early in my audio journey, Triangle’s clean, precise, flowing sound won me over. Then the company seemingly disappeared. Well, they’re back, and FLAX 2025 showed them in prime stead, in yet another House of Stereo room.

An international affair, room 419 held a Serbian made Soulines TT42 turntable ($14,500, tonearm and cart not included), Norwegian Electrocompaniet ECP 2 MkII phono stage ($2900), Electrocompaniet ECM 1 MKII High End DAC and streamer ($5700), Electrocompaniet EMC 1 MKV Reference CD player ($6800), Electrocompaniet EC 4.8 MKII Reference preamplifier ($4900), and an Electrocompaniet AW 800 M Nemo 2 stereo power amp ($22,500). Speakers were the French-made standmount Triangle 40th Anniversary Magellan Duettos ($7000/pair) and the active Capellas ($3000/pair). Cabling throughout the system was by Nordost.

I was taken by the Soulines/Electrocompaniet/Triangle system spinning Totally Mild’s Her, a mellow yet hypnotic album full of eerily tumescent synths and the singer’s robotic yet incandescent vocal and menacing background vocals.
