Listening to the Triangle GENÈSE Trio Bookshelf Speaker Of course, some speaker designers design around the cabinets’ resonance, so the rap test doesn’t tell all. That’s by design, as these speakers are meant to provide energy similar to a floorstanding model.Ī quick rap test reveals an enclosure that’s a little bit noisier than its size and weight (about 20lbs) would have you think, but it’s not readily evident when listening. This is a bookshelf speaker that’s a little on the large side, measuring a hair over 18 inches tall and almost 15 inches deep. There’s an elegant set of gold-plated dual binding posts in the rear, which adds to the Trio’s status symbol appeal. It also has a magnetic grille for a clean baffle. By the way, I love paper cones, which Triangle uses to good effect in several of their speakers.Īs usual for Triangle, the design is eye-catching, utilizing a curved enclosure with a gloss finish. The tweeter is partially raised above the main cabinet in a “pod” mount for enhanced transparency and openness. It’s a front-ported two-way design, with a 16cm (6.29 inch) cellulose midbass driver paired with a 25mm (around an inch) Titanium dome tweeter. It follows Triangle’s tradition of large-format standmount speakers designed to provide performance closer to a floorstanding model in terms of loudness and dynamics. The Trio is the sole standmount speaker of the GENÈSE line. We will return the speakers once the review is complete. That said, the GENÈSE line is still striking, and if you squint, you will find it hard to differentiate between the two.ĭisclaimer: The GENÈSE Trio was sent to us by the manufacturer to provide an honest, unbiased review. GENÈSE pulls a lot of technology from the top two lines positioned above it, the flagship Magellan line and the Signature line.Īs a matter of fact, the GENÈSE speakers look a lot like the more expensive Signature models, except with a variance in drivers, plus a less lavish fit and finish.

Now, another interesting about the design is it front firing slot bassreflex similar to my PMC but this is not Transmission Line design. ![]() The mid bass unit is a custom made XAVIAN 150 mm driver made of special PP membrane and the tweeter is an Audiobarletta 26 mm soft dome type. The end product is a beautifully finished cabinet that has a high WAF in it. The cabinet is of a 'mosaic' oak which was rested for 3 weeks before the milling process is done. It needs 2 people to properly align it as the landing on the shoe is very precisely machined to fit the thin sharp point of the spike. Matthew helped to set it up which was relatively straight forward apart from aligning the spike with its shoe.

Thank you to AFC Top HiFi for this opportunity to review this speakers. A good time as MCO have started to be relaxed a bit by the authority. Soon after that, the speakers landed at my house for a review. This particular model is named as Madre Perla under the Natura series.
