Perhaps, but the Triangle
Solstice falls one day later apparently. That's because French audio brand Triangle has unveiled its latest family of audio products called, you guessed it, the Solstice.

This new family consists of three major releases. First, there's the Solstice 8 floorstanding speakers, which are joined, for space-savers, by the Solstice 3 bookshelf speakers, and rounding out the family is the C3 centre channel. Depicted above, you see the Solstice 8. I've reported on a fair few floorstanders at this point, and the Triangle Solstice 8's asking price feels a little lower than the normal cost. A pair will sell for $2,799 / 1,999 (about AU$4,000), which naturally isn't cheap, but it's still cheap er. Just last week I covered another pair of speakers from Focal which cost 87.5 times the Solstice 8 so you know, there's that Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

The bookshelf speakers are naturally cheaper. You can buy the Solstice 3 for $1,349 / 999 (about AU$2,000) per pair, and the C3 costs $750 / 579 (about AU$1,080), though the standard price of those kinds of products can get a lot lower than floor-standers.

Triangle's Solstice range goes on sale later in June, through whichever hi-fi retailers in your area the brand works with.

High End Vienna speakers we've ever seen just launched, and they sit at very opposite ends of the scale Needs more Triangle (Image credit: Triangle) It seems like a key selling point of the new Triangle Solstice range is the horn tweeter found in each of the three products, which was designed specifically for the range. It is arch-shaped, made from die-cast aluminum, and is
designed to reduce resonance.

It's a refreshing change since most of the time, when I'm reporting on new speakers it feels like mid-bass or low-end is the focus. I've written about all kinds of woofer technology, and have had my socks blown off in all kinds of directions by thumping bass in listening demonstrations. Putting high-end as the focal point feels unusual today. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.

The tweeter is joined by 16cm mid-woofers; two in the C3, one in the 3, and none in the 8 (that gets 16mm drivers too, but there's one midrange and two woofers). These are made from cellulose pulp, in order to offer a neutral sound profile.

The Solstice 3 and C3 both get single terminals for connecting, while the Solstice 8 gets a dual terminal, with bi-wiring and bi-amping to avoid any mixed signals or distortion.

Each member of the Solstice range comes in teak, birch, black ash or...
white. The latter isn't white-looking wood (such as ash, perhaps), it's just... white. Perhaps not the most unique-looking speakers I've ever seen, but the braced cabinet with drivers stacked is a tried and tested design and after all, it's the sound that counts.
