Triangle Unveils Genese Loudspeaker Line
Audio - Loudspeakers

Triangle Genese French loudspeaker producer Triangle Industries has introduced a new line of loudspeakers. The Genese line sits right below Triangle's flagship Magellan line, and much of the technology used in the Genese line of loudspeakers was developed by Triangle for the Magellan line.
 
Presently the Triangle Genese line consists of three loudspeakers. The 50" 3 way, front ported Triangle Lyrr uses three 6.5" woofers coupled with a 6.5" midrange and Triangle's familiar tweeter, which features a phase plug and is either sitting in a shallow horn or a deep waveguide, depending who you ask. The Triangle Genese Quartet is a 46" 3 way, front ported floorstander that gets the job done with two 6.5" woofers mated with a 6.5" midrange and the Triangle tweeter. Bringing up the rear is the Triangle Trio, a 2 way, front ported bookshelf that utilizes a 6.5" woofer mated with the Triangle tweeter. Across the line the tweeters sit in their own housing, reminiscent of Usher and Swan, and the sides of the enclosures are rounded. Finishes appear to be of the piano gloss variety. Sensitivity is high, typical of Triangle, with the Trio claiming 90dB and the floorstanding Quartet and Lyrr at 92dB. Plinths have the familiar five-footed stance that is familiar from Triangle's Esprit line. The Genese line's ports split into a Y inside the enclosure, giving the port more volume without increasing the aperture. Triangle claims this lowers distortion and unwanted resonances.
 
No pricing details on the Genese line at this time. The Genese line sits between the economically priced Esprit and flagship Magellan lines. Triangle loudspeakers have gotten an unfair rap for being on the bright side. Paired with the right equipment their offerings deliver exceptional detail. They can definitely play loud, and may be just the thing for someone with a tube affinity.
