Hi,
I owned this model several years and it provided all advantages this brand has to offer. But also its disadvantages...
The high-end response is perfect thanks to the very good DOM4 tweeter and the exceptional DOM12 medium driver. I find the mids sound much better than on Sloop models although its paper cone is also good. But Clippers are are even better (IMO)!
The famous 30BZ woofer mounted in a closed enclosure does a perfect job reproducing lows and low-mids. But I find it somewhat limited in the sub-bass range. It's the only "weak point" that led me to choose another brand.
If Cabasse had made the necessary modifications, they would have had the best speakers in the market because this woofer was also mounted in Sloop and Galion models.
Watch out for the suspension, it's breakable!... But Cabasse modified it later.
They have a beautiful finish...
It was a delight to listen to them but I wouldn't recommend them for hard rock, heavy metal and the likes because it's not their favorite music, if you know what I mean. On the contrary, they are excellent for jazz, classical music, vocals and acoustic instruments. A delight!
Considering their secondhand price they have no competitors on the market!!! You don't need to look any further...
