SOUNDS

Sound level, nothing to say, I find them perfect, they remake the 35-a 25,000 Hz perfection
below 35Hz, it lacks a bit of fishing, but it's not bad, and to 30 Hz, there is nothing, it was from the subwoofer channel 46cm utility, which is when even very rare in music to go in the grave-iinfra

OVERALL OPINION

J Pesonnelement use these speakers every day for 5 years before me, my father used it for over 30 years, I counsel all those who make the Save (home studio) or simply those who love beautiful music, the sound is clean, crisp and clear with deep bass and round: in short, very good speakers

My first possdait in a pair for years and DCID to afford a home-cinema (cabasse course). So I had the chance to rcuprer a pair of Cabasse Sampan Heavy 311-10. Premire surprising thing is that despite the max power rating of 70 watts, they have a performance standard. Level of manufacturing quality is good and the trs trs heavy, it does not vibrate even "background".

SOUNDS

With regard to the sound of the speaker, I had never heard that before. A weird sense of puisssance and clarity even in costing trs fort, there is always a relief and a claret sound experience!

OVERALL OPINION

Nanmoins one small criticism, costing styles of music require much in the trs low frequencies (eg dub), this speaker will lack power in extremely low because it is sealed enclosure .

J have received this material several times now I already had my 4312MK2 comparison was easy. Have friends in a pair of heavy sampan as in the photo: 19mm dome acute tiny polymer very rigid weighs more than 1kg for total hp on the scale. The serious light paper Reference 30BZ18 suspension with 30 cm foam or fabric support a closed volume and to finish the dome of the same technology as the medium for acute but more light is shifted temporally relative to the acute serves all the CABASSE policy in a beautiful box rigid aglommeration MARINE well decorated with a pretty veneer moyer.Voila c is done, the beautiful creature is made compact.

SOUNDS

After this presentation as clear and states that these speakers because I've said almost everything
in these few words. The grave is short course, but very fast and performance is very important and far more important than my beloved JBL their only real competitor because they are curiously the same size but over or close to this grave shorter.
This pair of speaker you can do nothing but praise for their speed, their dynamics and quality in general do not spend all music frustration. S the test is done on a small integrated LUXMAN 2x50watts which ultimately was better on Cabasses consume less than the JBL m ... so if you have understood everything is perfect on these forums including the stereo image is wide and accurate and that leaves nothing in the background.

OVERALL OPINION

No failure to report for n is a forum for this class if n is a serious enough that despite the short 30cm but in a responsible close, the house specialty.
The value is absolute and no column of the same manufacturer can not make him the shadow CABASSE lived and is now in the hands of a Japanese printer manufacturer: Canon. As we integrate everything, I think that in addition to columns with HPS sold cheap and ridiculous too expensive, they will get us out of the speakers CABASSE with integrated print heads out of the A4 paper.
CABASSE was more than a myth, it was the world specialist in the enclosure! These new owners did disappear in a few years by destroying the factory dating from 60 RUE DE BREST WHITE WATER. This plant, they left all the most beautiful Cabasses. they were the owners to finally be redeemed by the Japanese because they have invested in a major new factory location with more modern machines is called a sluggish market: result: loss of money can CABASSE MADE IN JAPAN OR CHINA FULLY INSIPIDUS ... and uninteresting.
HAPPY OWNERS sampans Cabasses AND OTHER IN THE SAME WAY, KEEP
AND MAKE THE LISTEN AND COMPARE WITH those with the "new" and a good laugh. It feels good to make fun of marketing and poor becoming easier
to expose sound .. especially since they do more than that, as with the laundry that washes always better and whiter than white.
In laundry, we add grains of blue red roses .... acoustics, we add the functions, "as they say daisign" and the stuff that flash .....
I think all is said if someone wants to complete one .... There is no copyright.
CJR

Cabasse sound was always a t rve inaccessible, I possde Sampan Heavy 311-10 etje do not come back on other forums.

I use my main speakers in Hi-Fi but also in HC (exits out the front of a pre-amp pr Yam DSP E 800) for the attack on the couple MX and CX 1000 still with Yam (250W RMS into 8 ohms).

SOUNDS

I have no reproaches to make those sampan as it is excellently dmnent.

In Jazz, however, they shine more.

95db of return is more than enough for my daily use

OVERALL OPINION

I have these speakers for 9 years.

I've bought used and, as a little DIY (restoration of a cabinet), I made a big deal.

These speakers are out of any Gupi. I never get to 2 Watt LED because it is not Necessary for apprcier

My Sampan date from 1980 (approximately).
The technique has taken place in my little choice. But I knew I was buying the speakers nanmoins guarantees life, the square wire coils and reputable high quality. I'm thrilled!
It's the costs I chose these speakers from a dozen other in one of the auditoriums of a Paris department store. All other including more Chres but other brands were felt to be 10 meters away. Except for big sisters Cabasse outside door of my wallet.
These speakers are Designed to work poses the ground, on a neutral soil rverbrant (wood, tile, ...), DGIG of both sides (avoid the absolute angles of walls and furniture latraux too close). They give the best of them even when they are dcolles wall of 50 cm. Restitution complte bass can be done in a pice of good size and distance costs by at least 4 meters.
I am fortunate to have a great pice ...
Sampan are connected my Luxman amp 007 in the same era (2x100 W).

SOUNDS

My amp is usually zero-rgl on about the serious and acute. Sometimes I fix some old recordings. The Sampan prsentent do (I think) no staining.
Under the right conditions for installation, everything is perfect:
- Stereo sound image excellent (close your eyes, it's a rve! It is you who are playing ...)
- Its extremely clear, chiseled dtach instruments perfectly and positioned in the orchestra, large prsence across the spectrum and all the stamps, the triangle to major organs, fabulous attacks (Wagner, Mendelssohn, drums, piano, cymbals ...).
- The worst I know are just restitus by the major organs (and synth - ND 16 hertz to Paris and ... the human ear - and of Bach Toccata in UT. It's happening! Grandiose! The sound pressure is extraordinary.
- All natural harmonics of instruments are Submitted, without interference or blurring.

Warning: These speakers rclament Obviously a quality amp and recording of quality also. I Reserved the cost of most of my MP3 621 in the Altec Lansing RELATED my PC.

OVERALL OPINION

I have, I care! I Miton. I love them.
There are probably as remarkable in today's market. However, I bought Cabasse Jersey home for another 6 years ago. I'm not really but I can not find (connect to the Luxman 007) the same dynamic and certainly not the same depth. The diameter of HP is Obviously for something. For cons, the mdium and treble are equal in power and clarity.

I bought in 1980, a pair of heavy-M311 sampan - of "matre" Cabasse, Surla renames only the name and APRS cost of these bugs Fidler in a New Morning Paris (j'coute mainly jazz, blues, ... Soulet nougaro). Not given the critters that era (best price at Darty Bagnolet). But they are the still, and although the APRS t have "inspired" by a LUXMAN amp, then APRS by a MacIntosh lamps, they work today with a amp Sugden. To my ears is the best compromise (with a CD player or turntable vinyl Nad rotofluid Barthe Hancock with one arm and a cell M91GD shure. No incidents and tissues of the boomer suspensio are still ok! They have effcetu es dmnagement one in 1987 and have since taken root in my living room (6.50X4.20) - They are 40 cm from the wall and dcolles latralement 60 cm below the chest I use Chinese furniture Hifi - front and rear walls of brick and shingle a bay window visible and no curtain or wall hanging. two sofas and a tl it! (I was forget, a tl and a lower cabinet full of vinyl and CD)

SOUNDS

The curve seems a little "color", but just enough (as I do not have a golden ear). Stereo and image is perfect. As for the sound, that mean? I had Mr. rv Cabasse has done (with the Sugden this is even more empty)! And while my ear drum hardening (ah, damn this retirement), the sound still seems to me perfect, crystal clear and everything is different (even high volume), the bassoon to the triangle through the board soap! A muted trumpet? A rgal! A piece of "the bird"? An ecstasy! BMOL one (so to speak!) Low: they lack a little dog. But the technique is sealed rooms talking. But as long as there are .., tank there will be ... Cabasses (paraphrasing Nougaro !)..... there will be ..., there will be jazz fans happy!

OVERALL OPINION

-Use: 1980
-The best: anything but, and j'exagre, bass. Vritable the least: their size in the eyes of my dust, which since ending for twenty years, trying to convince me that small Boose in the library, it would be much better (his view seems to me that justification 'in terms of COD)
Yes, I cost with friends and several auditoriums MODELS (lansing - ditone-jamo - audio .....)
At 28-years of use ratio is quite extraordinary, right? (5800 era in the f - Darty and up to 7500 F in stores rput audio from the capital) and now only 620 euros rating occasions. Like what, the quality!
-YES, if Mr. Cabasse silent yet the head of the ship, but ....
