I like the idea of a sphere. I always thought it would be interesting to hear a speaker that was spherical and pulse like inflating and deflating a balloon for a truly omnidirectional sound. I haven't come up with how to do it though. 😅
I've only heard these on RU-vid videos but the incredibly HUGE AND DEEP soundstage defies their size!!!!! An amazing feat of audio engineering!!! I'm a bassist and that bass guitar sounds INSANLEY GOOD!!! What band is that?
How would you connect this for an office setup with Mac mini? Can I use my Schitt Modi D/A to connect my Mac mini? Which sub can you use with it - seems like you cannot use the Pearl sub?
8:59 Unfortunate thing... I want my audio to be independent of Internet or other wireless connection. …and if it has a mic, I want to be able to switch it off with a hardware switch.
What is the best way to get the best sound quality out of this? Streaming from iPhone via Tidal Hifi? I ordered a set last night and hope to get them soon!
I wasn't in the sweet spot for this demo, so I couldn't do fair comparison. I love Cabasse with their sphere designs. I love that it's active and has DSP for the bass. The looks are polarizing like the Aurora by Aries Cerat, but truthfully I'd take both of those over most other traditional speakers I heard at the show.
They have been around 70+ years, you can read about them here -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabasse_(company). Some innovative stuff from driver design to use of sphere enclosures to avoid diffraction effects and increase soundstage. Not for everyone but something different than typical "box" type enclosures.
