CABASSE Murano Any one hear these yet?


Curious if any of you folks have had a chance to listen to these speakers?

Cabasse is extremely underrated and probably would not be amongst the first speakers most would recommend. The brand is partly at fault though, because outside of Europe they are pushing mainly their Artis and Pearl range. 

The first time I've heard the Cabasse Riga I wanted them so badly that I immediately sold my Triangle Comete 40th and bought them the next day. The Rigas and the Baltics are that good. Yes, piano music sounds phenomenal with the Cabasse (I am a classical pianist). The Murano is one rung lower but from Steve's videos seem to retain most of the qualities. You would not go wrong with them. 

Based solely on Steve's enthusiasm... I took the plunge (a quite expensive one, at that) and purchased a pair.

For context: I built my (humble) system solely upon opinions/comments from Steve's YT channel: Schiit Rag2 fully loaded, Elac Uni-fi Reference (b/c they were often visible in the background regardless of video topic) [Now for sale], turntable is a Pro-ject (mid-level: 2Experience SB with an added Ortofon bronze). 

His words: "… blown away," and I have to say I am too. It is a major difference to my ears. Clarity, tone, imaging… I'm very happy! I don't have enough experience to give a proper audiophile critique, but I am so impressed.

Hope that helps
