Cabasse launches another one of its little gems, after the iO, known as the powerful Alcyone.
Cabasse Alcyone speakers are no wider than 4 inches in diameter and weigh 700 grams. Fitted with the same smart magnetic device as iO, the Alcyone satellite is very easy to position either on a shelf,on wall or on the optional stand. The wide bandwidth unit of the Alcyone satellite has been especially designed in Plouzané to provide high efficiency and smoothly balanced response when mounted in a tiny sphere. The 5.1 system consists in a Santorin 17 subwoofer ( with a 17cm / 6.5" woofer and a 100 W amplifier), 5 satellites and a full set of cables for immediate install.
These little beauties are available in glossy black for the satellites and satin black for the Santorin 17 for perfect match with high-end flat screens as well as glossy white for the satellites and satin white for the subwoofer for trendy integration in modern housing. The optional pair of stands blends technology and esthetical design.
If you like the idea of the optional stand, as you can see from the picture, it’s made of three light but rigid carbon sticks link up the top magnetic cup to the heavy base. The speaker cable can be placed inside one of the carbon sticks and the magnetic cup enables to tilt and swivel the satellite in every direction. The stands are available in black, the sticks being carbon black of course.
The retail price for Alcyone system: 799 € and 249€ for the set of 2 stands. They’ll be available in September.
