Cabasse Antigua MC170 Bookshelf Loudspeaker (pair)

A three-way, coaxial mid-tweeter passive speaker with a 7″ woofer

Placed on shelves or stands, the Antigua MC170 bookshelf speakers certainly impress with their easy sonic integration and musical versatility. This 3-way loudspeaker is designed for rich, ultra-dynamic sound reproduction and delivers all of Cabasse’s excellence in a small format.

The new two-way midrange/tweeter of the MC170 range based on the highly successful unit in the Cabasse Eole coaxial satellite. lt offers a faithful reproduction of timbres and provides a soundstage with unrivaled realism and depth in its price segment, for both stereo and home cinema use.

The specific shape of the 6.7″ driver unit was designed by Cabasse for maximum mechanical rigidity and low-frequency use, which results in a deeper bass without coloration. The voice coil mounted on Kapton is perfectly ventilated and radiates over 360° and the high power handling and its acceleration abilities are outstanding.

The Cabasse measuring protocol in the anechoic chamber takes into account measurements on the listening axis and at 360° around the speaker for perfect control of the directivity and global power output in keeping with the Cabasse HDSE principle (Homogeneous Distribution of the Sonic Energy). Direct and reflected sounds are homogeneous, the soundstage wide and stable.
