Very good speakers, they hold their own with anything in the $2000 range and at the current price they are a steal.

I am really enjoying these Minorca MC40's. I've only had them for a month and I have maybe 30 hours of burn-in on them, but they sound incredible already. I tested quite a few different bookshelf speakers. Originally I was only considering units with a folded ribbon tweeter, but when I came across the sale at Upscale Audio I wanted to give the Cabasse a try. It turned out to be a great decision. The Minorca sound is a perfect blend of crisp and airy highs without any harshness and rich, almost warm mids. I get excellent sound staging, and my listening room is far from perfect. The bass is a little thin but it's very tight, which I'm ok with because this is for 90% music and only the occasional movie. But I do have them paired with a Rythmik 12" sub to help with the low end. I'm powering them with the Cambridge Audio cxa-81 mkII and they work really, really well together. Perhaps my favorite attribute of the Minorca MC40 is that I can listen at low levels around 45-50 db and still get all of the same detail that I get at 75 db. So now having spent some time with Cabasse speakers, I'm hooked. I highly recommend taking advantage of Upscale's sale. You won't be disappointed.

Great speakers but one of mine had a large brown stain on the white cone, most likely from too much adhesive on the dust cap. I emailed upscale about it twice and never received a response.

These are outstanding loudspeakers. If I would've purchased these years ago, I would've saved thousands of dollars...

These speakers are just amazing. they replaced a set of B&W 606 S2's. Really opened up the soundstage. Hearing things I wasn't hearing on the B&W's. Don't think those are bad either but after a month of use, these outperform my previous speakers. thanks to everyone at Upscale for awesome service. I will be back for my next purchase for sure!!
