“I have two reviews posted below, and I need to add this. Grab one of these if they are still available, they have 5 way binding posts on the back for use with any speaker you own. I just plugged in a pair of Magnepan LRS+ speakers and am being impressed beyond the selling price of this Pearl Keshi unit. This is an incredible pairing to say the least. Is it the best? Probably not, there is always better. But, I have thrown a few amps at these Maggies, and all I can say, is that this Cabasse integrated is blowing me away. Separation, soundstage, dynamics, hitting on all 8 cylinders in my living room right now. And it is Roon Ready, what more could a guy ask for? Grab one while you can at this price point, you will not be disappointed. ;-)”

“This will be my second Pearl Keshi 2.1 system. Yes, these are that good, especially now that they are truly Roon Ready! If you are a Roon fan, you will understand, as Roon takes this incredible little system to the next level. Do not let the small size fool you, as it will fill a large room with incredible sound, punching way above the current sale price that Upscale is offering. Get one while you can, and thank me later. ;-)”

“I am truly astonished at the sound reproduction of this system. I purchased this to replace an older, much larger powered speaker and subwoofer stereo set up. There is no comparison, the Keshi effortlessly fills the room with accurate and detailed sound. Plenty of low end punch, and very clear voices whether speaking dialogue, or singing. I am so glad I took the plunge, even having not directly listened to the Keshi prior. I feel as if I have truly stepped into the high-end, without having spent high-end money. The Keshi, once set up, calibrated, and tweaked a bit more to my liking, is truly holographic in its presentation. The Keshi just disappears, and all I hear is the music, not the speaker system. Thanks Upscale for providing a great price on a truly great product. The only thing holding me back from buying another, just to have, is my fiancé. I already own far too many speakers as it is. If this system has the features you are looking for, and especially at the price, just hit buy!”

“I saw the Pearl Keshi system for the first time as part of a video from the Audiophile Junkie on YouTube. I have always been a fan of Sub/Sat systems, and have owned several different models made by Cambridge Soundworks (Older models designed by Henry Kloss). What I witnessed in the YouTube video was very hard to believe, as I was under the impression what was being demonstrated at the time was one of the much larger systems that Cabasse makes. Boy, was I wrong! After seeing the initial video, and following the YouTube rabbit hole searching for reviews of the Keshi, or even just some sound demoes, I couldn't get these out of my head. Purchasing Cabasse speakers is truly my first step into the higher end of audiophile equipment, so this was a big step for me. Since they are on sale for about half of their normal street price, I took my small tax return and purchased a black set of the Keshi for our bedroom system, replacing a very modest Edifier 1850DB powered stereo speaker set, and an old Athena 8 inch powered sub. Once I set the Keshi up and ran the calibration process, I was treated to the kind of sound I could only dream of. These speakers truly disappear in space, and I am now hearing amazingly holographic imaging. The sound fills the space and is very balanced from top to bottom. I don't know what kind of sorcery or dark magic the Cabasse team was dabbling in when they designed these speakers, but it was the right kind in my opinion! These are worth the cost of entry and beyond their full street pricing, but at half off, they are a steal!! If I had the funds available, I would buy another set just to have for future use when I move into a different home. They are that kind of good!! I can't recommend these any higher!”

“This little system, the Pearl Keshi 2.1, sounds so incredibly good! These sound HUGE, they disappear in the room, very detailed in a good way, no rough edges, the DAC is very detailed, and the top end is controlled perfectly, with a very controlled low end, there is nothing boomy or bloated with the bass and nothing fatiguing in the top end or midrange. The instrument separation is first class, it is so easy to focus on each instrument along with layering and depth. Then the voicing, this has some of the best voicing I have heard, the human voice, Cabasse nailed it with this midrange design. Strings, fingers on the piano keys, listen to Felt by Nils Frahm, just incredible on this system. The streamer alone, the sound quality, is worth the purchase. And yes, these will go loud without distorting, simply insane what Cabasse did here. I would love to get another one of these systems, just to have it! And Chris, thank you for recommending this fantastic little system! Your description was 100% spot on.”

“This is an awesome piece at this price. It's been streaming Tidal in a big master bedroom for a week now and sounds amazing. The app is solid, took about two minutes for the system to set itself to the room. I read a couple reviews of the system that claimed the bass was overpowering, but that's really not the case. Props to Richard for moving my order along.”

“Having owned some pretty expensive gear, I was apprehensive about this system. I’ve never been a fan of sub/sat systems. This system is so damn good. I really can’t believe it. The sub blends perfectly with the satellite’s, and makes it so even if the sub is on the ground the bass sounds like its emanating from the satellites. App is great and the room correction feature is perfect.”
