Weighing in at 60 pounds a piece, the Bahia are fairly light for their size, but quite rigid - again, a typically French approach to loudspeaker design. The review pair were beautifully finished in Santos, a dark reddish wood similar in color to mahogany. Of course, Cabasse has taken the high road in their move to an international style with their new Altura line of high-end loudspeakers, a line composed of an active subwoofer, a center-channel, a stand-mount and the Bahia, the three-way, four driver, ported floor-standing top of the line model. ![]() Still, like many companies around the globe, Cabasse is moving their products to a more neutral position, though, thankfully, still obviously French. This is a sound that plays well in the home market, where tubes are often used to add a touch of warmth and the typical room does not suck up as much bass as is the norm here in the US. A bit light and forward, but with amazing speed and dynamics, in the wrong setup many Cabasse loudspeakers have come off a touch assertive. ![]()
