The auto-on circuit detects the input signal and powers up the amplifier; if the signal stays away, the Sub 8 switches itself into standby at under 0.5 watts.

Beyond that it still provides a foundation, but has to work noticeably harder.

Each set contains one speaker and one stand; in the StreamCONTROL app you assign left and right channels to two Akoya. A single set plays in mono and suits secondary rooms well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Akoya in this set Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, since the Pearl series' 2025 certification. In Roon's partner overview, the Akoya is listed both as Roon Ready and as Roon Tested. All you need is current firmware from the StreamCONTROL app. The speaker doesn't support MQA or aptX; Bluetooth runs with SBC and AAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I still hang the Akoya on the wall later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

The stand is a fixed part of the set, you don't need to order it separately. For a stereo pair you need two of these sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow tall is the stand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e84 cm, with a footprint of 38 × 38 cm and 15 kg of weight. That puts the sphere's coaxial driver roughly at ear height when you're sitting. The cables run invisibly through both stand tubes, so nothing is visible at the connection panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need two sets for stereo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Each Pearl is a complete system with its own amplifiers, converter and streamer and is sold individually. Two sets give you a stereo pair at identical height, which you pair in the app. A single set works convincingly as a mono solution in a side room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy a stand at all?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the sphere radiates all around and sounds most open when freestanding. On a sideboard, the surface reflects the sound, and in a corner the bass builds up. The stand brings the driver to ear height and creates distance from walls, so CRCS calibration has less to straighten out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the warranty last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe statutory manufacturer warranty applies. Anyone who registers the set with Cabasse within 60 days of purchase also receives an extended warranty of five years on the drivers and two years on the electronics. We handle this for you as an authorised dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy The Pearl with stand at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we look at the speaker, stand and placement as a whole and tell you where the sphere really belongs in your room.

You don't need more of a system than that – no rack, no separate amplifier, no cable mess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Cabasse The Pearl Keshi?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause Pearl technology is packed into the smallest enclosure in the family. The satellites run the coaxial Dom55 mid\/tweeter, the subwoofer has a 17 cm HELD woofer that reaches down to 30 Hz. Cabasse specifies 1050 W RMS for the system – 450 W of that for the bass, 300 W each for the two satellites. For a system that fits on half a metre of sideboard, that's not nothing. CRCS room correction measures via a built-in microphone and irons out whatever your living room does acoustically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA surprisingly grown-up stereo image: vocals sit cleanly in the centre, instruments can be located, and the bass seems to come from nowhere – because nobody expects that much from such a small sphere. The wide dispersion of the coaxial satellites takes away the sweet-spot fussiness of the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStreaming is an option, not a requirement: Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Napster and internet radio run over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth are on board, and if you maintain a Roon library, you can add the Keshi as a Roon Ready zone.

Bottom line: if you want to fill an open gallery or run home-cinema levels, go for The Pearl or The Pearl Akoya instead. And if you listen to vinyl, you need a phono preamp and go in via the jack input – there's no line-level RCA input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most compact Pearl system, and still a fully-fledged setup.

Services like Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer or Spotify are an option, not a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big a room can the Keshi handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Keshi is built for small to medium rooms. Thanks to the wide dispersion of the spherical satellites and the automatic room correction in the subwoofer, it fills such rooms evenly without you having to hunt for a sweet spot. For large, open living areas we'd recommend The Pearl or The Pearl Akoya instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect my TV to the Keshi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, via the optical S\/PDIF input. That routes the TV sound through the subwoofer and the two satellites without needing a soundbar. The Keshi has no HDMI ARC socket – so check whether your TV has an optical output. Alternatively, use the analogue 3.5 mm jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Keshi work with Roon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the Keshi is listed as Roon Ready with Roon Labs and appears in your Roon setup as its own zone. That lets you control it from the same library as your other devices. Without Roon you can use the Cabasse StreamCONTROL app, AirPlay 2 or Spotify Connect instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I later expand the Keshi into a multiroom system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Via the Cabasse StreamCONTROL app, the Keshi can be linked with additional Cabasse streaming speakers into a multi-zone system – different music in each room, or the same music everywhere. AirPlay 2 is also on board, so you can play multiple rooms at once from the Apple ecosystem too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Cabasse The Pearl Keshi at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we'll tell you whether the Keshi suits your room – and when a larger Pearl model would be the better choice.

Internet radio, music files from your NAS or home network, and the wired inputs all work without any subscription. You can use Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer and Spotify, but you don't have to – and via AirPlay 2 you can play anything running on your iPhone anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I mount the satellites on the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe satellites sit in adjustable metal brackets that serve as both a stand and a wall mount – you don't need any extra accessories. The connection cables to the subwoofer are three metres long, and they practically disappear against a light-coloured wall. A calibration microphone is already built into the subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere's the best place to put the subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spherical subwoofer is much less fussy about placement than a classic cube sub. A free position on the floor, not directly in a corner, is a good starting point. After that, CRCS room correction measures automatically via the microphone and evens out any excess. If in doubt, we'll plan the placement with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Keshi support Roon and MQA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoon yes, MQA no. Roon Labs lists the Keshi as Roon Ready, so it appears as its own zone in your Roon library. Cabasse does not state MQA decoding for the Keshi. High-resolution files up to 24 bit \/ 192 kHz, plus DSD64 and DSD128, play without any trouble, though.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Keshi work well with a TV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, via the optical input. The TV sound then runs through the subwoofer and satellites instead of the TV's own speakers. The Keshi doesn't offer HDMI ARC, so your TV needs an optical digital output. For the screen in your living room, it's a quiet, elegant alternative to a soundbar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Cabasse The Pearl Keshi at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause with us you get experience instead of spec sheets.

That's why the sphere doesn't wander across the sideboard when things get deep. A built-in microphone measures the room (CRCS), and the electronics adapt the frequency response to the placement. Bottom line: this is no Bluetooth tub for the bathroom, but a small hi-fi speaker that just happens to have a battery too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNetwork via Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 5, mesh-capable) or Ethernet, plus AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, UPnP\/DLNA and the StreamCONTROL app for multiroom.

Streaming stays an option and not a requirement: connect your TV via the optical input, any analogue source via the 3.5 mm jack, and internet radio costs nothing.

Honestly: it's not a weatherproof outdoor speaker – Cabasse doesn't state an IP rating, so rain and continuous outdoor use aren't its home. If you want real stereo, you need two spheres, since a single one plays mono.

Cabasse sells the Myuki as a single unit that plays in mono on its own. Two spheres can be paired into a stereo pair in the StreamCONTROL app, but that's a deliberate additional decision, not the state it ships in. If you want to upgrade later, just buy a second sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the battery play for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCabasse states up to twelve hours per charge, depending on volume and source. It's recharged via USB-C with the included mains adapter, and it keeps playing indefinitely while plugged in. The manufacturer doesn't disclose how long a full charge takes or how large the battery is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Myuki have a USB audio input or HDMI?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, neither. The USB-C port is exclusively for power and charging, and there's no HDMI at all. For the TV, use the optical Toslink input; for a turntable with phono stage or other analogue sources, the 3.5 mm jack. Wirelessly, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and your home network are also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Myuki work with Roon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it's been Roon Ready since the 2025 firmware update. In Roon's official device list, The Pearl Myuki is listed as a certified Roon Ready model, so you connect it directly as a Roon zone instead of via AirPlay 2. It's worth checking your firmware version before the first attempt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Myuki outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a dry terrace or balcony, sure – in the rain, no. Cabasse states no protection rating against water and dust, so it's a mobile indoor speaker. For genuine outdoor use, we'll advise you on models built for that.

Each sphere brings its own streamer, DAC and four amplifiers with a combined 3700 W RMS. A preamp or power amp is unnecessary – power, network and a source are all you need. That makes the Pelegrina a complete system in two speakers, with no rack and no cable clutter behind it. All you connect is what you actually want to listen to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I get the Pelegrina as a single unit, or only as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly as a pair. Cabasse offers the flagship exclusively as a stereo pair, while the smaller Pearl spheres are also available individually. Both cabinets have their own electronics and are calibrated to the room together. The official Cabasse price list also lists the Pelegrina explicitly as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Pelegrina without a streaming subscription?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

Services like Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, Spotify or Napster can be added later – they're an option, not a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it make sense to add a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The large HELD woofer reaches down to 10 Hz, which leaves nothing missing in a living room. Cabasse also doesn't list a dedicated subwoofer output for the Pelegrina in the datasheet. If you're still considering an extension, we'll check the options with the distributor beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat room size does the Pelegrina need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium to large living rooms; the trade press recommends 20 to 60 square metres. The automatic room correction adapts it to the setup, but the flagship only shows its full capability with some space around it.

Cabasse had the Pearl series certified via a firmware update in 2025; the Pearl Sub appears on the official Roon partner list as Roon Ready. So you integrate it directly as a zone in Roon. Also on board are AirPlay 2, Bluetooth 4.2 and high-resolution multiroom over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Pearl Sub have an HDMI input?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, there's no HDMI or eARC. For the TV you use the optical S\/PDIF input, which practically every TV has. Analogue sources connect via RCA, and a USB port accepts music from a hard drive or stick. On the network side, everything runs via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Cabasse The Pearl Sub at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you whether the white sphere really works in your living room – acoustically and visually.

The set consists of one The Pearl active speaker and one The Pearl Stand in white, plus a Bluetooth remote, power cable and instructions.

The 10 S2 is a 3-way bass reflex system whose four 79 mm aluminum woofers fire at an angle upward; two of them additionally carry the Atmos height channels and bounce the effects off the ceiling back to the sofa. Suddenly the helicopter sits above you instead of in front of you. In front of that work two 19 mm fabric tweeters and two 50 mm aluminum midrange drivers, a front-firing passive radiator handles the bass. Four Class D amplifier channels with a combined 300 watts of system power supply the energy. Three HDMI inputs accept players, the HDMI output supports eARC and thus pulls high-bitrate soundtracks back out of the TV too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first thing you notice is that voices come from the middle of the picture again instead of a gap behind the panel. Then comes the width: the stage clearly extends beyond the 99 centimeters of the housing. And then, when the soundtrack allows it, height is added – rain, rotors, church reverb. The 10 S2 treats music maturely, it doesn't sound thin even at room volume. The height plane is a reflection trick, not a ceiling install, you should know that. But it's a trick that works once the ceiling plays along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton Smart Soundbar 10 S2 suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: The 10 S2 is for you if you want real surround sound including a height plane under a large TV, without building speakers into the ceiling. It's not the right choice if your living room has a high sloped or wood ceiling, because then the height channels lack a reflection surface and the premium over the 9 S2 fizzles out. Honestly: measure your ceiling height before deciding. If you want to physically feel deep bass, plan for an additional subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 S2 pulls off the trick of getting a credible height plane out of a 6.4-centimeter-flat housing, while staying a single device instead of a cable jungle.

The only output is the mono subwoofer RCA with a maximum of 2 volts, whose level follows the volume control. It's meant for an active subwoofer, not headphones.

Inside the cabinet works a three-way bass reflex system with four 100 mm aluminum woofers, four 50 mm aluminum midrange drivers and two 19 mm fabric tweeters, crossed over at 150 and 3,000 Hz, vented via a rear-firing bass reflex port. It goes down to 35 Hz, and without an additional subwoofer in the room. Dolby Atmos and DTS-HD are decoded, three HDMI inputs accept players, the HDMI output handles eARC. Music runs via AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, UPnP or Bluetooth, controlled via app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSix centimeters of height suggest little, but the cabinet is 33 centimeters deep – and that's exactly where the sound comes from. Films get a foundation you feel on the sofa, dialogue stays clear because four dedicated midrange drivers carry the speech range. The height information is computed rather than mirrored off the ceiling: the soundstage gets bigger and airier, but objects aren't pinpointed precisely above you. Honestly, that's the better trade for most living rooms – you feel bass every evening, you rarely hear rain from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton Smart Sounddeck 100 S2 suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: the white deck belongs in bright living rooms where the TV sits on a sideboard and nobody wants three devices plus a subwoofer. It's the wrong form factor if your TV hangs on the wall, because then it stays a pedestal with no purpose. Also check footprint and weight: 100 × 33 centimeters of contact area, maximum 40 kilograms. Anyone expecting genuine effects from above should know that the height plane is virtual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA device that delivers more bass than its six centimeters of height would suggest, while elegantly solving the cable question.
