Guy Bourreau, Cabasse general manager, says of this new partnership, “Cabasse and TEAC have shared the same commitment to create innovative products for over five decades: Cabasse as the leading brand in high fidelity loudspeakers and TEAC as a world leader in recording technology.

This partnership will therefore create a great opportunity for US customers to have access to the best of both technologies and share the passion of two great teams for innovation and true music reproduction.”

Tim Crable, Director of sales for the ESOTERIC Division of TEAC of America adds, ‘The synergy of ESOTERIC electronics and Cabasse single point source loudspeakers is something that must be heard by every serious audiophile.  When first introduced to Cabasse technology mated with ESOTERIC players and amps, I was astounded at the clarity, definition, sound stage presence and depth.  

Both Cabasse and ESOTERIC share a common theme in product design, that being the absolute best quality products creating the absolute best, most listener involving, sound reproduction.  The Cabasse R&D team not only built the best sounding loudspeaker but has packaged it in a large variety of product configurations so every listener can enjoy Cabasse sound in whichever style of speaker they choose, traditional, Lifestyle or integrated into their home.”

Notes to editors

Founded in 1950 by Georges Cabasse, the Cabasse firm inherited not only its creator’s name, but also his genius. Georges Cabasse is from the world of music, and he is gifted with a special talent. He has a unique memory for sounds. Probably a gift from his ancestors, hailing back to a stringed instrument maker who crafted the first violin signed Cabasse in 1740 at Mirecourt in the Vosges Mountains. Five generations of craftsmen followed him, pursuing the tradition and supplying Europe with violins, violas and cellos, most of which are still being played in orchestras today. The fact remains that Georges Cabasse’s obsession is to perfectly reproduce the concerts he loves, without any alteration, coloration or distortion in the sound. This boundless passion has led him to relentlessly innovate, transmit and share his exacting requirements with the rest of the Cabasse team, so that all ears can enjoy the essence and thrill of pure sound. Today, the Cabasse range presents one of the most complete portfolios of

loudspeaker products for the hi-fi, home cinema and custom installation markets, from discrete in-ceiling speakers through to the range topping and class leading La Sphere audiophile speakers.
