Cabasse EGEA 3
French 3-way floorstanding speaker with a BC13 coaxial driver and two 17 cm Duocell woofers, for coherent, precise listening.
Description
The Egea 3 is a 3-way bass-reflex floorstanding speaker, designed and manufactured in France by Cabasse. It is aimed at listeners looking for coherent sound reproduction, built on a technology specific to the brand: the coaxial driver.
At the heart of the system sits the BC13 coaxial driver, which brings the midrange and treble onto a single radiating axis. This layout limits timing differences between frequencies and favours a precise soundstage, with good phase coherence. Bass is handled by two 17 cm drivers with Duocell cones, bass-reflex loaded to extend low-frequency reproduction. The transitions between the ways occur at 800 Hz and 4.4 kHz, crossover points that determine how the work is shared between the drivers. Frequency response extends from 55 Hz to 24 kHz, with a sensitivity of 90 dB and an impedance of 8 Ω, which makes the speaker compatible with amplifiers from modest to high power, the recommended range being 40 to 250 W.
This floorstanding speaker is aimed at music lovers wanting stereo listening at home, in a living room or a dedicated listening room, with a compact footprint thanks to the floorstanding format. Its 90 dB sensitivity and 8 Ω impedance allow it to work with many amplifiers, from low-power models to more powerful stages.

What to check before buying used
The BC13 coaxial driver deserves careful channel-by-channel listening: dull treble or a crackling midrange betrays a tired component, expensive to have repaired on its own. The Duocell cones of the two bass drivers age over time: check for cracks or hardened surrounds, which cause distortion in the bass. The bass-reflex ports and the solid 30 kg cabinet may also carry marks from knocks or poorly handled moves, worth examining before any transport.
