Description
The Cabasse MC170 Antigua is a 3-way bookshelf speaker built on the coaxial principle dear to the brand: midrange and treble are combined on a single axis thanks to the 10T15MC driver, complemented by a 17 cm long-throw woofer. This compact format aims for coherent sound reproduction without requiring a large speaker.
The coaxial principle places the emission point of the midrange and treble at a single location, which limits time delays between frequencies and promotes a stable sound image, even off the ideal listening axis. The 17 cm long-throw woofer allows for a wider cone excursion, useful for delivering firm bass despite the bookshelf format. Crossover frequencies are set at 700 Hz and 3,600 Hz, for a stated response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz. With a sensitivity of 88 dB and an impedance of 8 Ω (minimum 3.2 Ω), the speaker accepts a power of 75 W RMS, up to 550 W peak.
This model is aimed at those seeking a bookshelf speaker capable of fitting into a limited space without sacrificing the coherence of the sound image, whether on furniture, on stands or in a small listening room. Its coaxial design particularly benefits configurations where the listener is not always perfectly centred in front of the speakers.

What to check before buying used
On this coaxial model, the 10T15MC driver deserves careful inspection: a misalignment between midrange and treble or a slight dropout results in an unstable sound image. Also check the flexibility of the 17 cm long-throw woofer's suspension, as sagging or hardening affects bass performance. The cabinetry, in Antigua finish, should be examined for veneer chips, detachment or cabinet warping, which are essential for acoustic sealing.
