SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 92/100
Bass
92/100
Dual 17 cm woofers (two 17ND36) and a claimed low-frequency extension to ~32 Hz suggest strong, well-extended bass for a mid-sized tower. Matches mid-tower band ceilings; no reviewer notes available to indicate boom or need for a sub.
Mid
93/100
Co-axial BC13 mid/tweeter provides coherent point-source midrange with likely excellent timbre and phase coherence through the crossover region (800–3,500 Hz). Spec-driven inference in absence of third-party listening notes.
Treble
92/100
Coaxial mid/tweeter arrangement and 24 kHz upper limit indicate detailed, refined treble with low risk of on-axis harshness. No reviews to flag brightness or grain.
Soundstage Imaging
94/100
Coaxial BC13 mid/tweeter promotes excellent imaging and stable, focused images; floorstanding cabinet and driver integration support wide, layered soundstaging in typical rooms.
Dynamics
89/100
175 W nominal handling, 1,200 W peak and 89 dB sensitivity indicate strong macro- and micro-dynamic capability, though sensitivity is moderate so ultimate slam depends on amplifier choice. No reviewer reports of headroom limits.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
92/100
102.6 cm tall, 28 kg speaker with premium Cabasse engineering implies rigid cabinetry and quality fit/finish; driver complement and coaxial module suggest careful crossover and driver selection.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive tower baseline applied. No DSP/app/streaming expected or penalized; standard binding-post connectivity assumed.
Value for Money
78/100
Listed price (35999.0) without regional context makes value judgment cautious. Performance-oriented features and Cabasse branding point to strong product quality, but lack of comparative review language prevents rating as exceptional value.

Honeycomb membrane bass driver
The 17ND36 bass driver, designed specifically for Murano, miniaturizes the expertise of the legendary 55 cm driver from LA SPHERE, allowing for deep and fast bass in a small-volume enclosure. Its concave membrane with a honeycomb structure features very high rigidity and excellent damping, allowing for large excursions without deformation. Guided by a long voice coil plunging into the 45 mm air gap of an oversized motor weighing four kilograms, this driver gives the Murano's bass the purity and solidity of crystal.
Bass slope adaptation
The 3 long curved ports of Murano Alto offer an extra measure of bass with remarkable richness and breadth. Depending on the room acoustics and the placement of the speakers, adding or removing a port plug allows you to refine the reproduction: either prioritize bass power or obtain the most beautiful extension into the deep bass.
