Inspired by Venice’s most iconic and historic bridge, this audio system embodies the union between classic Hi-Fi and the connected technologies developed by Cabasse over the past decade. It features the brand’s finest acoustic and software innovations, housed in a pair of compact, connected active speakers with smooth, rounded lines— evoking the refined design of the Cabasse Murano.

A sound with remarkable dynamics and presence for a bookshelf speaker

Although very compact, the RIALTO speakers have the remarkable ability to convey the emotion and impact of live sound, with vocals that stand out and instruments that fill the space. They deliver the full dynamics and precision of high-resolution recordings—a technological feat made possible by numerous Cabasse innovations:

Patented HELD (High Excursion Low Distortion) woofers

Capable of delivering powerful, deep, and precise bass with virtually no distortion. Featuring a diameter of only 17 cm, the driver is designed to allow a very long excursion without the voice coil leaving the magnetic field, ensuring maximum impact without distortion..

Perfect synergy between amplification and speakers.

Through the patented DEAP™ technology (Digital Enhancement of Acoustical Performance), developed by Cabasse’s R&D teams, this technology enhances speaker performance via multi-band dynamic signal processing with feedback loops, allowing full use of the available amplification power for distortion-free peak output.

Three drivers aligned on the same axis.

This coaxial technology, developed by Cabasse as early as 1952 and continuously perfected since, allows all sound waves to emanate from a single point source, ensuring they propagate coherently and naturally, without interference or artificial coloration of the sound.

A VERSATILE AUDIO SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR BOTH HI-FI AND TV!

RIALTO allows you to listen to all sources and music platforms in stereo, and also features a TV input that delivers an incredible dynamic experience for every movie. Additionally, the volume can be controlled using your TV remote thanks to the integrated eARC technology when your speakers are connected.

AN INTEGRATED, TOUCH-SENSITIVE AND UPGRADEABLE CONTROLLER

RIALTO features an elegant built-in touch display on its main speaker — a refined and intuitive way to control your listening experience. Effortlessly adjust the volume using the rotary dial, switch between sources, or add and edit your favorite radio stations — all without opening the app.The full-color LCD screen also displays album artwork as your music plays, adding a visual touch to your experience. As with all Cabasse connected systems, regular software updates keep the screen interface evolving with new features and enhancements.

A SLEEK AND SOPHISTICATED DESIGN THAT BLENDS INTO YOUR INTERIOR

Available in white or black finishes, RIALTO is an elegant bookshelf system designed to complement any interior style. Its 13 cm coaxial carbon fiber midrange-tweeter is framed by a brushed aluminum trim, adding a refined touch. A chrome-finished base lifts the speaker for a light, floating appearance, while a magnetic metal grille provides both protection and a clean, sophisticated look.

SOUND PERFECTLY TUNED TO YOUR SPACE !

Worthy of the most high-end systems, RIALTO features a built-in microphone and was meticulously engineered to deliver an exceptional listening experience through Cabasse’s patented automatic room calibration technology. Using the Cabasse StreamCONTROL app, users can further personalize their sound with innovative optimization tools designed to adapt seamlessly to both their interior spaces and personal preferences.

Overall Score 90/100

Nicely Roasted

Small but mighty, the RIALTO delivers room-filling, distortion-free bass and a wide, detailed soundstage thanks to its coaxial drivers and powerful built‑in amplification. Cabasse’s DSP and built‑in microphone yield precise room calibration, while the integrated streamer/DAC/HDMI-eARC makes it a compact all‑in‑one system. The treble is smooth and refined, favoring musicality over forwardness for fatigue‑free listening.

Soundnews

"**It is an authentic gemstone for the recovering audiophile and the average music lover.**"

The Absolute Sound

"These speakers hold their own with tight distortion-free bass well down to the advertised roll off at 30 hz."

Pros

Powerful, tight low end that stays distortion‑free down toward the advertised 30 Hz, driven by the HELD woofer and abundant built‑in amplification.
Exceptional imaging and a very low noise floor—reviewers note a "pitch‑black" background and wide, deep soundstage that surfaces microdetail.
Full-featured, all‑in‑one design: onboard streamer, high‑resolution DAC, HDMI‑eARC and extensive I/O plus automatic DSP room calibration and tuning via the StreamCONTROL app.

Cons

No true gapless digital playback on the native app—some listeners heard quiet ticks and short dropouts between tracks.
Networking the pair can introduce latency between primary and secondary speakers unless linked via optical or Ethernet, adding setup complexity for some users.

Sound Quality

90/100

Bass

92/100

Multiple review passages praise the High-Excursion 6.7" woofer and report tight, distortion-free output down to the advertised 30 Hz. Reviewer describes the low end as 'significant' and even 'had me questioning...physics' — excellent performance for its size.

Mid

90/100

Coaxial 5" mid/tweeter and smooth midrange response yield clear, believable vocals and natural timbre; reviewer credits the speaker's smoothness for vocal clarity and coherence.

Treble

87/100

Treble is described as slightly laid-back and smoothing harshness (violins and cymbal attacks are tamed). Detail is present without bite, favoring refinement over forwardness.

Soundstage Imaging

92/100

Reviewer reports a pitch-black background, highly resolved images, wide/deep spaciousness and excellent extraction of image from the speakers — very strong imaging and soundstage for the format.

Dynamics

90/100

Ample built-in amplification and low noise floor allow strong micro- and macro-dynamic contrasts; reviewer notes realistic snare impact and authoritative transient control.

Build Quality

88/100

Fit-and-finish in matte black/white is praised and makes the ~$4k price feel reasonable; drivers (coaxial mid/tweeter and HELD woofer) and apparent enclosure engineering are noted positively.

80/100

Passive baseline applied.

Value for Money

90/100

Reviewer states you'd be hard-pressed to find a system that sounds this good under $4k; given the performance and integrated electronics, the unit represents strong value at the listed $2,995–$3,995 range.
