Cabasse's THE PEARL AKOYA serves up striking vocal immediacy and a surprisingly large, coherent soundstage from a compact spherical cabinet, driven by its tri-axial design and precise room‑correction DSP. Reviews praise punchy, controlled bass and airy treble that keep orchestral crescendos taut while revealing delicate detail; reviewers note excellent build and connectivity despite occasional app quirks (HiFi Choice, TAS Staff).
Pros
- Engaging, forward midrange that captures vocals and acoustic detail with immediacy.
- Wide, well-focused soundstage and stable imaging—especially convincing as a stereo pair.
- Surprising punch and controlled low-frequency impact for its size, giving orchestral and cinematic dynamics real weight.
- High-quality build, compact tri-axial engineering and comprehensive connectivity (Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, optical, USB) make it a versatile, self-contained system.
&
Cons
- Streaming app reliability can be erratic, causing inconsistent playback of some local file types.
- No Apple AirPlay support, which limits integration into mixed-brand multi‑room setups.
- Premium price relative to rivals—excellent engineering and sound, but value-conscious buyers may find better cost/performance elsewhere.
Sound Quality
91/100
Bass
91/100
With a 17cm/7" woofer and tri-axial design reviewers repeatedly praise surprising low-frequency power and extension into the 50–60Hz region, especially given the compact spherical enclosure. Some listeners noted a lack of the deepest sub-bass impact on heavily electronic material, but overall bass is punchy and controlled for its size (i.e. 'for its size' performance noted).
Mid
92/100
Multiple reviews highlight an engaging, forward, midrange-freighted presentation that captures vocals and acoustic detail (Damien Rice breathes, guitars and voices are very present). The midband is praised for clarity and emotional immediacy without sounding cold or etched.
Treble
89/100
Treble is generally clean, snappy and airy with good detail retrieval, though a couple of reviews note some slight roll-off at the very top; no persistent harshness or sibilance was reported. Overall the top end is refined but not hyper-extended.
Soundstage Imaging
92/100
Reviewers consistently describe a wide, open, and well-focused soundstage with stable imaging and a generous sweet spot, especially as a stereo pair. The curved baffle and tri-axial drivers help create a convincing sense of presence and placement.
Dynamics
93/100
The Akoya is noted for surprising punch and headroom (manufacturer 115dB spec cited), handling crescendos and movie dynamics with authority and minimal distortion. Reviewers described orchestral-scale dynamics and impactful transient response for the form factor.

Build Quality
93/100
Build and finish receive high marks: spherical BMC composite cabinet, multi-layer lacquer, gleaming trim and solid engineering for tri-axial driver mounting. Reviewers call the packaging and execution a 'marvel of packaging and sophistication.'
Features Connectivity
89/100
Comprehensive connectivity: Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, optical S/PDIF, 3.5mm analogue, micro‑USB for drives, and multi‑room/streaming app support with room-calibration DSP. Score trimmed slightly for erratic app behaviour reported and at least one review noting lack of AirPlay as an odd omission.
Value for Money
80/100
Sonically and industrially impressive, but reviewers repeatedly note a premium price (e.g. ~£1,599 / ~$1,900 each; TAS cited ~$3,800/pr) and competitors (passive or other integrated speakers) that may deliver similar performance per pound/dollar. App quirks and connectivity omissions reduce the overall value proposition somewhat.
