Canon bought venerable French manufacturer, Cabasse, in 2006. The same year, Cabasse released La Spère.

Any idea what year the photo is from? Mid 70's? -

The year is 1978 or '79. Good job on identifying the gear Mark.
-
Dang! Sorry!
There's a barely visible Nak 700 in the picture on the right, too, isn't there?
(just noticed the four knobs -- most of the component is nigh-on invisible -- 1970s stealth technology a la Nak?!)

What kind of mean person would make some poor flunky put an Ampzilla and a Dreadnought on the top shelf?!?!?
You can tell they weren't in earthquake country. -

I didn't enlarge -- I just used the Force.
That plus the fact that I spent way too much time hangin' around stereo stores (Soundscape, The Discerning Ear, High Fidelity Center, Gramophone, Ltd., Gordon Miller Music, Stansbury Stereo, Custom Music, and Myer-EMCO, in roughly that order) in those years.

Wow! If you spent equal time in record stores, assuming there were enough hours left in your day to make it equal. You'd probably have mountains of records like George Grand (of Jersey).

There are... quite a few... records here.
Some of them came from Mr. George Grand (of the Jersey Grands), in fact.

The truth is out there.

Anybody ever heard of these, from Canon, about 20 years ago (not sure of the details)? Downward firing, wide dispersion, or something like that.
