"Chicly designed, perfectly finished, sensibly equipped and fitted to a high standard, Canton's smallest Reference series floorstanding speaker presents itself in our listening room, where it impresses not only with its chic appearance but also with its excellent sonic qualities. Here, the Reference 7.2 DC proves to be a true all-rounder ..."


  • Test in Area DVD:

"Reference;

"The Canton Reference 7.2 DC is a sovereign speaker that exceeds the usual standards in its price class and does very well in the price league up to 2500 EUR (per speaker). The speaker is extremely crisp and impulsive, it is tonally neutral and offers a bass that is remarkable for a floorstanding speaker with moderate dimensions. The excellent detachment of the sound from the speaker proves the premium level as well as the spatial imaging and the enormous power in the high frequency range. ..."


  • Test in Image-HIFI 4/2009:
