Reports

Canton LE 190 (beech-silver) in test at STEREOPLAY: Highlight STEREOPLAY: Highlight (until 11/04) 10/2004

test excerpt:

"...the LE 190 followed in the footsteps of the LE 109, which was regarded as a party speaker that was as inexpensive as it was high-class, with enjoyable and almost explosive over-all dynamics. The LE 190 played fresh and uncompressed, less bass and treble focused than its predecessor, giving vocals a bit more weight. The LE 190 surpassed this speaker in terms of cleanliness when it came to more powerful vocals...".

Conclusion:

Affordable and large-volume floorstanding speaker with state-of-the-art equipment and excellent efficiency. Emphasised fresh and uncompressed sound with powerful bass. Extremely much speaker for little money.

Price / performance: outstanding
