Reviews

A fantastic loudspeaker, which can be bought second hand for very little money. Excellent voice reproduction, outstanding resolution and a fabulous low bass even at brute levels. Be careful with the midrange drivers, they are no longer available from Canton as spare parts and would have to be rewound - this of course takes time. However, it would take a lot of effort to destroy them. In rooms up to about 35m² a subwoofer is absolutely superfluous, even in sourround mode with DVD, depending of course on the desired maximum level.
