* Die Box hat sehr empfindliche Kalottenhochtöner. Bei gebrauchten Boxen sollte man deshalb vor dem Kauf Probe hören. Defekte Hochtöner kann man bei Canton heute (2007) sogar noch reparieren lassen, wenn man sie einschickt! Kosten: ca. 70 €/Stück. Die Reparatur nennt sich bei Canton reconen. Jüngere Modelle hat Canton deshalb in der Rückwand mit einer herausschraubbaren Hochtonsicherung ausgestattet. Wer das selber nachrüsten will, benötigt dazu eine Sicherung (1,25 A Flink) und einen aufschraubbaren Sicherungshalter zum Einbauen. Die Sicherung wird in der Plusleitung zwischen Frequenzweiche und Hochtöner angeschlossen.
 +
* Die GLE 100 wurde als linke und rechte Box hergestellt, d. h. das Boxenpaar ist asymmetrisch, da der Hochtöner immer auf der Aussenseite angeordnet ist.

*Lying L/R as specified, i.e. tweeter/midrange inwards, they sound worlds better than standing.

*Doesn't look so great anymore, but ..... who wants to sound good, has to suffer!
 
−
*However, it makes sense to replace the crossover capacitors with new ones. It doesn't have to be the upper class Mundorf. But good IT Audyn make a difference. I can only advise that. Furthermore, it makes sense to replace the insulation with pyramid foam (5cm) and leave nothing else in it.

Then you search a long time to find something comparable. Precise, dry and airy bass, great mids and crystal clear highs....
 
−
Alright, spaciousness is not like a point source, but OK. Fits.

Have fun, with quite cheap, totally underrated speakers!

== Reports ==

* For rooms from 28 - 55 m² (manufacturer's specification).
 
−
* The speaker has very sensitive dome tweeters. Therefore, used speakers should be tested before buying. Defective tweeters can even be repaired by Canton today (2007), if you send them in! Costs: approx. 70 €/piece. The repair is called reconen at Canton. For this reason, Canton has equipped more recent models with a screw-out tweeter fuse in the rear panel. If you want to retrofit this yourself, you will need a fuse (1.25 A Flink) and a screw-on fuse holder to install it. The fuse is connected in the positive wire between crossover and tweeter.

The GLE 100 was manufactured as a left and right speaker, i.e. the speaker pair is asymmetrical, as the tweeter is always located on the outside.

* At that time a "high flyer". It should be noted that the tweeter is very sensitive. I used to kill 2 of them.

The last series has fuses in front of the tweeters.

Today the sound does not inspire me any more so. Find the treble are tuned too loud and from the voices missing the chest.
