* 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 line between crossover and tweeter.

* Die Box hat sehr empfindliche Kalottenhochtöner. Bei gebrauchten Boxen sollte man deshalb vor dem Kauf Probe hören. Jüngere Modelle haben deshalb in der Rückwand eine herausschraubbare Hochtonsicherung. Für defekte Hochtöner erhält man bei Canton heute sogar noch Ersatz! Kosten: ca. 70 €/Stück.

== Reviews ==
 
The sound of the speaker is outstanding! Here are excerpts from previous reviews:
 
 
 
*Entertainment Electronics
 
"In absolute terms, however, the GLE 70 is to be regarded as a top speaker in its class. It stands out due to the clean workmanship, the very good equipment, the high power handling, the good sound and last but not least the comparatively very reasonable price. It is therefore definitely to be recommended."
 
*HiFi Stereophony
 
"Canton's GLE 70 was the outright favourite of the test field for the jury. It was at the same time described as the speaker with the most pronounced character among the six testers. It received top scores on no less than 21 of the 46 test attributes, often well ahead of the runner-up."
 
*Fono Forum
 
"Good efficiency, wide dispersion angle and balanced frequency response are the technical characteristics of the GLE 70. Sonically, it belongs to the top group with a rather free sound image and little coloration. ... Clean sound definition in practically all areas was attested to the GLE 70 by all judges. The loudspeaker collected plus points especially for its largely balanced and pleasant sound character as well as a spatially three-dimensional reproduction of the sound events."
