Die eine Box hat hier und da ein bisschen was abbekommen - Kratzer oben und eine Delle im Gitter, siehe Bilder. Bei der anderen fehlt ein Gummifuß. Ansonsten in sehr gutem Zustand. Inklusive Kontrolleinheit mit Netzteil 'Canton Control Unit' (Blackbox) zur Frequnzgangentzerrung. Man braucht schon ein bisschen Leistung im Verstärker, aber dann drücken die Boxen eure Musik so was von nach vorne... :))
This is a buyer’s market for this category: at €654, the ask lands essentially on top of the €653 median and just above the €652 midpoint of your recent comparable EUR listings, so it reads as fair rather than aggressive. It is not a bargain versus the €584 25th percentile, but it is close enough to market that a clean example at “excellent” condition is easy to justify.
That matters because this model is well-regarded for a full-bodied, dynamic presentation and a scale that suits serious stereo listening, especially if you want a floorstander with weight and punch rather than a polite sound. The upside here is the condition: if cabinets, drivers, and any matching control unit are all present and tidy, this is the kind of vintage-hi-fi buy that can deliver a lot of speaker for the money; I’d mainly confirm originality and completeness before pulling the trigger.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Canton traces its roots to 1972, when four hi-fi enthusiasts—Hubert Milbers, Otfried Sandig, Wolfgang Seitkritt, and Günther Seitz—founded the company in the small German town of Weilrod, near Frankfurt. Registering the name as a blend of the Latin "cantare" (to sing) and German "Ton" (musical tone), they began operations in a repurposed village schoolhouse with 35 employees assembling speaker enclosures. Still family-owned and led by descendants like Günther Seitz, Canton embodies enduring German engineering precision, manufacturing primarily in Niederlauken and Weilrod.
The brand focuses squarely on loudspeakers, offering over 300 models across 12 series tailored to diverse budgets, room sizes, and applications—from compact bookshelf designs and the pioneering 1979 sub/sat system to high-end Reference lines and wireless innovations. While speakers dominate, Canton also produces complementary hi-fi components, blending traditional cabinetry with digital amplification advancements, all subjected to rigorous quality controls.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end mainstay in the global hi-fi market, Canton commands respect for its "pure music" philosophy, exporting to 53 countries with a reputation for reliable, elegant performance that appeals to discerning buyers seeking value without compromise. Independent of corporate conglomerates, it remains a smart, appreciating investment for audiophiles valuing Made-in-Germany craftsmanship.
