Ich verkaufe meine CANTON HC 100. Seit 40 Jahren täglich im Betrieb, davon 30 Jahre auf der Hutablage im Auto. Der Klang ist nach wie vor für die Größe sehr gut.
Das Chassis hat Gebrauchsspuren, was auf den Fotos nicht so gut zu erkennen ist.
Good buy. In good condition, €85 sits a touch above the €78 median for recent comparable listings, but still comfortably inside the normal band between €74 and €82—so this reads as fair to mildly firm, not overpriced.
That makes it an easy shortlist if the set is complete and the cabinets, drivers, and terminals are clean. Canton’s older compact speakers are generally liked for a balanced, easy-to-live-with sound and solid build, so the main upside here is getting a respectable pair at a sane ask rather than chasing a bargain-bin score. At this price, I’d mainly confirm originality and that both speakers play evenly.
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.
