Canton gle 490.2 – Zeer mooi geluid de speakers zijn technisch volledig in orde en verkeren in nette gebruikte staat (zie foto). Deze canton’s leveren een open, gedetailleerd en tegelijkertijd ontspan
This is a fair ask, sitting just above the median of €246 and comfortably within the recent comparable range anchored by €185 at the low end and €248 at the high end. At €250, it is only a touch over the 75th percentile, so I would not call it expensive; it is basically market level for a clean, current listing.
That makes it a sensible buy if the pair is complete and in honest working order. The 490.2 is well-liked for easygoing, full-range sound with solid bass weight for the class, so the appeal is in getting a capable floorstander without paying inflated “project speaker” money. With condition listed as unknown, I’d mainly verify driver foam/surrounds, cabinet swelling, and matching serials or accessories, but there is no obvious pricing red flag here.
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.
