Verkeert in nieuwstaat, retour gekomen van een klant en nu scherp geprijsd! Nieuw en nu scherp geprijsd! De canton plus xl.3 Luidsprekers zijn compacte en krachtige speakers die zorgen voor een verras
Compared with the obvious alternative at this price point — a clean, working used subwoofer that lands around the middle of the market — €189 is well above the recent €50 median and even beyond the €150 75th percentile, so this is ambitious rather than fair. Against your own comp set, it’s priced at a premium that only makes sense if this specific unit is exceptionally complete, freshly serviced, or demonstrably mint.
What makes it worth considering is the usual Canton appeal: compact German subs tend to be tidy, musical, and easy to integrate for modest stereo or small-room home cinema use. If the driver is healthy, the amp is quiet, and the listing includes the original grille, feet, and cable, the buyer gets a practical little bass helper with decent resale appeal. At this level, though, I’d want clear proof of function and condition before paying up.
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.
