Gloednieuw product, nu scherp geprijsd! De canton power sub 12 s2 actieve subwoofer is een krachtige 12 inch subwoofer die zorgt voor diepe en indrukwekkende basweergave binnen iedere home cinema of h
At €599, this sits well above the recent used-market median of €197 and also above the €487 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair for a typical used listing. It is not in bargain territory; you’re paying a clear premium over most recent comps.
That said, this is a substantial home-cinema sub from a respected brand, and a healthy example can still justify a stronger price if it’s cosmetically clean, fully working, and ideally comes with the original remote, grille, and paperwork. The upside is straightforward: if you want deep, room-filling bass and don’t want to chase a cheaper but tired unit, a well-kept one can be a solid long-term buy — but at this asking level, I’d want very good condition and complete accessories.
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.
