Canton karat 770 dc. In de kleur hoogglans piano black. Nieuw staat, geen krassen of beschadigingen. Inclusief 4x 2,5 meter silver line speaker kabels met tulip stekkers. Speakers staan op spikes. Kun
At €750, this is above the usual used level for a Karat 770 DC pair, which tends to trade more around roughly €300–€500 depending on condition and finish, so the ask feels ambitious unless these are exceptionally clean and fully documented. The original price was about €829–€979 per speaker, so €750 for the pair is still far below new, but not a bargain by used-market standards.
That said, the 770 DC is a well-regarded Canton: quick, lively, and refined enough to make a strong high-end starter or second-system floorstander, with good bass control and easy placement compared with many big speakers. If the cabinets, drivers, and DC foam are all healthy, and you can verify original ownership or recent servicing, it can still be a worthwhile buy — just not at the kind of price that leaves much room for age-related surprises.
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.
