Hallå där! Nu har jag bestämt mig att avyttra mina stora Canton monitorer. Rejäla burkar med 12 tums baselement i sluten låda. Det bara stora högtalare låter som stora högtalare! Man kan få låg bas från liten låda men det stora fullvuxna soundet kan inte de små lådorna leverera med deras 5-6 tums baselement. Dessa Canton högtalare är fenomenal att leverera oöverträffligt ljud även på obehagligt hög ljudnivåer. Basen är djup och kontrasterad tack vare 12 tums element.
Fair ask, and not a steal, but still reasonable for a desirable vintage pair. At kr8,000, this sits clearly above the kr6,898 75th percentile from the recent SEK comps, so it’s on the ambitious side rather than a bargain.
That said, the CT 1000 is a respected Canton classic: big, full-bodied sound, solid bass, and a smooth, easy listen that still has real hi-fi credibility. If the pair is clean, fully working, and complete, the extra ask can make sense for a well-kept example. Confirm driver condition, crossover health, and cabinet finish before paying top-of-market money.
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.
