At £1,800, this sits just below the £1,798 lower quartile anchor and is a strong buy rather than merely fair, especially for an Ex-Demo unit with free UK shipping. Against a recent used median of £1,995 and upper quartile of £2,573, the asking price leaves sensible room for a quality valve integrated without feeling like a stretch.
Canor’s integrateds are well liked for big, smooth, full-bodied presentation with enough drive and refinement to suit revealing systems, so the appeal is real if you want the tube character without going full separates. Ex-demo status is a plus if it’s clean and complete, because it can offer near-new ownership at used money; just confirm valve hours, remote, packaging, and that any factory warranty still applies.

Canor Audio traces its roots to the early 1990s in the Czech Republic, where engineer Zdeňek Březovják—son of a musician and a specialist in radio electronics—teamed up with business partners Jozef Čurlík and Ján Koščo. Drawing from his experience with professional P.A. amplifiers and early DIY projects like mono power amps and a battery-powered preamp, Březovják shifted focus to high-fidelity sound reproduction. The brand's debut came in April 1995 at the Brno trade fair with the TP101, their first mass-produced tube integrated amplifier, marking the start of nearly three decades of tube-centric innovation. Now based in Slovakia, Canor upholds this heritage through meticulous engineering.
The company specializes in high-end tube-based components, excelling in integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, and preamplifiers that blend robust performance with aesthetic appeal, often featuring signature wooden front panels. Recent expansions include the Foundation series and versatile pieces like the CD1.10 compact disc player, emphasizing high comfort, precision, and musicality without venturing into speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Canor occupies a respected niche in the high-end hi-fi market as a boutique tube specialist, favored by audiophiles seeking refined, emotionally engaging sound from components that prioritize tube warmth and dynamics over mass-market accessibility. Its enduring commitment to quality positions it as a reliable choice for discerning buyers building serious systems.
