Fina Karat bestyckade med MTM dubbla 7 tum samt 1 diskant och 12,5 tums bas på sidorna. Toppmodellen under Reference. Spelar väldigt upplöst med tyngd och dynamik ner till 20hz. Väldigt bra skick för sin ålder.
This is a buyer’s market for the Karat L 800 DC at kr 5,000 SEK, and the asking price looks fair to slightly strong rather than cheap. Recent used examples cluster around roughly kr 6,500–kr 10,000 SEK for clean pairs, with some lower outliers in the kr 5,500–kr 7,000 SEK area, so kr 5,000 SEK sits at the attractive end of normal if the speakers are complete and healthy.
That’s a respected Canton floorstander with lively, detailed top-end, solid bass for its size, and the kind of punch and scale that still makes sense in a serious stereo setup. If the cabinets are tidy, all drivers are original, and the foam/surrounds and tweeters check out, this is a worthwhile buy; the main thing is simply to verify function and cosmetics given the age, because condition swings value more than the model itself.
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.
