Biete einen ONKYO Verstärker (Daten siehe Bilder) und einen 1 CANTON Center AV 700.2 mit 2 Boxen Canton Plus GXL
The Canton AV 700 has a solid reputation as a capable, well-built centre speaker, but €180 is above the normal used-market sweet spot. Your comparable listings put the median at €164 and the 75th percentile at €166, so this is an ambitious ask rather than a bargain; excellent condition helps, but does not fully close the gap.
Its appeal is genuine: the two-way bass-reflex design, aluminium-manganese tweeter, useful sensitivity, and broad stated bandwidth make it a convincing dialogue anchor for a matching Canton system. The removable grille and compact cabinet are practical bonuses, and clean examples can be worthwhile when completing an older setup. At this price, however, confirm that both woofers and the tweeter are fully clean and balanced, the grille is present, and the finish is genuinely excellent; otherwise, negotiating toward €164 or below would be sensible.
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.
