Verkaufe die Canton Chrono 509 DC + einen Onkyo TX-NR636 Verstärker, hochwertiges Boxenkabel gebe ich auch mit dazu. Die Geräte sind in einem einwandfreien Zustand und funktionieren einwandfrei. Nichtraucherhaushalt
The age of this original Chrono generation matters only in the sense that it is a mature design, not an obsolete one; the 509 DC remains a capable three-way floorstander. At €490, it is a strong bargain: that is well below the €1,458 25th-percentile comparable, and dramatically under the €2,427 median.
Its appeal is straightforward: twin aluminium woofers, a dedicated aluminium midrange, lively treble, tight bass, and enough sensitivity to work with a broad range of amplifiers. It is also a substantial speaker—around 20 kg each—with high power handling and bi-wiring support. For clean examples, this is an unusually attractive entry price; just confirm both cabinets, drivers, grilles, terminals, and any plinths or spikes are present before arranging collection.
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.
