Hallo,
verkaufe hier aus Platzgründen meine Canton 896.2 DC. Sie wurden von mir erst im April gekauft und befinden sich daher in einen tadellosen Zustand. Werden weitere Fotos benötigt, kein Problem, einfach melden.
Die Lautsprecher zeichnen sich ihren Feinzeichnung und klangliche Präsenz aus. Die Verarbeitung ist Cantontypisch ebenfalls auf höchsten Niveau. Auszug aus einem Testbereicht: "Stärken: klingt präzise, druckvoll und dynamisch, tolle Raumabbildung; sehr pegelfest; höchste Material- und Verarbeitungsqualität; Abdeckungen halten magnetisch; Reflexöffung nach unten gerichtet, lässt sich relativ wandnah platzieren. "
UVP ist komplett vorhanden, sie werden jedoch wegen ihreres Gewichts nicht versendet und müssen in Überherrn abgeholt werden.
Ein Probehören ist ebenfalls kein Problem :-)
Are you buying a genuinely excellent pair, or simply paying a premium for clean cosmetics? At €1,500, this is clearly ambitious against the supplied comparables: the median is €183, with the 75th percentile at €402. That dataset may mix different Canton models or individual units, but even a comparable listing around €1,499 makes clear that condition and whether this is a complete pair matter enormously. Confirm the listing includes both speakers before treating the price as remotely sensible.
The Vento 896.2 DC itself is a serious, well-regarded floorstander: a substantial three-way design with twin 200 mm woofers, strong bass extension, roughly 88.5 dB sensitivity, and generous power handling. It should deliver scale, dynamics, and easy room-filling levels, while the ceramic tweeter and titanium drivers give it plenty of detail. Excellent condition helps, but at €1,500 the buyer should expect pristine cabinets, original grilles and accessories, and ideally documented ownership—not merely “works fine.”
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.
