Offered is „Canton Reference 2.2 DC“ by Canton as second-hand device from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9819902002 ends on 22.12.2026 at 17:04 o'clock.
This is an ambitious ask. At €6,950, it sits vastly above your comparable-market median of €128 and well beyond the €321 75th percentile. Even allowing for the Reference 2.2 DC’s high-end status, that figure needs exceptional justification—ideally a pristine, complete pair with documented provenance—not merely “good” condition.
The speaker itself is genuinely serious: a large three-way design with twin 260 mm woofers, strong dynamics, deep controlled bass, high output capability, and useful level adjustment. Its 60.5 kg-per-speaker build and demanding low-impedance behaviour make local inspection and suitable amplification important. Comparable asking examples around €4,600 still put this listing at a substantial premium, so negotiate firmly and verify that the price covers a complete, cosmetically excellent pair with grilles, jumpers, bases, and undamaged drivers.
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.
