Te koop aangeboden: 2 mooie luidsprekers van goede kwaliteit met prachtig geluid. In gebruikte staat. Inclusief akoestische spikes.
Recent used listings generally place a working pair around €70–€140, with cleaner examples occasionally reaching €150–€170. At €150, this is fair to slightly strong rather than a steal—especially if the price is for the pair and collection is straightforward.
The Fonum 501 is a well-regarded early-1990s German two-way bass-reflex floorstander: efficient, easy to drive, and known for balanced sound with convincing bass from its 200 mm woofer. It also offers sensible banana-compatible terminals and removable grilles. Check that both woofers and tweeters play evenly, the surrounds are intact, the cabinets haven’t swollen at the bottom, and the grilles and terminals are present. If fully functional and tidy, €150 is a sound buy; a little negotiation would make it particularly attractive.

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.
