Asw cantius 404 in nieuwstaat. Geen verzending. Prijs 199 euro. De cantius 404 is een elegante slanke vloerstaande luidspreker, die er overigens, in tegenstelling tot andere luidsprekers, nog fraaier
This is an older, slim floorstander from the Cantius era, so the key question is condition rather than timing; there’s no sign of a direct replacement model that makes it obsolete, but age means the drivers, surrounds, and crossover parts deserve a careful look. At €199, it sits in the good-value zone for a recognizable German tower speaker of this class, and if the cabinets are clean and both speakers are healthy, it’s a fair buy rather than an ambitious one.
What makes it worthwhile is the format: 89.5 dB sensitivity, 4-ohm load, and a reputation for a detailed, lively presentation from the 2 x 100 mm алюминиум midbass units and 30 mm silk dome. It’s a neat option for smaller rooms where you want a slim footprint without sacrificing proper floorstander scale. I’d mainly confirm driver matching, no buzzing at moderate volume, and intact grilles/spikes; if it’s complete and original, €199 is a solid entry point.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
ASW appears to be a German loudspeaker brand founded in 1987 in Vreden, Germany; the available source identifies it as ASW Lautsprecher GmbH and describes it as a respected German speaker maker. The founder is not clearly established in the material provided, so that detail is best left unconfirmed rather than guessed.
Its core focus is loudspeakers, especially hi-fi speaker systems rather than a broad electronics lineup. The search results do not support claims that ASW is known for amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, and the brand is not presented as a full-range audio manufacturer.
In market terms, ASW sits in the niche specialist to upper-mid/high-end segment of the loudspeaker world. It seems to be a brand valued by knowledgeable hi-fi buyers more for engineering credibility and speaker design than for mass-market visibility, and it is not especially well documented in the sources here.
