Offered is „Cantius 212 - Weiß- HG“ by ASW as exhibit from the category „Compact Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9953902876 ends on 02.11.2026 at 06:16 o'clock.
Fair ask — €488 is comfortably below the roughly €800 level this model was reviewed at in the German press, so it does not look inflated for a clean pair in good condition. Compared with the original €429–€399 launch pricing, it’s above new-old-stock territory, but that’s no surprise for a respected German-made standmount that has held its value.
What makes it appealing is the mix of open, impulsive, finely textured sound and strong build quality; reviews consistently praise its transparent presentation and good imaging, with the caveat that the treble can run a touch lively in some rooms. For a well-kept pair, the upside is a serious small-room monitor with real craftsmanship and very little obvious downside at this price, especially if the drivers, grilles, and finish are all original and tidy.
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.
