Canton ergo 695 dc in top staat! Gaan weg wegens aanschaf nieuwe boxen. Prijs is niet verhandelbar!!
Against your comparable used-market anchor, €850 sits above the median €545 and below the 75th percentile €895, so it reads as firm but still reasonable rather than overpriced. It is not a bargain at this level, but it also is not pushing into clearly ambitious territory for this market snapshot.
These Cantons are generally liked for their solid German-built engineering, lively yet controlled presentation, and easy listenability in a normal room. At €850, the buy makes the most sense if the cabinets, drivers, and grilles are clean and the pair is complete; with condition unknown, I’d want close-up photos and confirmation that both speakers play evenly before committing.
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.
