Schade op de kast van de speaker, speakers zijn getest en geluid is nog als nieuw, de speakers zijn ongebruikt maar schade opgelopen tijdens het vervoeren. De canton gle 100 s2 is een krachtige vloers
At €699, this Canton GLE 100 sits just below the median used market but remains a solid value compared to the €779 new price still seen in legacy listings for the same model. It’s not a bargain by your database’s 25th percentile (€531), but it’s clearly fair—closer to the median (€563) than the ambitious 75th percentile (€751), and well under the original €1,500 DM launch price when adjusted.
The GLE 100 is a respected German tower speaker known for tight bass, clear midrange, and a robust build that aged well in many home systems. At this price, it’s a worthwhile buy for anyone seeking a no-nonsense, full-range floorstander without the risk of modern budget towers. If it’s from an original owner with clean grilles and intact cables, it’s a genuine opportunity to step into serious hi-fi for under €700.
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.
