Canton gle 407 speakers (1 paar / 2 stuks). Nette speakers in goede staat voor hun leeftijd. Werken naar behoren en zien er verzorgd uit. Hier en daar wat lichte gebruikssporen, maar niets ernstigs. B
The €75 asking price stands out as a strong bargain versus your recent comparable set: it sits well below the €133 25th percentile and far under the €143 median, so this is priced to move rather than merely “fair.” For a floorstanding speaker, that leaves plenty of room in the budget for a careful listen, a recap of the usual wear items if needed, or simply a very low-risk entry into the model.
That’s what makes it appealing: Canton’s GLE series is generally well-liked for clean, easygoing sound and solid value, and a working pair at this level is the kind of buy that can be excellent for a second system, office setup, or a straightforward upgrade. Because the condition is unspecified, I’d mainly verify driver health, cabinet edges, and that both speakers play evenly; if those check out, this looks like an easy yes.
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.
