Angeboten wird „Chrono SL 590 DC Paar“ von Canton als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 596946783 endet am 24.08.2026 um 06:10 Uhr.
This one is old enough that timing only really matters if you care about cosmetics, driver history, and whether the pair has been kept together; as a discontinued floorstander, condition and provenance matter more than any “new model” pressure. At €598, it sits just above the €587 median and only a touch over the €594 75th percentile, so this reads as broadly fair rather than a bargain or an overreach.
The strength here is that Canton’s Chrono SL line is well liked for clean, lively presentation, solid bass for the size, and easy system matching when properly set up. If the cabinets are clean, the tweeters are intact, and the original grilles/spikes are included, this is a sensible buy for someone wanting a refined German floorstander without paying a premium.
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.
