Like how you show the drivers and inside the cabinets keep doing that.
Plan on it, thank you!
There are even some RUclips channels who do mostly that only :) 😀 and people seem to love that!
Have had the Canton k9 bookshelf. Paid 3500. Use with high end JL Audio sub. Use with vintage Audio Research SP 16 tube pre, and Emotiva XPA 3 amp. The K9s are detailed precise and dynamic.
Drivers are all made in their own little plant in the Czech Republic. Cabinets come from specialist Roterring in Germany --they make them for a dozen or so European speaker firms. Also famous for keeping spare parts for older models for a pretty long time & at reasonable prices.
I remember seeing Canton speakers with metal grills in the 1990s. I was living in Prague. I bought some BICs after listening to both.
Thanks for the input, do you remember what model on those BIC's?
I think in their less known Ergo series the speakers still have metal grills which is very cool and good when you have kid(s) at home, or cats... or both...
I had a pair Of Canton GLE 490 with métal grills. They were new around 2015. Very good speakers for the price but Canton does (much) better each time you go up a series until the top of the top which is their Reference séries. One day I May have one Reference pair... or maybe a pair of Paradigm Persona :) 😀 the future Will tell. Cheers.
Ha! Ha! Markting model numbers (cue the eye roll) suck, maybe one day they'll catch on. Thanks and happy holidays. Looking forward to your next video.
Only time will tell. Thanks for watching!
I have the canton vento 896 speakers and they are great!
I bet they are! Thanks for watching.
Listening with the grills on muffles the sound.
Please try reviewing one of their Reference towers. Thx!
I doubt I will be able to open up a fresh set of reference towers, but I have my name on a pair of 9K bookshelf speakers for my room. It will be a little while, I'm overwhelmed with gear currently, lol!
Yes! Finally, a gentleman that reviews Canton speakers in English, thank you thank you Mister!
I own Canton speakers in my home theatre setup of 5.1.4 and I would like to replace my current front mains (not Canton) for the new Canton Townus 90's.
My existing Center channel is a Chrono SL 556.2 and also 4 Atmos height channels consisting of 2 x AR5 and 2 x AR8.
Can you pleeease review the Townus 90's in the same way you reviewed in this video?... Even if you don't compare them to other brands!
Thank you Very much for reviewing the Canton brand, as you are one of the only RUclipsrs in Canada and the US I've seen so far doing this... well, other than Kpaceguy, but he sort of shied away a little from Canton lately (still a good guy).
Thank you for your enthusiasm and nice compliment. I do not have access to the Townus in the US market, only Vento and Reference series.
Ok, thank you.
I'm sad to hear that you don't have access to these newbies.@@2ChannelListening
Hi. Thanks for the detailed review!
What exact model number are that pair please?
Oops! You actually said at 2:30!
"Chrono 90 DC"
In their home country of Germany, the Canton Chrono 90 can be had for 800 euros a pair, which is insanely cheap and unbeatable in terms of price.
Really?!? I'd drink to that! Would make for a whole lot better proposition at that price. I still like the 596.2 DC though.
@@2ChannelListening The Chrono 596,.2 is great and has the advantage of down firing design with the new ceramic tweeter which isn't clearly better than the Alu mangan one.
Even more interesting is that the Vento 896.2 is now on sale for 1600 euros.
Yep. The new Canton Ceramic (mostly not only ceramic) tweeters receive excellent feedbacks from fans and professional reviewers in Europe, especially in Germany. I speak fluently German too so I can read all their very professional and high quality reviews.
@@khoi83 That's right 👍 I am also a native speaker. My only experience is that the alu mangan tweeter is hardly worse, especially in the Reference series from the past. Interestingly, a now retired employee confirmed to me that the differences are definitely measurable but hardly audible with a proper crossover.
@@vincentobrien5939 yep! The employée résumes well the whole ''dilemma'' or debate in and around the (stereo mostly) audiophile community. Many ''révolutions'' or ''big changes'' are merely audible for our ears and brain. It's mostly for the eyes and commercial and psychologic purpose :) einen guten Tag wünche ich Sie. Grüße.
Their name Canton is a combination of CANtare, which means Singing in latin, and Ton which means Sound in German.
Cheers
Thanks for that. 🤔🫰😃
@@2ChannelListening you're welcome.
I like your style of more sober and informative reviews on speakers and gears. It would be my style too if I was a reviewer. It attacts less viewers but it's less (purely) subjective. So I try to help à little with my little knowledge about not US product. I live in Québec, Canada and grew up in Luxembourg Europe so what is less known here is bteer known there and vive versa.
Cheers.
And in italian too.....
How did you get the beauty rings off the woofers?
You just have to work them out with a little pressure from the inside, they are fastened by pins in rubber grommets. I gently would pull them straight forward and they pop out. It was the tweeter that was a real chore.
I absolutely loved my ergo’s
Nice, thanks for watching
Arendal Sound 1723 THX?
I know...they are hot right now.
Could it be that the low-level intelligibility is not because of driver capability, but because of tuning that is perhaps a little bit V shaped with the Cantons?
Fair question, but I did not notice a UK type of curve, the speaker could be bright at times.
This speakers in Europe is way way way cheaper. I'm using Canton for 15 years. Ergo,Chrono,Karat,Nestor. .....
The usual argument, we North American's would like some of your brands for cheaper and vice versa. Sure have to be more thoughtful at lower budget levels. Cheers
I love tuning in!! Your best option is to make an account with promo sm.
Greetings; Are you speaking of Patreon?
No way that tweeter pushes 40kHz either, pure marketing BS.
I guess its kinda irrelevant if we cannot hear it and there is no test charts to go out that far. It is the bass claim that rumbles my feathers.
@@2ChannelListening it's not a secret that many brands in Germany often indicate full range frequencies... and also very un unprecise about impedance on their speakers... "4...8 ohms'' haha
@@khoi83 un-precise indeed...I would like to know if its -15db to get to 20hz bass...🙄
Very annoying sound on your video.
The long intro is so loud then the video starting and your voice is so low.
First need to lower the he volume then I need to is increase the volume.
Please level match.
Very enjoyable internally filming!
Thanks.
Thank you, I didn't catch it, just finished the new intro and forgot to do that, will with next video for sure!
@@2ChannelListening yeah I find it difficult to hear your voice on my phone sounds like you're talking deliberately soft
Increase it in post production 🫡
of German brand speakers i prefer Elac specialy the vela series.
