Seventy per cent of a film comes out of this one · review
The only speaker in this catalogue with a complete published specification — sensitivity, frequency range, crossover points and driver diameters, all stated.
The bottom line The specification sheet this entire catalogue needs more of — and a three-way centre, which is what a dialogue channel deserves.
Because there is something to write. Canton publishes sensitivity, frequency range, both crossover points and the driver diameters. Every other speaker in this catalogue publishes some of that at best, and most publish a power figure and a photograph.
Two crossover points — 400 Hz and 3 000 Hz — mean three ways: a woofer, a dedicated midrange and a tweeter. In a centre speaker that matters more than anywhere else, because dialogue sits in the midrange and a two-way design asks its woofer to reproduce it while also moving air.
30 Hz to 30 000 Hz, without a tolerance. That is the one figure here that would benefit from a ±3 dB qualifier, and it is not given.
80 W nominal, 140 W music. The German hi-fi convention, and more informative than a single number: the first is what it takes continuously, the second what it survives in peaks.
A three-way centre is a deep cabinet. Measure the space under the television before ordering — including whether it will block the infrared window.
Sold singly, from a range that includes floorstanders and surrounds. A system built inside it will match; a centre bought alone into a mixed system will not, and that is audible when a voice moves across the screen.

They tell you the design. Two crossover points — 400 Hz and 3 000 Hz — mean three drivers each covering a band, with a dedicated midrange. In a centre speaker that is exactly where dialogue sits, and handing it to its own driver rather than to a woofer is the point.
Ideally yes, and from the same range. Matching drivers and crossovers mean a voice moving across the screen stays the same voice. Where matching is impossible, a well-specified centre is better than a mismatched one from the right brand.
