Canton karat / Ergo / Le series - How are they???

Falp Bronze Member Username: Falp Post Number: 54 Registered: Mar-04	Posted on Saturday, August 14, 2004 - 00:27 GMT Since i can get them at a good price I'm considerig them as an alternative to my option to Monitor Audio Silver speakers. What do you guys think? Can they be a match to a Denon or Marantz receiver amplification? Thanx!

Falp Bronze Member Username: Falp Post Number: 58 Registered: Mar-04	Posted on Monday, August 16, 2004 - 17:20 GMT I heard today the Karat s8dc with Marantz cd7300/pm17mkii KI they had in the room. Loved the sound, 100% my type, great highs and mids, but the bass was not very controlled, I Think the room and placement was far from prefect. I'm interested in m30dc+m10+cm40 or m60dc+m10+cm40 Oh... the speakers are awesome looking!!! :D the dealer promissed me a audition with m60dc+s1+cs40 with a Marntz sr5400 or 7400.

Canton Karat M60dc and S8dc line. Heard them and loved it with the Sr7400, no problem or overheating at reference levels!

I dont especially like Canton speakers, but I have to admit that I have not too much experience with them. I have a review with the Karat M30DC in it, and it didn't do so well. The reviewers did like the open sound of the Karat, but they thought it sounded very modest with dry and weak bass and metallic treble. In the same review the Dynaudio Audience 52SE came out as winner with lifelike and full sound, with only a little too much bitterness in it. If you want to go with the Cantons then Marantz would be probably a good choice for receiver.
