Cannot agree - a 30" speaker cone is not rigid enough. Better to have four 15" units wired in a series parallel combination: will have the same effective diameter and move as much air, yet be stiffer.Originally Posted by Lawrence001

It's like they got two confessional boxes from an old church and turned them into speakers.

If you're finding that an increasing number of mini items are populating your shelves this looks like quite a neat solution for not a lot of money.

After hearing some Canton speakers at the last NEBO, and then Ken (Qwin) buying some from abroad, I thought these might be worth posting. A couple of scuffs which could probably be fixed cheaply, otherwise they look very tidy. Not the same as Ken's but similar.

Lovely and fair price too given the condition. Can't be many left like that
If I had a use for them I'd have them:

Look great, but the amp doesn't have a lot of welly (22 wpc). My mate has a TA-2650, which looks almost exactly the same and makes 43 wpc. He has it going into some B&W DM603s I gave him, and the combination isn't great. Not horrible, just very un-dynamic with weedy bass. And I know they weren't like that with my old MF Electra E100.
There's a cassette deck that will go with them, and if put together with some speakers that don't ask much would make a handsome little vintage set up for not a lot of money.

Those Cantons have been re-listed, now 100 quid less than before.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166915842...Bk9SR9zP65KxZA
