Canton LE-600

Beskrivelse

Built in West Germany during the late 1970s, the Canton LE 600 is a refined 3-way bookshelf speaker from Canton’s renowned LE (Linear Excursion) series. Known for their balanced tone, clear imaging, and wide frequency response, these compact monitors punch far above their size — making them ideal for both vintage and modern Hi-Fi systems.

With a sealed cabinet design and a dedicated midrange driver, the LE 600 offers tight bass, rich vocals, and crisp treble, delivering a full and natural sound that holds up beautifully decades later.

Highlights:

• 3-way sealed enclosure – tight bass, smooth mids, clean highs

• Drivers:

  • 1× woofer (approx. 20 cm)

  • 1× dome midrange

  • 1× dome tweeter

• Nominal power handling: ~60W (peak ~100W)

• Impedance: 4–8 Ω

• Made in West Germany – real veneer finish, robust cabinet build

Why They Stand Out:

• True 3-way design in a bookshelf format — rare at this size

• Sealed cabinets offer fast transient response and tight low-end control

• Excellent synergy with classic amplifiers like NAD, Harman/Kardon, Rotel, or Marantz

• Ideal for jazz, vocal, folk, or rock with natural dynamics and detail

«One of the most honest-sounding vintage speakers I’ve owned — musical, unfatiguing, and lively.»
