Of course I had already read that Canton currently delivers to 85.2 with a improvers amplifiers module. Instead of the 100/150 watt amplifier there are currently the 200/250 Watt digital amplifier with room compensation, which is actually meant for almost twice as expensive Sub 8. And then at this unbeatable price. The differences from the Sub 8 then you have already accurately search (bass reflex tube forwards).
Worry I have naturally made that the sub would with his 8 inch plate in conjunction with my GLE 490.2, which also only slightly have smaller bass dish, harmonize me. In my forums have been me that much to a 12er sub advised by Jamo or Klipsch. The parts were horrible but looked and matched with almost 500 no longer in my budget.
I just got but then struggled through the order to 85.2 and the thing to try.
My living room is the way 27sqm large. I then in the Market Place a used taken from Amazon with the label "like new". In fact, I found no optical defect even on closer examination. A fright gabs only because on the package 100/150 Watt is. Only on the label on the device you can see the 200/250 Watt.
Installation was then pretty easy for me because I already knew the room technically best positioning for a Frontfire Sub with my last sub. Directly to the left of my right speakers, it fits great into the picture.
The setting was a bit fiddly. Hab first time asked that level to 0 and then tested. Unfortunately, took place in the music industry already the bass too much into the foreground. after some Probiererei I ended up with the setting -6 dB. After that I set using a test CD, the space and the compensation phase.
Since I am now in testing with various films. My daughter could of course be the first time to see their Merida Cartoons. As the bear roars at the beginning it has not looked bad from the laundry (I incidentally similar).
The SC85.2 plays bone dry, Emotional, under grinding the movies wonderful. Using pure tone I've noticed that he plays pretty well down to 20Hz. His strength is clearly of 25-55 Hz. Here there an almost übelerragenden tone the abdominal area. Actually totally surprising that something goes with such a small woofer. Then I NEN leave few THX test run transition sounds for the crossover frequency. The Canton plays nonlinear quite 100%. Nevertheless, I can be very satisfied with the Ergebis and I was able to achieve a very good result with the settings for phase and crossover frequency.
Personally, I can not quite understand why we think this sub would not match the big GLE 490.2. Sure, he does not play down to 15 Hz. But if you do not necessarily need this absolute deep bass range .... like this be absolutely adequate for many. I already much greater Subs with considerably more punch heard but I do not need more so for the film industry and my Fronts sound because so very impressive. Especially in terms of Prezision I can not turn the small Canton knitting. I found it all very consistent once it has restarted properly. I am fascinated by the small device.
After a break-in period then again NEN big test run with films:
The Bourne Legacy: Grandiose Untermahlung the Action Scores. Nen few ingenious effects. As the missile from the drone strikes in the cottage I thought schlägts home out the discs.
Battle LA: The whole movie is packed with class bass effects. Simply impressive. This makes really fun.
Ironman: is already tested at the beginning and the Jericho missile. Krass the blast. Then Chapter 6 trying times because running the slobber from the Mudwinkel.
Tron Legacy: The soundtracks are always backed by a deep bass hum what remains bone dry and free of excess Dröhnerei. Even at higher levels that creates the sub with flying colors. However, I have also tried to level position 0dB times at the very beginning Tron. Here kannste then say that the Schose sounds overloaded. Is just too much of a good thing once you get the volume is slightly raises the stroke of the diaphragm too crass, wave surrounds or not. Thus one can also shoot NEN Sub safely. So again 6dB. Is ideal in my amplifier.
Chronicle: Did not know that the movie bangs so awesome. Am here and there NEN beginning Bass accent which is very suitable. In the end, the Luzi comes from .... Just try. You will be surprised.
Well, although I have to do with home theater now more than 15 years of intensive I'm looking like a little kid on my sound compilation.
The Canton is a perfectly recommendable product, processed and grandiose in its price range certainly no competition. For double the price it may be more powerful subs but the thing must not be for everyone.
