Masterful

The Reference 2K is the second largest model in Canton's high-end Reference K family. It's slightly less large and heavy than the flagship Reference 1K, but no less musical and dynamic! It plays in all nuances of sound and at all levels as calmly as confidently. With its opulent low-end configuration capable of extreme dynamics, (x3) 8.66" ceramic tungsten woofers are used in each speaker. In the generous cabinet volume, the potent bass trio plays in combination with the new "Bass-Guide" bass-reflex system breathtakingly deep down. However, thanks to the low-loss wave surrounds that clamp the midrange and woofer and the superbly resolving ceramic tweeter, the Reference 2Ks impress with their excellent fine dynamics even at low volumes. The acoustically optimized enclosures with the characteristic bow shape and organically curved side walls set standards in terms of radiation behavior, stability, and low resonance.

High-end Technology

The solid, multi-stiffened cabinets made of multi-layer laminate provide ideal working conditions for the Reference 2K's technically mature and advanced drivers. One of these slim 3-way floor-standing speakers weighs an impressive 157 lbs. Canton takes advantage of the excellent material properties of aluminum-ceramic cones refined with tungsten particles. In the tweeter, the excellent 1" tweeter dome with aluminum-oxide ceramic diaphragm is used. Furthermore, sound-optimized crossover components and the highly effective base design with Bass Guide ensure the highest possible fidelity.

The Reference 2K is equipped with a high-quality biwiring / biamping connection terminal, allowing the low-frequency and mid-high range to be driven separately with different amplifiers or with specialized cables. 24k gold-plated, stable screw terminals with a capacity for cable cross-sections up to 10mm2, ensure optimum signal transmission. The levels for the midrange and treble can be finely adjusted at the connection terminal, depending on personal preferences or room acoustic conditions.

    Premium Through and Through

    Canton developed and manufactured the loudspeaker systems of the Reference K series in their factory in Weilrod in the Taunus region. This is the only way to maintain necessary quality standards, minimize tolerances, eliminate defects, and keep the high sound requirements for their top products.

    The Reference 2K cabinets are made of high-quality multi-layer laminate. In an elaborate special process, the characteristic bow shape of the speaker is milled from solid material. The noble, high-gloss surface "Piano Finish" is applied, sanded and elaborately polished in 12 work steps. It gives the Reference 2K cabinet an overwhelming sense of depth. Acoustically optimized two-piece fabric covers, which are elegantly held in place on the baffle by magnetic fasteners, round off the elegant appearance.
