Designed around the \"Form Follows Function\" philosophy, the cabinet features curved side walls, top, and bottom sections, paired with 5-axis CNC-milled rounded front baffles to reduce cabinet resonances and optimize off-axis dispersion. Low frequencies are handled by a down-firing bass reflex system coupled with a high-capacity internal cabinet volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe speaker utilizes dual 174 mm Black Ceramic Tungsten (BCT) woofers and a dedicated 174 mm BCT midrange driver housed in its own isolated chamber. The BCT diaphragms convert 25% of the aluminum molecular structure into ceramic, infused with tungsten and metal particles for an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio and low harmonic distortion. High frequencies are reproduced by a 25 mm Black Aluminum Oxide Ceramic (BC) dome tweeter. Signal connections are managed via German WBT nextgen™ binding posts with bi-wiring\/bi-amping support, complete with Canton's Room Compensation (RC) technology for fine-tuning mid and high frequencies in 1.5 dB steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES \u0026amp; PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced BCT (Black Ceramic Tungsten) Cones:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diaphragms convert 25% of an aluminum base into a ceramic structure infused with tungsten and metal particles, achieving high rigidity and optimized self-damping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTriple Curved Cone (TCC) Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specially shaped ceramic midrange cone geometry stabilizes the diaphragm structure to eliminate unwanted resonances and standing waves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5-Axis CNC Curved Cabinet Architecture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elaborately curved side panels, top, bottom, and rounded front baffles minimize cabinet colorations and standing waves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDown-Firing Bass Reflex System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottom-ported bass guide system enhances low-frequency response down to 21 Hz while simplifying room placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWBT nextgen™ Terminals with Bi-Wiring\/Bi-Amping:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-grade binding posts equipped with Room Compensation (RC) level adjustments (±1.5 dB for midrange and treble) and hard-gold-plated copper jumper bridges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatest-Generation Wave Surrounds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision-engineered surrounds ensure smooth, linear diaphragm excursion and low-distortion performance during high-volume transients.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch1\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3-Way Bass Reflex Floorstanding Loudspeaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGermany\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAcoustic Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3-Way System with Down-Firing Bass Reflex Resonator\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHigh Frequency Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 x 25 mm (1\") Black Aluminum Oxide Ceramic (BC) Dome Tweeter\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMidrange Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 x 174 mm (6.8\") Black Ceramic Tungsten (BCT) with TCC \u0026amp; Wave Surround\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLow Frequency Drivers\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2 x 174 mm (6.8\") Black Ceramic Tungsten (BCT) Woofers\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNominal \/ Music Power Handling\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e200 Watts \/ 370 Watts\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e21 Hz – 40,000 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4 – 8 Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLevel Adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRC Technology (1.5 dB steps for Midrange and Tweeter)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBinding Posts\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWBT nextgen™ (Supports Bi-Wiring \/ Bi-Amping)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHard-Gold-Plated Copper Jumper Bridges\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable Cabinet Finishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWhite Silk-Matte \/ Black Piano High-Gloss (12-Layer Polished Lacquer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Canton","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":52739911745802,"sku":"CANTON-8887","price":8499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":52739911778570,"sku":"CANTON-8888","price":8499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/canton-reference-5-floorstanding-speakers-pair-48926-p.webp?v=1773933697","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/cant-ref5","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
