Canton Fonum 401 Bookshelf speakers

Canton Fonum 401 is two-way speaker system; bass reflex port is placed on the faceplate. Mid-,low-frequency head with the diameter of the conical diffuser 220 mm, soft dome tweeter of 25 mm look promising. Rated power is 70 W, allowable peak - 110 W. Not big and not small (265x420x250 mm) speaker system has a very impressive appearance: black border with a matte sheen and acoustically transparent protective panel made of metal (full inaccessibility gentle diffusers for the cat's paws).

Thick like "bee honey", clear and sonorous like mountain stream, meaningful like a philosophical parable. Canton masterfully interprets vocals: with a full basis, with a caring attitude to the nuances. The individual characteristics of vocal talent are clearly read. By the way, 401 uncompromisingly reveals not only the dignity of the voice, but also its absence. A whimsical piano displays extremely interesting. Elaboration of high frequencies is detailed to the Gothic sharpness, which in time can create a sense of abundance of high frequencies. But sound atmosphere sparkles with crystal clarity. The situation "bee honey" is more difficult: bass palette in compositions with a moderate content of low frequencies is prescribed bright, voluminous and in addition strictly. However, a massive bass attack in cool rock will have to be kept by the amplifier, otherwise the excess of basses threatens to upset the balance. The speaker system forms a three-dimensional wide panorama, interprets correctly the acoustic properties of the space on almost any live recordings, virtual plans and sources are well-localized.
