Pure Elegance

The Reference 7K stands exactly at 100cm in height. It lends itself to any living space thanks to its harmonious proportions and noble surface design. The two ceramic tungsten bass drivers with a diameter of 174mm, specially developed for the Reference K series, ensure a powerful performance and breathtaking bass. Exactly the same size is the midrange specialist, which with its light and stiff ceramic tungsten cone reproduces mid-range sounds in an inimitable manner, highly neutral and balanced. Thanks to the low-loss wave surrounds that sandwich the midrange and woofer, and the superbly resolving ceramic tweeter, the Reference 7Ks impress with their excellent fine dynamics even at low volumes. The acoustically optimized enclosures with curved side walls and rounded edges ensure ideal dispersion characteristics of the slim floorstanding speakers.

Craftsmanship

Canton develops and manufactures the loudspeaker systems of their 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 any defects, and keep the high sound requirements for top products. The Reference 7K cabinets are made of high-quality multi-layer laminate and undergo a complex finishing process: the high-gloss “Piano Finish” surface sealant is applied, sanded and elaborately polished in twelve work steps. It gives the Reference 7K cabinet an overwhelming depth effect. As an alternative, the Reference 7K are offered in an even more refined and visually truly impressive variant: the cabinets in cherry real wood veneer with “Piano Finish” are pure craftsmanship and inspire with their lively grain and warm color tone. Acoustically optimized fabric covers, which elegantly hold on the baffle by magnetic fastening, round off the noble appearance sovereign.

Ambitious

The Reference 7K benefits sonically from the solid, multi-stiffened cabinets made of multi-layer laminate, which keep sound-reducing resonances away from the speaker drivers used. In the low and midrange, the most technically advanced drivers are used. Canton takes full advantage of the excellent material properties of aluminum-ceramic cones refined with tungsten particles, characterized by their enormous stiffness combined with high, internal damping. All of this is achieved with very low weight and extended frequency range. The 25mm dome tweeter with aluminum-oxide ceramic diaphragm is used in the high frequency range. Sound-optimized crossover components and the highly effective base design with Bass Guide ensure the highest possible fidelity.

The Reference 7K is equipped with a high-quality biwiring/ biamping connection terminal, allowing the low and mid-high ranges to be driven separately with different amplifiers or with specialized cables. 24k gold-plated, stable screw terminals with a capacity for cable cross-sections of 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.
