Well, they are basically mine now.
She has had them for months and was going to sell them but did not know their worth. Apartment was getting cluttered so the deal was that when I gave her the KEFs she would sell the Marantz and her old towers and I would take the Cantons and sell them for her. Just need to give her fair value but being a dad I will likely over pay.
The AS 85.2 SC subs have a 9" driver, 200 watts RMS (250W max) and rated 25Hz to 200Hz. That model has been replaced by the AS 85.3. Translating the specs from German, this looks like a pretty decent sub in a small form factor. 25Hz is not terribly deep, but typical for something in the 480 Euro (C$715 US$566) price range. The woofer has an aluminum graphite cone, magnesium die-cast frame and copper coils. The grills are acoustically transparent aluminum (like the Arendals). The box is flat white MDF with gloss white metal trim on the front. It is quite attractive for a small sub. The tall slender form factor makes this a nice option for the living room where aesthetics are important. Build quality looks to be pretty good. I'm tempted to swap out my SVS for the dual Cantons just for fun and see how they perform but I want to get REW setup first so that I can do some measurements as well.
