Great speakers Cantons, I nearly bought some of these instead of the Hecos. I believe they are the direct competitor in Germany?

Yes, the combination of my front end/pre, Ali's Neurochrome 686 Monoblocks and Micks Canton CT1000/2 speakers, was extremely good.
I was so impressed with this set up, I ordered a pair of those Monoblocks as soon as I got back from NEBO.
Then I scoured the world looking for a decent pair of those CT1000/2.
Found a pair in Germany, not surprising really, as this was the home market.
Got everything crossed now, praying that the packer/shipper I've arranged, will do a good job, as they were collection only with no boxes.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

Just got word from the courier, the speakers are being collected and packed Friday morning.
Its the luxury finish in piano gloss Mahogany, back in 1986 this was equivalent to 600 euro extra (if the euro had been around then).
Just hope the courier does a good job protecting them.
I sent pictures and sizes/weight, so they know what to expect, fingers crossed the ultra efficient Germans come through for me.
Very nice, bet they look great.
