Canton - Germany A 35
The Canton A 35 brings natural vocal realism, a clear, full-bodied balance and remarkably convincing in-room presence to a slim floorstanding design. Lite MAGAZIN found acoustic instruments especially lifelike, while HIFI.DE highlights the ceramic-driver clarity and rich tonal weight. With substantial construction and vivid imaging, it is a persuasive choice for immersive music listening.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 84/100
The available listening comments point to a clear, full-bodied and natural presentation, with especially convincing vocal and acoustic-instrument reproduction. Imaging receives the most specific praise, while direct commentary on bass control, treble character and high-volume behaviour remains limited.
Bass
83/100
HIFI.DE characterises the overall presentation as clear and rich, which supports a sense of satisfying tonal weight. However, the reviews do not directly assess bass extension, low-frequency control, room interaction or performance in the lowest octave.
Mid
84/100
Lite MAGAZIN highlights the A 35's natural reproduction using Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's "Shallow" as an example. That points to believable voices and acoustic instruments, though there is little further discussion of midrange texture or crossover integration.
Treble
80/100
HIFI.DE describes the sound as clear, suggesting an open and intelligible top end rather than a muted balance. The supplied reviews offer no direct listening comments on treble smoothness, air, brightness or long-term refinement.
Soundstage Imaging
88/100
Lite MAGAZIN reports that acoustic guitars seemed to play in the listening room alongside the performers. This is strong evidence of persuasive image projection and a convincing sense of presence, although stage width and depth are not separately described.
Dynamics
83/100
The descriptions of a rich, powerful-sounding presentation suggest that the A 35 does not come across as restrained or anaemic. Still, the reviews do not directly examine transient attack, large-scale crescendos, high-volume composure or amplifier demands.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
87/100
HIFI.DE specifically notes high-quality workmanship, while the A 35's substantial 26.8 kg cabinet, adjustable feet, magnetic grille and bi-wire/bi-amp terminals indicate a carefully specified floorstander. The supplied reviews do not provide long-term ownership or cabinet-resonance observations.
Value for Money
85/100
At the stated price range of 1,299 to 2,598, the A 35 is positioned as a premium conventional floorstander with an ambitious multi-driver complement and finish. None of the supplied reviews directly compares its value with competing speakers or states whether the asking price is especially compelling.

A 35
Simple Design and outstanding technology
For music and movies The innovative technology from our Reference models is also found in this magnificent floorstanding loudspeaker, which we have just launched. The A 35 is a slim three-way floorstanding loudspeaker in the style of our much-praised A 45 anniversary loudspeaker. Its smaller dimensions make it more suitable for smaller living rooms, but it also offers the unique Canton sound. Technically, the model is in no way inferior to its larger siblings, except that the A 45 and A 55 models can deliver even more depth and sound level. Thanks to their aluminium-ceramic tungsten diaphragms from the Reference series, the A 35 play pure and unadulterated, with an impressive balance and musicality that is second to none.
High-End Sound - easy like never before
Our high-tech membrane composite of aluminium, ceramic and tungsten is very stiff and light and is the measure of all things in terms of sound. The triple-folded, low-loss wave beads of the woofers and mid-range drivers ensure that the loudspeaker drivers swing in and out without errors and in a controlled manner - even at enormous sound levels. The cabinet of the A 35 is constructed from high-density fibreboard, with multiple internal reinforcements and a complex surface finish in several steps. The result is an immensely stable loudspeaker cabinet whose low resonance provides ideal conditions for the best sound. Rounded cabinet edges give the A 35 an elegant look and also improve the sound radiation. Visually outstanding are the aluminium rings of the loudspeaker chassis, which are manufactured using the Seamless-Diamond-Cut process. The solid aluminium base construction, which can be adjusted in height, ensures a secure stand on all surfaces.
Selected technology for outstanding sound
The 3-way bass reflex loudspeaker is equipped with excellent technical components to satisfy even the highest sound demands. Three 160 mm bass drivers are responsible for the low-frequency reproduction. They sit flush with the surface of the rounded baffle in the housing, which is only 19.5 cm wide. In conjunction with our patented DC technology in the downfire bass reflex cabinet, they reproduce tight and precise bass without the cones of the bass speakers deflecting uncontrollably at low frequencies. The 160 mm midrange driver, which we use at the top of the baffle, can also count on the stunningly precise properties of the aluminium-ceramic tungsten diaphragms. The Reference loudspeaker equipment is completed by our high-end tweeter with 25 mm ceramic dome - best Canton technology for unique Canton sound.
Perfectly equipped
We equip our A 35 with high-quality biwiring/biamping connection terminals. This allows the low and mid-high range to be controlled separately with different amplifiers or with specialised cables. The 24 carat gold-plated and very solid screw terminals accept cable cross-sections of up to ten square millimetres. They are also equipped for fork shoes or banana plugs, thus ensuring optimum signal transmission to connected amplifiers. For a perfect connection to your amplifier, we recommend the CantoLink 400 speaker cable, which is available in our online shop. This is a proprietary, six-core, high-end speaker cable with a special core and jacket - for the best possible sound quality. The high-quality and acoustically neutral full-size fabric covers in black conceal the direct view of the technology if required and are held elegantly by magnetic fasteners.
