What Reviewers Are Saying

"You get excellently crafted and very well-equipped bookshelf speakers that also sound outstanding."

— Lite MAGAZIN

SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 89/100

Lite MAGAZIN calls the B 30's sound outstanding, an emphatic overall endorsement. The review does not break that verdict down by frequency range, imaging, or dynamic behaviour, so the finer-grained picture remains limited.

Bass

89/100

The available review offers an outstanding overall sound verdict, which supports a strong result from the speaker's low end as part of the whole presentation. It gives no direct description of bass extension, control, room interaction, or whether a subwoofer would be desirable.

Mid

90/100

Lite MAGAZIN's unqualified praise for the B 30's overall sound supports a highly satisfying and coherent presentation. There is no specific discussion of vocal realism, instrumental timbre, warmth, or midrange presence.

Treble

90/100

The review's outstanding sound assessment indicates that the speaker's overall balance was persuasive in listening. It does not specifically address the ceramic tweeter's refinement, air, detail retrieval, or any tendency toward brightness.

Soundstage Imaging

89/100

The B 30 received a very positive overall listening verdict from Lite MAGAZIN. The review says little about image focus, stage width or depth, speaker disappearance, or sensitivity to placement.

Dynamics

88/100

Lite MAGAZIN found the B 30 outstanding overall, suggesting an engaging performance rather than a flat or uninvolving one. There is no direct commentary on transient attack, large-scale headroom, or amplifier demands.

Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.

Build Quality

94/100

Lite MAGAZIN describes the B 30 as excellently crafted and very well equipped. The review also highlights its attractive appearance, while offering no long-term durability observations.

Value for Money

85/100

Lite MAGAZIN notes a price below €400 per speaker alongside the B 30's strong finish and attractive looks. It does not directly compare the Canton with similarly priced rivals or make a clear value-for-money recommendation.

B 30

The golden mean

He who says A, must also say B we thought: it was time to launch the new B speaker series, which complements our successful A models and just like them is offered exclusively in our online store. Our brand new B series not only looks beguilingly good, it also scores with a quite outstanding price/performance ratio. The passive compact speaker B 30 is a shapely 2-way speaker that feels at home in any living environment with its harmonious proportions and small dimensions. Our smallest speaker in the B series is a full-fledged stereo speaker that will spoil you with the unique Canton sound. It harmonizes ideally with its larger siblings, the B 50 center and the B 100 floorstanding speaker. The B Series speakers become a powerful and magnificent sounding home theater system when expanded with the highly dynamic SUB 12 R subwoofer.


Modern classic

With their well-proportioned housings and noble surfaces in high-gloss lacquer, the B 30 flatter the eyes of the beholder. With their simply elegant design, the immaculately applied lacquer surfaces in black or white and the front design without visible screw connections, the B 30 are a true adornment for any living ambience. The timelessly designed compact speakers spoil with the best HiFi sound and feel at home on a shelf or on a rack. Alternatively, the B 30s are perfectly presented both visually and acoustically on the LS 300 stands designed for this purpose. Included with the speakers are shapely and magnetically holding fabric covers: should you ever be tempted to want to give the B 30 an even more discreet appearance.


Well selected

Our developers have selected the best proven technology from the Canton shelves for the B 30 compact speakers. This makes them a top favorite right off the bat if you're looking for a well-engineered speaker that will impress you technically and sonically. The titanium cone for the bass-midrange driver is lightweight yet very strong, which allows the compact speaker to play with a high degree of impulse fidelity. Thanks to the suspension in the triple folded wave surround, dynamic and low-distortion playing is also assured with the B 30. With its 174 mm bass-midrange driver, the compact speaker reproduces precise and crisp bass - with considerable low end. The balanced and detailed mids are harmoniously rounded off by our accurately resolving 25 mm tweeter with strong drive and ceramic dome. To optimize sound dispersion, the tweeter takes advantage of the acoustically conducive properties of our Transmission Front Plate.


High quality equipment

We equip our B 30 with a gold-plated connector terminal that ensures optimal signal transmission to the connected amplifier. For a perfect connection with your amplifier, you can use the CantoLink 400 speaker cable, which is available in our online store. It is a six-core high-end speaker cable developed by us with a special core and jacket - for the best possible sound quality. The high-quality and acoustically neutral fabric cover in black hides the direct view of the technology if desired and holds elegantly by magnetic fastening on the baffle.
