Canton - Germany Smart A 25
The Smart A 25 blends the authority of a full-size floorstander with fully active convenience, delivering a polished, genuinely hi-fi presentation. Lite MAGAZIN highlights its authentic loudspeaker quality, while 350 watts, 24-bit/96kHz USB and digital inputs, XLR, and wireless expansion make this a remarkably versatile stereo hub.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 86/100
Lite MAGAZIN describes the Smart A 25 as a modern active loudspeaker with the character and quality of a genuine hi-fi transducer. The supplied review extract is strongly affirmative overall, although it does not provide detailed observations on individual frequency ranges, imaging, or high-level behaviour.
Bass
86/100
The review’s overall verdict is positive and presents the Smart A 25 as a serious hi-fi loudspeaker rather than a convenience-led wireless system. It does not separately describe bass extension, control, room interaction, or low-frequency weight.
Mid
86/100
Lite MAGAZIN’s broad praise supports a positive impression of the speaker’s overall musical quality. The supplied extract does not specifically discuss vocal realism, tonal body, timbre, or crossover integration through the midrange.
Treble
86/100
The available review excerpt characterises the Smart A 25 as a high-quality hi-fi performer overall. There are no specific comments on treble air, refinement, detail retrieval, brightness, or long-term listening comfort.
Soundstage Imaging
86/100
The reviewer’s positive overall assessment indicates that the speaker performs as a credible hi-fi transducer. The supplied material says little about soundstage width or depth, image focus, layering, placement sensitivity, or stereo stability.
Dynamics
86/100
Lite MAGAZIN regards the Smart A 25 as a proper high-fidelity active loudspeaker, rather than merely a wireless all-in-one solution. The extract does not directly address macrodynamic slam, microdynamic nuance, headroom, or performance at demanding levels.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
85/100
Lite MAGAZIN praises the Smart A 25’s form and quality as that of a genuine hi-fi loudspeaker, which is encouraging for its overall execution. The supplied review does not include a close assessment of cabinet finish, resonance control, terminals, driver fitment, or long-term durability.
Value for Money
85/100
At €2,599, the Smart A 25 is positioned as a premium active floorstanding system with amplification and broad connectivity included. None of the supplied review material directly compares its price with competing active speakers or offers a firm verdict on whether it is especially good value.

Smart A 25
Active and wireless
With the new Smart A 25, the A series of the Online Exklusiv range is being expanded with a small wireless floorstanding speaker. The living room-friendly wireless active speakers are perfectly suited to today's minimalist design living rooms. And you don't have to do without great sound. The wireless signal transmission between the fully active speakers makes speaker cables superfluous and thanks to the powerful active modules, external amplifiers are no longer required. With additional Canton Smart speakers, the Smart A 25 can be expanded as required - whether for a home theater set in single-room operation or as a multi-room solution with additional speakers in different rooms.
Ready for anything
Whether connected to the TV and other playback devices in the classic way via cable or streamed via Bluetooth® - audiophile enjoyment is guaranteed: The slim active wireless premium speakers are ideal for high-quality stereo music playback as well as home theater and TV speakers. The integrated decoding and virtual surround processor enable the processing and playback of all common sound formats. Powerful multi-channel amplifiers, 350 watts in each of the speakers, make the Smart A 25 high-flyers in terms of sound. With an additional pair of Smart speakers, the bass-reflex floor-standing speakers can also be expanded into a wireless, fully active 4.0 home cinema system for single-room operation. The Smart A 25 is a stereo speaker and soundbar/sound deck in one - with wireless transmission between the speakers.
Variety of connections
The numerous connection options make it possible to connect any playback device directly to the speakers: With the XLR (balanced) and line (RCA) analog inputs, the Smart A 25 can be connected to all sources in the classic way via cable. The USB connection with XMOS® guarantees the best playback quality from the computer. Televisions, Blu-Ray players or other playback devices such as games consoles are connected to the coaxial and optical digital connections - for unforgettable movie and sound moments and for immersing yourself in virtual gaming worlds.
Technology design
Minimalist speaker design for every living room! With its living room-friendly proportions and understated, elegant design, the Smart A 25 speaker pair blends into any living room ambience. Equipped with the best technology from our Reference model range, this smart sound miracle plays big. Thanks to meticulous fine-tuning by our acousticians and the three equalizer presets on board, the 3-way downfire bass reflex system is particularly placement-uncritical. It also looks stunningly good with its completely screwless front, the black trim rings and the high-quality aluminum base construction.
Big sound small housing
To achieve an overwhelming sound experience, Canton uses only the best technology in the Smart A 25. The woofers and midrange drivers are equipped with the excellent ceramic tungsten cones specially developed for the Reference series. They are lightweight, incredibly rigid and, thanks to excellent internal damping, produce an incredibly lively and clearly structured sound. The 25 mm tweeter with an aluminum oxide ceramic dome tweeter is a perfect match in terms of sound, for incomparable precision and fine resolution of musical details. The amplifier electronics, equipped with high-quality components, deliver an abundance of power and guarantee the best sound. So you can be sure that you can enjoy all facets of your favorite music within your own four walls.
