What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 89/100
Stereo Magazine delivered an unequivocal overall verdict, calling the Townus 90 “a bullseye.” Its published excerpt does not break that enthusiasm down by frequency range, staging, or dynamic behavior, but it contains no stated sonic reservations.
Bass
89/100
Stereo Magazine’s overall “bullseye” verdict indicates a highly successful presentation, but the available excerpt does not specifically describe bass extension, control, or weight. There are no reported low-frequency shortcomings.
Mid
90/100
The review’s emphatic overall approval supports a convincing and enjoyable musical balance. The supplied review text does not separately discuss vocal tone, instrumental timbre, or crossover integration.
Treble
89/100
Stereo Magazine gave the speaker an unqualified positive verdict and mentions no brightness, roughness, or lack of detail. The excerpt offers no more specific account of treble air, refinement, or extension.
Soundstage Imaging
89/100
The available review presents the Townus 90 as a clear overall success, without any criticism of its spatial presentation. It does not provide specific comments on image focus, stage width, depth, or placement sensitivity.
Dynamics
89/100
The review’s “bullseye” conclusion suggests the speaker made a strongly positive impression across normal listening, with no reported sense of strain or restraint. More detailed evidence on macrodynamic scale and low-level expression is not supplied.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
93/100
Stereo Magazine says the workmanship is impressive “down to the smallest detail,” which is unusually strong praise for the Townus 90’s execution. No durability or functional concerns are mentioned in the supplied review.
Value for Money
92/100
At approximately 2,798–2,998, Stereo Magazine describes the price as “very attractive.” Combined with its emphatically positive verdict, that points to a speaker positioned as a particularly compelling option among similarly priced floorstanders.

Townus 90
Our Townus series - timeless elegant
We are proud to present our brand new loudspeaker series "Townus", with which we would like to appeal to all people for whom timeless design and high-quality appeal are important. In reference to the roots and the location of our company headquarters, in the middle of the Hessian Taunus, we have created the same sounding name Townus for the new loudspeaker models. The newly created Townus series impresses with its timeless, elegant design and its high-quality materials - ideal for urban people who value design and quality. In the word creation Townus, we also refer to the connection between the modern and pulsating life in a town and the rather quiet and rural Taunus, where the creators of this timeless and modern speaker series have their origins.
The Townus 90 - perfect in form
Our Townus 90 3-way floor-standing loudspeakers captivate with timeless elegance thanks to their discreetly elegant enclosures and fine surfaces. Harmonious proportions, rounded cabinet edges and the screwless integration of the drivers into the slim baffle make our Townus 90 a jewel in any living ambience. The rounded cabinet edges not only give the Townus 90 an elegant look - they also improve the sound dispersion of the speakers. Flawless surfaces in silk matt or high-gloss lacquers as well as fine real wood veneers with a perfect finish underline the premium claim of the new Townus speaker series. Further visual highlights are the high-quality aluminium rings of the loudspeaker chassis, which are manufactured using the Seamless Diamond Cut process, and the fabric panels, rounded at the corners, which adhere magnetically to the baffles. Last but not least, the beautifully shaped wooden base with four metal feet serves as a solid foundation for the slim floorstanding speakers. Hidden from the listener's view, the large bass reflex port in the cabinet base extends the frequency response downwards. The downfire arrangement of the bass reflex port acoustically stimulates the room evenly - precise, deep bass without any tendency to boom is the desired result.
Design and technology
The solidly built cabinets of the Townus 90 three-way floor-standing loudspeakers are reinforced several times on the inside and equipped with high-quality internal cabling. Strategically placed damping material inside the cabinets and selected crossover components of the best quality optimise the sound of the speakers, which weigh about 24 kilograms. The four drivers in the slim Townus 90 loudspeakers are state of the art and provide the renowned good Canton sound. Three 174 mm drivers, with titanium diaphragms, enable dynamic bass and detailed, powerful mids. Thanks to the bass drivers with stiff and low-distortion double cones and Wave Beading technology, the Townus 90 still play precisely and calmly even at high sound levels. In combination with our patented DC technology, the 174 mm bass duo in the downfire bass reflex cabinet reproduces powerful and precise bass without the cones of the bass speakers deflecting uncontrollably at low tones. The tried-and-tested 25 mm dome tweeter made of aluminium oxide ceramic shines with its detailed and accurate sound. A precisely calculated waveguide for ideal sound radiation and coupling optimises the speaker's reproduction, up to 40,000 Hertz.
A strong team
You can expand the elegant Townus 90 3-way floorstanding speakers with other models from the Townus series to create a powerful multi-channel home theatre system. Our flagship Townus 90 speakers serve as the main speakers, and you can combine them with the ideally matched Townus 50 centre and compact Townus 30 surround speakers. For bass depth and punch, add the Townus Sub 12 subwoofer, with high output and 300mm titanium subwoofer drivers. The smart electronic component Smart Amp 5.1 harmonises ideally with our Townus loudspeaker models, allowing you to take off into the wireless world of music streaming. The Canton Smart Amp 5.1 effortlessly replaces a classic AV receiver and offers an incomparable variety of combinations and connections - with the best sound and minimal dimensions.
