Canvas CANVAS 65
CANVAS 65 — a gallery‑ready AV statement with surprising hi‑fi muscle
The CANVAS 65 marries minimalist Scandinavian design with a purpose‑built audio chassis to deliver an all‑in‑one TV stand that behaves like a compact hi‑fi system. Its most arresting quality is the deep, controlled bass and full‑range weight from dual 6.5" long‑excursion drivers plus two long‑throw passive radiators in a 24‑litre BridgeBrace™ cabinet, which reviewers repeatedly noted as unusually authoritative for a single‑box solution.
Sonically the Canvas favours a wide, natural stereo image: DSP‑tuned Klippel crossovers and BACCH 3D crosstalk cancellation give palpable width and spatial cues, while Burr‑Brown DACs and silk‑dome tweeters keep the midband and treble articulate and low in distortion. Reviewers praised its cinematic presence on movie soundtracks and the clarity of voices and instruments for music.

Build and finish feel premium, with magnetic interchangeable fronts and service‑friendly electronics that can be upgraded. Ideal for listeners who want a refined, space‑saving system under their TV and value stereo realism and design as much as connectivity. For buyers wanting Atmos or easy app control, the Canvas asks you trade formats and some software polish for pure stereo performance and aesthetic integration.

Pros
Deep, well‑controlled bass and punch uncommon in single‑box TV solutions, driven by long‑excursion woofers and passive radiators.
Expansive, convincing stereo imaging thanks to BACCH 3D crosstalk cancellation and DSP tuning — adds width and three‑dimensionality without sounding artificial.
High‑quality components and solid construction (die‑cast driver chassis, BridgeBrace™ cabinet) with upgradeable electronics and thorough connectivity (HDMI eARC, AirPlay2, Chromecast, Roon etc.).
Cons
Companion app and setup can be buggy or awkward (iOS works better than Android), making room correction and advanced controls less straightforward.
Included fabric grille can rattle at high levels and heavier wooden fascias that fix the issue are sold at a premium.
No Dolby Atmos decoding and no dedicated subwoofer output — this is a stereo‑first product, not a full object‑based home‑theatre hub.

SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 92/100
Bass
94/100
Manufacturer specs: dual 6.5" long-excursion drivers plus two long-excursion passive radiators in a 24 L cabinet, claimed 30 Hz extension and radiating surface equivalent to a 12" driver. These design choices and the stated low-frequency spec support very strong bass extension, control and authority for a compact floorstanding hybrid, so score placed at the high end of the mid-tower band.
Mid
92/100
Dual SB Acoustics 6.5" paper-cone bass/mid drivers, DSP-tuned crossovers (Klippel) and Burr-Brown DACs indicate careful tuning and likely coherent midrange timbre and vocal presence. The use of quality drivers and high-order, Klippel-verified crossover tuning supports a high midrange accuracy rating.
Treble
91/100
Twin 29 mm SB Acoustics silk-dome tweeters with a CANVAS-designed waveguide and DSP tuning point to refined, extended treble with controlled dispersion and low harshness. DSP/phase attention (Klippel tuning) boosts confidence in linear, non-fatiguing top-end.
Soundstage Imaging
90/100
BACCH 3D filter, DSP tuning and waveguided tweeters together with multi-driver layout and room-correction options suggest strong width, depth and stable imaging for on-wall or floor use. The hybrid mount and controlled dispersion should aid consistent imaging across placements.
Dynamics
91/100
Four-channel Class D amplification (250 W total), high efficiency and claimed high SPL vs. conventional soundbars imply strong macro- and micro-dynamics and headroom. The combination of efficient drivers and ample amplifier capacity supports punch and transient control.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
90/100
Rock-solid 24 L MDF cabinet with CANVAS BridgeBrace™ technology, die-cast aluminium driver chassis and metal waveguide details indicate robust engineering and quality materials. Three-year warranty and service-friendly design further reinforce build confidence.
Features Connectivity
95/100
Extensive modern connectivity: HDMI eARC, Toslink, analog inputs, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Roon, Tidal, Spotify Connect, DLNA, OTA updates, iOS-based room correction (optional mic) and hardware upgradability. High marks for completeness and convenience.
Value for Money
80/100
Premium pricing (€4,999–€6,499) but includes integrated TV mount, high-end drivers, DSP/Klippel tuning, room correction and upgradeable electronics. Worthwhile for buyers needing an all-in-one high-end TV+audio solution, but price demands strong subjective listening evidence to justify a higher score.

- AMPLIFIERS
- 4 channel Class D HiFi amps with a total of 250 watts, but with greater sound pressure than traditional soundbars with 1000 watts.\nMany customers have wondered why CANVAS HiFi plays deeper and more powerfully than traditional soundbars, which indicate they have a much higher power output amplifier.\nA large number of factors comes into play here, but an essential factor is that CANVAS has a whopping 24 liters of effective acoustic volume, in combination with 2 x 6.5 bass/midrange drivers and 2 x 5x8 slave bass drivers, which gives 592 cm2 radiating surface area, which corresponds to a 12 bass driver. CANVAS HiFi is therefore highly efficient, and plays louder and with more bass than traditional soundbars
