The downright slim appearance of both of the Cantius models 404 and 504, with their staggering deep bass reproduction, leaves the listener in astonishment. The elegant lines and the finest wood veneers are complementary to the high sound quality. Cabinet edges, on which reflections could appear, are being limited at a minimum. All these qualities delineate the ultimate multi-channel loudspeaker too. Slim and elegant design, combined with a sound quality that is looking for its equivalent.

“…between the two woofers, you will find, accordingly to the d’appolito style, the silk soft-dome tweeter. With a diameter of 30mm it looks voluminous, but necessary, as the 18db crossover orders him to reproduce everything between 25 and 2 Kilohertz … where is the bass? The staggering answer is coming from the two aluminium woofers … my advice: get them!”
