The Canton Townus 50 is a 2.5-way centre speaker from the Townus range in real walnut veneer, built for clear film dialogue.

Veneer instead of lacquer: this version suits living rooms where wood is already present, and it ages far more gracefully than any piano-lacquer finish. Technically, it's the same centre channel as in black or white – two titanium mid-woofers, a ceramic dome, bass reflex firing rearward. Supplied as a single unit.

Why the Canton Townus 50?

A centre channel has a thankless job: it usually sits wedged into a piece of furniture, directly under the screen, and is still expected to speak cleanly. Canton solves this through layout – two 154 mm titanium diaphragms with wave surrounds either side of the 25 mm ceramic dome – and through a low-set crossover at 400 Hz. The frequency range spans 30 to 40,000 Hz, the second crossover sits at 3,000 Hz.

What you hear

Speech that doesn't wear you out. The Townus 50 doesn't make dialogue artificially bright, it sorts it – voice up front, effects around it. With documentaries and series you notice this immediately, because you set the volume once and then leave it alone. It renders multi-channel music warmly and with body, without drowning out the front channels.

Who is the Canton Townus 50 for?

Straight talk: this version is for you if your living room can take wood and your home cinema is built on the Townus range. If you only listen to stereo, you can skip the centre channel entirely. And if you expect perfect colour match with other wood furniture, know this: real veneer is nature, not printed wallpaper – every piece looks a little different.

Our verdict

The best-looking of the three Townus 50 finishes, and acoustically the same reliable dialogue carrier. Honestly: a centre channel rarely gets admired but is constantly relied on – here your money is well spent. If you're unsure which Townus combination belongs in your room, get in touch with HD Zürisee in Wädenswil; we listen first, then recommend.

Frequently asked questions

Is the walnut finish real wood veneer?

Yes, Canton veneers the housing with real walnut. Every unit therefore has a slightly individual grain; exact colour match across several speakers is never guaranteed with natural veneer. That's exactly the appeal when wood is already present in the room.

How do I attach the fabric cover to the Townus 50?

You don't – it holds on magnetically. The oval cover is included and simply placed on the front; there are no visible mounting holes in the veneer. Without the cover you see the titanium drivers, and the sonic differences are minimal.

How much amplifier power does the Townus 50 need?

Around 85 watts of continuous power per channel is sensible; it briefly handles 140 watts of music power. Impedance is 4 to 8 ohms, which any decent AV receiver handles easily. More important than raw wattage is that the amplifier stays stable into 4 ohms.

Why buy the Canton Townus 50 in walnut at HD Zürisee?

Because veneer is a living-room decision and a centre channel is an acoustic one. We look at both together, tell you what harmonises with your front speakers, and deliver the set fully set up at your home on request. We answer questions by phone, email or WhatsApp.

Goes well with

Floorstanding speakers as fronts, bookshelf speakers for the surround channels, a subwoofer and an amplifier from our amplifiers selection all pair well with it. More models are found under Canton.
