The Canton Smart Libero Cinema Set + Smart Sub 8 is a wireless Dolby Atmos home cinema made up of the Smart Soundbar 10 S2, two Smart Libero as surround speakers, and the active subwoofer Smart Sub 8 – all components in white.
The bright finish is the choice for living rooms where technology shouldn't dominate: against a white wall, the 99 cm wide bar under the TV all but disappears, the two compact Libero barely stand out on light shelves, and the subwoofer sits as a plain cube next to the sideboard. The set connects wirelessly, with the TV linked via HDMI eARC.
Why the Cinema Set with Smart Sub 8?
Because here you're not piecing a system together yourself, but taking over one that's already matched. Front, height layer, surround and bass speak the same wireless language and are controlled through one app – no impedance questions, no cable channels, no calibration menu with forty submenus. What's left is the one decision that actually matters: where the rears go.
What you get
A full 4.1.2 home cinema. The Smart Soundbar 10 S2 delivers the two front channels with 300 watts across four Class D channels and plays the Atmos height layer off the ceiling via two upward-firing drivers. The two Smart Libero work two-way and sealed with a 25 mm fabric tweeter and a 78 mm woofer/midrange. The Smart Sub 8 puts 200 watts into a 219 mm downfiring driver and reaches down to 30 Hz. Streaming is built in: AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect and Bluetooth all run directly through the soundbar.
Who is the Cinema Set for – straight talk
Ideal for living rooms up to around 30 square metres with a flat, smooth ceiling: that's exactly where the height layer plays to its strength. With high sloped or wooden ceilings, the reflections lack a surface, and little of the Atmos effect remains. In very large, open spaces the Smart Sub 8 reaches its limit – there, a larger Smart Sub is a better fit. And to be clear: the Smart Libero and the sub are extensions within the Canton Smart ecosystem, staying silent on their own with third-party equipment.
Our verdict
A home cinema for people who want to watch the film, not the system: four components, one control concept, set up in an afternoon. That it looks like a living room rather than a server room in white doesn't hurt either.

Frequently asked questions
Which devices are included in the Cinema Set in white?
Three components in white: the Smart Soundbar 10 S2 as the hub with remote control, two Smart Libero as surround speakers, and the Smart Sub 8 as active subwoofer. Together that forms a 4.1.2 system with two front, two height and two surround channels plus deep bass.
What does the Smart Sub 8 add compared with the set without a subwoofer?
It extends the system down to 30 Hz and relieves the soundbar in the deep bass. You'll notice that with film effects and kick bass, but also with music: the bass gets deeper and drier, because the sealed enclosure works in a controlled way rather than booming.
How does the subwoofer pair with the soundbar?
Wirelessly via Canton Smart Link, as soon as both devices are powered up. Alternatively, you connect it via RCA to the soundbar's subwoofer output and run it in wired mode – handy if the placement isn't ideal for wireless.
Can I expand the set later?
Yes. Via Canton Smart technology you add further Smart speakers wirelessly, for instance two more Libero for additional height or surround channels. The Cinema Set is a starting point rather than a dead end, even if you only continue building in two years' time.
Do I need a paid streaming subscription?
No. TV sound comes via HDMI, music via AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect or Bluetooth, as you prefer. Internet radio and your own files run at no ongoing cost. A subscription widens the selection, but it's not a requirement for operation.
Why buy the Canton Smart Libero Cinema Set from HD Zürisee?
Because placement decides the result, not the spec sheet. Our experienced team in Wädenswil checks room, ceiling height and seating position, plans the later expansion with you, and handles delivery and installation on request. Get in touch by phone, email or WhatsApp.
