A slim 17 cm wide, sold as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Canton GLE 20 S2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause \"small\" doesn't mean \"muted\" here. The 154mm ATB driver uses the same diaphragm type as the large GLE models – stiff, light, low-distortion – and the tweeter with waveguide radiates more broadly, so the good sound doesn't only reach you from the exact centre seat. The rear-firing bass reflex port (backfire) gives you flexibility in placement, and the single-wiring terminal also takes banana plugs. In short: an honest little speaker that outgrows its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-way bass reflex with rear-firing resonator (backfire)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e154mm ATB woofer\/midrange for clear mids and controlled bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25mm aluminium black tweeter with waveguide, highs up to 40,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42–40,000 Hz, 86.5 dB efficiency, impedance 4–8 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated\/music power handling 70 \/ 130 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecompact 17 cm front, oval magnetic fabric grille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esingle-wiring terminal, banana-plug compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esold as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton GLE 20 S2 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain and simple: the GLE 20 S2 suits you when you're looking for genuine hi-fi sound in small rooms, at the workplace, or on a shelf – or as a discreet rear speaker in the home cinema. For a large living room with rich bass, the GLE 30 S2, a floorstander, or a subwoofer is the more consistent choice. In compact setups, though, the 20 sounds remarkably mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GLE 20 S2 surprises with substance you'd hardly expect from its small cabinet – dynamic, clean, affordable. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we'll work out with you whether the pair delivers enough bass free-standing on a shelf or whether stands add that final polish, and match the amplifier at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data – Canton GLE 20 S2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e bookshelf speaker (compact 2-way model in the GLE series)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic principle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way bass reflex (backfire resonator)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoofer\/midrange:\u003c\/strong\u003e 154 mm Aluminium Titan Black (ATB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 mm aluminium black dome with waveguide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42–40,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,200 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficiency (2.83 V\/1 m):\u003c\/strong\u003e 86.5 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated\/music power handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 \/ 130 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e single-wiring terminal, banana-plug compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Makassar (wood decor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 × 30 × 26 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.6 kg per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e pair of GLE 20 S2 in Makassar, feet, magnetic fabric grilles, instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Canton GLE 20 S2 sold as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the listed price is for two bookshelf speakers – a complete stereo pair. You get both cabinets with magnetic fabric grilles and instruction manual and can get started right away. That way you don't have to order twice and have a complete set at home immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the GLE 20 S2 need speaker stands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're not mandatory, but they help. At ear height and with some distance from the rear wall, the GLE 20 S2 sounds more open and spacious. It also works on a shelf or sideboard – a bit more proximity to the wall then adds extra bass. We have matching stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat room size suits the GLE 20 S2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt feels at home in small rooms, roughly 8 to 18 m². In larger rooms or if you prefer plenty of deep bass, the GLE 30 S2, a floorstander, or an additional subwoofer is the more assured choice. We're happy to help you judge what fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the GLE 20 S2 suitable for home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, very much so. It combines seamlessly with the GLE S2 series – as a front pair in a compact set, as surround alongside larger GLE models, or with the GLE 50 Center S2 and a Power Sub. All GLE S2 models share the same driver technology and blend together cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton GLE 20 S2 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we take small speakers just as seriously as large ones – placement, amplifier choice, and room size decide the sound.
