That gives structured bass, clear vocals and open highs up to 40,000 Hz – just in a column that doesn't get in the way even in smaller living rooms. Supplied as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Canton GLE 80 S2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it's the all-rounder of the GLE series: almost the performance of its bigger siblings, but with slimmer dimensions and a smaller footprint. The dedicated midrange driver – rare in speakers of this class – keeps vocals present and separate from the bass, the AB tweeter with waveguide disperses widely, so the sweet spot is generously sized. In short: a grown-up three-way floorstanding speaker for anyone who doesn't want to sacrifice half the living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-way bass reflex on a front just 19 cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2× 174 mm ATB woofers for structured, punchy bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1× 174 mm ATB midrange driver – a genuine, dedicated midrange for clear vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 mm AB tweeter with waveguide, widely dispersing highs up to 40,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e23–40,000 Hz, 89.5 dB sensitivity, impedance 4–8 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal\/music power handling 130 \/ 280 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esatin-lacquered baffle, magnetic fabric cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esupplied as a pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton GLE 80 S2 suited to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: the GLE 80 S2 is the right choice for small to medium rooms, where a full-size floorstanding speaker would otherwise be too bulky. If you want to fill a large room with plenty of level, go for the GLE 90 or 100 instead; if you have no room for floorstanders at all, a bookshelf speaker is the better fit. But for classic living-room use, the 80 hits the mark: slim, honest, grown-up in sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GLE 80 S2 is the series' quiet tip for the sensible buyer: three ways, slim front, fair price – and sonically closer to the bigger models than its size would suggest. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we'll tell you honestly whether the 80 is enough for your room or whether stepping up to the 90 is worthwhile, and match the amplifier and placement accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data – Canton GLE 80 S2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floorstanding speaker (GLE series)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic principle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-way bass reflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoofers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2× 174 mm Aluminum Titanium Black (ATB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMidrange driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× 174 mm Aluminum Titanium 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 range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23–40,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequencies:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 \/ 3,200 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity (2.83 V\/1 m):\u003c\/strong\u003e 89.5 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal\/music power handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130 \/ 280 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 screw terminals, banana-plug compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black décor, satin-lacquered baffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 × 99 × 30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17.6 kg per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e pair of GLE 80 S2 in Black, magnetic fabric covers, instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Canton GLE 80 S2 supplied as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the listed price is for two floorstanding speakers – a complete stereo pair. Both cabinets come with a magnetic fabric cover and instructions, so you can get started right away. You don't have to order twice, and you have a complete set at home immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat room size suits the GLE 80 S2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt performs confidently in small to medium living rooms, roughly 12 to about 30 m². Thanks to its slim front, it also fits where larger floorstanders would look too dominant. For very large rooms with high level demands, the GLE 90 S2 is the more powerful choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference from the GLE 70 S2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GLE 80 S2 is a genuine 3-way system with its own midrange driver, while the GLE 70 S2 works as a 2.5-way concept. In practice this means: the 80 separates vocals more cleanly from the bass and sounds a touch more grown-up, for only minimally larger dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the GLE 80 S2 need a powerful amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. With 89.5 dB sensitivity and 4–8 ohms, it's easy to drive; a solid stereo or AV amplifier is entirely sufficient. More power doesn't hurt but isn't essential. We'll find the right amplifier for your room together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton GLE 80 S2 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the right placement turns a good speaker into a great one – especially with slim floorstanders in smaller rooms.
