{"product_id":"cantontownus50wn","title":"Canton Townus 50 Centre Speaker, Walnut (Each)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Canton Townus 50 is a 2.5-way centre speaker from the Townus range in real walnut veneer, built for clear film dialogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVeneer 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Canton Townus 50?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeech 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton Townus 50 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I attach the fabric cover to the Townus 50?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much amplifier power does the Townus 50 need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton Townus 50 in walnut at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause veneer is a living-room decision and a centre channel is an acoustic one.
