Canton GLE 20 Bookshelf Speakers Pair Black

Technology: Better Than Ever

The pursuit of the best possible sound demands hard work and the use of cutting-edge technologies. The continuous advances made in loudspeaker development especially benefit the visually and technically revised GLE speakers. A standout feature is the excellent titanium drivers introduced into the current GLE series. Equally proven is the aluminum-manganese high-frequency system with a 25 mm dome used in the GLE 20, which delivers finely resolved highs and impressively detailed sound.

The powerful 154 mm titanium mid/bass driver proves to be an ideal partner: mounted in an optimally tuned bass-reflex enclosure, it reproduces low frequencies with punch and precision. Its light yet extremely stiff diaphragm provides balanced and neutral midrange reproduction with excellent detail. The woofers feature sturdy polycarbonate baskets, powerful magnet drives and the latest-generation triple-folded wave surrounds — a combination that enables highly dynamic playback with minimal distortion. The compact GLE 20 plays up to 40,000 Hertz, supported by a precisely calculated and optimally shaped waveguide that ensures ideal sound dispersion even to the sides of the speaker.

Compact Design

Harmoniously proportioned with a neutral, modern design, the 2-way compact GLE 20 speakers are extremely versatile — whether freestanding on matching LS 660 stands, on a rack or in a shelf. The front baffles are painted black or white depending on the finish. The enclosures are available in "Black Vinyl", "White Vinyl" and the elegant "Makassar" finish. The black or white acoustically neutral fabric grilles attach magnetically to the baffles. The GLE 20 weighs around 4.5 kilograms and measures 29.5 cm in height, 17 cm in width and 26 cm in depth.

Ideal Combination

The universally usable 2-way compact GLE 20 speakers can be expanded with other models from the GLE series into a powerful multi-channel home cinema system. For main speakers, for example, the GLE 70 are a great choice, complemented by a GLE 50 center and a pair of GLE 20 as surround speakers. The perfectly matched POWER SUB 12 subwoofer handles the active low end and delivers impressively powerful bass in the home cinema. Depending on individual preferences and requirements, you can assemble a personal multi-channel home cinema dream from the extensive GLE portfolio — for maximum movie enjoyment at home. When the speaker set is combined with the smart electronics module Smart Amp 5.1, it opens the door to the wireless world of music streaming. This easily replaces a traditional AV receiver and impresses with exceptional connectivity and combination options — delivering excellent sound in particularly compact dimensions.
