Summary:
I have read about these for years and accidently found a pr...for $390!! Incredible sound, best lo end I've ever heard, as stated Jazz is the 1000s forte...really amazing response. USE GOOD CLEAN POWER AND GOOD CABLES!
(I'm using a 1985 KENWOOD KA-1100 SD DLD Integrated, it's SWEET.

The newer (1985 0n) models had the mid/hi positioned above the woofer but not in a straight line as before, also a port on back. I called Canton, got a rep who actually remembered this model, told me was because of cosmetic concerns (you can see more of the front cabinet like this, also thet "tubed" the mid on these later models. THESE RETAILED FOR $2500-3000 DEPENDING ON FINISH! Canton's top line speaker at the time.

QUALITY WEST GERMAN LOUDSPEAKER, RIVALING ANYTHING OUT THERE

Get a pr if you can on eBay, well worth it!

Strengths:
GREAT bass, top end clear, DRAMATIC TAKE CHARGE SOUND ON JAZZ

Weaknesses:
None, placement of course is critical, don't drive these with a cheap amp!

Price Paid:  $180.00 from allegro (polish ebay

Summary:
After reading other reviews I decided to buy these old speakers. They are still in a good condition and plays finely and I'm happy they replace my previous modern, typical home cinema front speakers. I can agree with others but I'm not and expert and can't provide other details. All I can say I tried several new/modern speakers in the $600 range and they were below my expectations.

Summary:
I have had these CT 1000's for 16 years and they continue to outperform anything on the market today. The high end is sweet, the middle range clear, and the low end goes down to challenge any subwoofer. If I could ever find another pair on ebay, I would buy them at any price!! These are, for the money, the best speakers ever produced.

Summary:
I have had a pair of CT-1000's now for 12 Years. They are by far one of the BEST speakers I have ever owned. Great, clean bass when not TOO close to a wall, mid-range that makes you cry with joy, and a high end that is just a tiny bit sweet but it only brings out the flaws in your equipment or a recording if your equipment is not up to the quality of these speakers.
If anyone has a pair I would buy them! On the spot! Just Email me. Thank you

Summary:
CT-1000 one of the best speakers ever made in the 3000 dlr range. Awesome sound and tremendous imaging. The 12 inch woofer really
makes the house vibrate with low frequencies. The hand polish
mahogany finish($600 extra) is superb. Few speakers can go down
20hz like these babies. Get them if u can.
