Which Canton Model to Replace Minimus 7s for Low Vol Listening?

[michaelm101]

I was advised here to use a pair of Minimus 7's that I happened to have in storage, up top the kitchen cupboards for low volume listening.
I added a sub, and it was an excellent suggestion.

I read somewhere that Canton also makes a small speaker that would be an improvement to the Min7 in this application.

Can anyone refer me to the model, as it appears there are several different Cantons in that size.

Thanks, as always for your excellent commentary and advice!

I **highly** recommend the GL-260. Maybe 1 1/2 times the size of a Min-7 (of which I have owned many, including a recapped pair, and a Zilch xover pair) and the GL-260 is a big improvement in sound quality.

Boston Acoustics CR65’s replaced 2 pair of M7’s in my house. Bedroom and dining room systems. Slightly bigger but not by much and they sound fantastic.

The Canton Plus S is similar in size to the Minimus 7, and vastly superior, IMHO.

Thanks all! There appears to be a limited supply of Cantons in the local area-
However, there IS a pair of "Plus D" about 50 minutes away, NO GRILLS, small dent in dust cap and on dome on one speaker.

Asking $120. Is it worth the drive (I don't like driving)?

Or if you like a nice project do a search here for doing the Zilch mod to your 7's. It's a few bucks but I feel it was a very nice step up. Or if you see the ADS 300's, I think you might like them a bit more than the stock 7's.

Couple pairs of the Canton GL 260 on that site for about the same money.

No driving
