Bluebird Music, a distributor of high-performance audio products since 2000, has announced its appointment as U.S. and Canadian distributor of Canton Loudspeakers.
In business for nearly half a century, Canton is the largest manufacturer of loudspeakers in Germany, and will be the seventh brand distributed by Bluebird, joining Weiss Engineering digital products, AVM (Audio Video Manufaktur) electronics, Jadis vacuum tube electronics, SME turntables, Questyle personal audio products, and loudspeakers from Vienna Acoustics.
“Canton is a large and thriving company, and we’re thrilled to represent them”, said Jay Rein, president of Bluebird Music.
“Canton make their own drivers, cabinets, crossovers and hardware in-house, rigorously controlling quality in ways that small makers and assembly houses simply can’t. Every single speaker is hand-finished and individually tested at Canton’s two factories in Europe. The company is still owned by the Seitz family, founders of the company nearly 50 years ago, and is actively managed by them. Their pride and care are exhibited in every Canton speaker, and they have invested in R&D facilities that few companies can match, including their own anechoic chamber and materials research lab.”
Bluebird Music will initially offer five series of Canton speakers:
- GLE series: includes a $695 stand-mount, and two floorstanders at $1,195 and $1,495
- Chrono series: includes a $995 stand-mount, and three floorstanders from $1,895 to $2,695
- Chrono SL series: has a large stand mount at $1,495, and two floorstanders at $3,395 and $3,795
- Vento series: includes a large, high-performance standmount at $1,895, and three floorstanders from $3,495 to $4,995
- Reference series: this no-holds-barred range includes a stand mount at $3,495, and six floorstanders from $5,500 to $30,000 U.S. retail
- Active subwoofers, on-walls, and center channels are available, along with dedicated stands
