B&W CM9 VS Canton Ergo RC-L 

Connected to the proper amplifier those B&W's would blow the water out of those Cantons.

@@Deeky76 They are almost identical spec to the cantons. That amp is no slouch either. Personally, I'd trust the A/B.

@Conrad Nathaniel Lies

@@Deeky76 Which amp for example?

yes, now I regret that I sold them

@@vintagestereo can you find another set?

o yes those test are coming

canton

ALR Jordan classic 5.

I've thinked about phase issue also, but how do you know the tweeters were damaged?They look fine.

The heco statement won't leave my house because they are better as the cantons

I agree the top end on the B&Ws sounds a bit muddy sounds like the tweeters aren't working properly as I have dm602s and they sound very sparkly on the high frequency and smooth in the mids and punchy in bass

Yes you can hear a difference though what ever you are listening through, but you can't judge speakers from a RU-vid video. The were times where the B&Ws sounded smoother and the Cantons sounded a bit harsh. The were times where the B&Ws sounded hollow, like some midrange was missing. The only why to know what sounds better to your ears is to hear them in person. What sucks, at least here in the US, is that you can't walk into an audio store anymore and compare several speakers side-by-side like you could in the 70s though early 90s.

H - J G That is not the case.Problem is the crossover and how designer arrange the sound.I've had Paradigm studio 60v5 with small drivers, and sound was very heavy on the bass.Midrange were laid back, but no blanket efect - very analitical and organic sound at the same time.Very deep sound stage.

Dynaudio Audience 62

not yet, but as soon I have the time i will test it on video

@@vintagestereo By the way, I also have a successor for my old speakers. I use the Canton Vento 896 DC now. The speakers are awesome. They have a ceramics tweeter and don't sound as harsh as the ergo. The bass is very strong but not as deep as the rc-l. However, the ergo has it's own unique sound especially when your hear jazz and blues.

your canton vento's are also mentioned in another comment by YZFR VintageAudio....He describe that under 1000 euro/apiece the vento 896DC and the focal aria 926 are the 2 best speakers he heard. I didn't hear both of them but I trust Boudewijn Veerhuis(YZFR VintageAudio) ears.

vintage stereo you really need to get that unit. I listened to my RCLs for 25 Years now without it, a few months ago I testet them with against without the control unit. The difference is huge, the soundstage ist way more detailed and the bass es deeper than my subwoofer can play, its awesome! Greetings from Germany

1100canadian=750euro and that is to much...because of the big sctratch it should not cost more as 450/500 canadian!

Veuillez consulter cette annonce : Canton Ergo Rc-L, www.kijiji.ca/v-haut-parleurs/sherbrooke-qc/canton-ergo-rc-l/1485343056?.google.android.apps.docs& Here you can see it!

i bought new testing equipment, a rode nt4 stereo microphone recorded on a zoom h4n recorder. The rode can pick up signals between 20hz and 20khz!

Great comparison, I wonder if you used a Canton control unit between the preamp and power stage?

i want to place mundorf's in my heco the statement too

Goed bezig andrew👍 meteen nieuwe interne bekabeling 😜

Good Fellow He is using a smartfone as a source, he have naked hard floor and using basic, cheap cables.And the music he played is not the best recordings, cause he is afraid copyright strike from YT.

And one more I forgot.The samsung camera he is using, and the mic build in is total crap.No mater what Mr. Andrew is saying about how good it is.Any HTC smartfon or Iphone will catch the sound better. Samsung is tragical in terms of sound from years.Best sounding device they build, was mp3 player with build in speakers, get famous by pussycat dolls video clip.Little speakers sounded better than headphone out, and that was powerfull 2x20mW. They get smart and ask for help from AKG in their smartphones - at last :).

​@@Gawron339 i know my gear. tested and still have 2 zoom microphones. Those zoom microphones are very good for recording live bands when the spl goes very loud but they don't record under 40hz. There are some mics what records 20hz but to big of a investment. The samsung records good enough. How you can say the samsung mic is crap when you never had it in your hands before....think twice before you make a comment.

I all depends what speakers you are used to. These are not expensive speakers, you have to compare the quality with under 900$/set costing speakers

@@vintagestereo "How you can say the samsung mic is crap when you never had it in your hands before....think twice before you make a comment." You have samsung mic, and You used it to record many of your videos- so I can compare this efect to my HTC, or other you tubs vids. Sound of your videos isnt the best.And i dont care if it can grab sound below 40Hz or 20Hz.I can hear is the sound good or not.Better good quality sound till 40Hz, than crap with full spectrum. So maybe you think twice before make a coment :) - I CAN hear the efect of your camera recording and how good it grabs the sound.There is no quality in it, belive me.Im using computer as a source thru my DAC and hi-fi system. Your records are better than this : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eCuWLOuHF_c.html But worse then this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7_DvZC4A_rE.html Wish you all the best, I didnt atend to hurt You Mr. Andrew :) Maybe record one with your zoom mics, and I will tell is it better or not :).
