Highlights at a glance

The Reference 5 GS is a statement for the highest sound quality and German engineering. Equipped with a newly developed DLC tweeter, a finely tuned BCT midrange driver and two powerful woofers with Bass-Guide, this floor-standing loudspeaker performs at the highest level – dynamically, precisely and emotionally. The WBT nextgen™ connection terminal with RC technology allows for flexible and individual adjustment, while the elaborately rounded cabinet ensures outstanding acoustic properties. Whether you are a music lover, purist or high-end fan: The Reference 5 GS impresses with state-of-the-art technology, uncompromising workmanship and a timeless appearance.

Perfectly designed

The Reference 5 GS Edition is a particularly finely tuned special edition of CANTON's successful Reference 5 floor-standing loudspeaker – developed with great attention to detail and the ambition to get even more out of an already excellent loudspeaker. Under the direction of company founder Günther Seitz, it has been refined with selected high-end components: the new DLC tweeter system from the Reference Alpha Series, a high-quality crossover with selected Mundorf components and the proven Room Compensation Technology for individual sound tuning. Visually, it makes a stylish statement with the new "Sand" color variant – warm, modern and luxurious.

DLC tweeter

The new tweeter system with a diamond-coated DLC dome (Diamond Like Carbon) ensures an extremely precise and clear reproduction of high frequencies. The additionally integrated, newly developed sound lens acts as a wave guide and mechanical air cushion. It significantly optimizes efficiency and extends the tweeter's bandwidth – for an airy, spatial soundstage and finely resolved details that bring music to life.

High-end crossover

The crossover used in the Reference 5 GS Edition has been completely revised and equipped with high-quality MKP capacitors from Mundorf – one of the world's leading manufacturers of audiophile components. These selected components ensure minimal losses and maximum sound fidelity. The result: a balanced, phase-stable sound image with impressive dynamics, authenticity and detail.

Gold-plated connections

The newly designed connection terminal of the Reference 5 GS Edition is equipped with gold-plated WBT nextgen™ binding posts – durable, low-loss and ideally suited for bi-wiring or bi-amping. For classic operation, high-quality, hard gold-plated copper bridges are included. Thanks to integrated RC technology (Room Compensation), the level of the mid-range and tweeters can be adjusted in 1.5 dB steps. This allows you to precisely tune your loudspeakers to your room acoustics and listening preferences.

Curved cabinet shape

The cabinet architecture is based on the latest developments in the Reference series: Rounded baffles and elaborately curved sides, bases and tops are manufactured on a precise 5-axis CNC milling machine. This shape significantly reduces self-resonances and enables particularly homogeneous dispersion. Two 174 mm woofers and an equally sized midrange driver with black ceramic-tungsten membranes (BCT technology) deliver powerful bass and finely resolved mids – perfectly matched to the large cabinet volume and the efficient Bass-Guide system.
