Canton Reference Alpha 2 Floorstanding Speakers; Pair

The Reference Alpha's innovative technologies and high-quality materials make it another milestone. The BCT cones used for the first time in the Reference series can also be found in the new Reference Alpha. The new midrange system has been coated with an additional diamond coating. This gives the chassis even more rigidity and precision - for a neutral, dynamic and lifelike sound. This is complemented by the Wave surround 3.0 technology, which, thanks to its three surround bends, guarantees even vibration and symmetrical power distribution even at high volumes. The perfectly matched components ensure controlled performance and maximum sound quality.

Sound quality starts with the enclosure

The Reference Alpha 2 impresses with a majestic design language that combines elegance and power. As the measure of all things, it combines grace and design in an impressive way. Its over 140 cm high silhouette radiates presence, while the interplay of flawless lacquer and walnut wood creates a timeless, elegant design. Despite their imposing dimensions, the speakers appear light and graceful thanks to their sleek lines and harmonious proportions. The handcrafted finish reflects the highest level of precision, and every detail - from the surface finish to the curved front shape - underlines the demand for perfection. The Reference Alpha are acoustic and visual masterpieces that are made to last.

Harmony of design and wood craftsmanship

The elegant, curved design of the Reference Alpha combines aesthetics and function. The curved side panels, made of multi-layered wood, offer exceptional stability and exceptional stability and minimize resonance. Refined with the high-quality mix of materials, they blend harmoniously into the overall concept. The acoustically optimized curves prevent edge reflections and give the speaker its impressive its imposing yet timeless appearance.

Elaborate internal reinforcement

The Reference Alpha impresses with an enclosure that perfectly combines sound and design. In order to control the enormous forces inside the Reference Alpha loudspeakers, the internal construction has been enormously reinforced by a special cabinet design. The careful selection of the front shape, additional anti-parallel reflector units with precisely defined damping made of special fleece, prevents standing waves inside the cabinet.

Diamond midrange system

A special highlight is the extremely elaborate diamond coating of the ultra-modern midrange system. It ensures maximum stability and reduces sound coloration. Voices and instruments are reproduced with the utmost precision and naturalness. Technically, the midrange system is based on the innovative BCT cones, which impress with their unique material composition. The basis is provided by an aluminum cone, 25% of which is converted into ceramic, reinforced with tungsten particles and coated with an additional layer of diamonds. The new midrange system also has a triple-curved cone that ensures optimum rigidity. The ultra-light, phase-optimized “point source” inverse dome tweeter used for the first time enables particularly precise sound dispersion and an outstanding spatial representation of the sound image.

Diamond tweeter system

The Reference Alpha series tweeter system impresses with its DLC dome tweeter, which has a special diamond coating. This ensures exceptional rigidity and optimizes the vibration behaviour. In combination with the asymmetrical waveguide and the new computer-simulated grille design, the dispersion characteristics are optimized, especially in the crossover and high frequency range above 15,000 Hz. The result: crystal-clear highs, in which the finest details and nuances of the music become audible.
