I own the 5.2s and really think it's a great speaker. They are not bass-driven speakers - rather coherence is how i would describe them with a "sparkle factor". The tweeter and mid range is marvelous. it took a while to settle in but once it did the mid bass was solid but coherent. The imaging is awesome and will spit out what your sources send them - in other words, they have the ability to disappear.
Canton Reference 5.2 dc
Has anyone had an opportunity to listen to this speaker? I am looking for a new set of speakers and was able to listen to the Vento 820 and liked the sound but am looking for a full range. Would also be interested in comparision to canton 890.2 dc if you have had an opportunity to listen to both. Rest of the system is comprised of classe cp-800, pass labs x250 amp, mac mini, and oppo 95. Thanks. As a side note I like the sound of the B&W 802D2 but wife says it is to big for the living room (though she likes the eyeball...her words not mine). I was not a fan of the 804 (lacking fullness and bass)
