Single test 		“good” (68 out of 100 points)

Value for money: “outstanding”, “Highlight”

“Costing 100 euros more than its little sister, the GLE 490 offers a commanding bass with an even greater level of accuracy. Its large membrane makes it ideal for creating sound in large rooms.”

Single test 		“very good”; “Top Class”

Value for money: “very good”

“The new GLE series from Canton offers innovative loudspeaker technology at a reasonable price. Its sound wins points for its high level of detail and its vivid spatiality. Thanks to the most up-to-date materials, and the diligent efforts of the development team, the GLE 490.2 sounds particularly dynamic and neutral. That’s why ‘AV-Magazin’ was more than happy to give it the thumbs up.”
