AQ CANTO 5 - beech

Two-way audiophile column speakers with a bent wood baffle

  
AQ CANTO is a new line of AQ speakers born from the combination of traditional Czech wood bending technologies 
and rich experience of Acoustique Quality. The knowledge they have gained over the last 30 years in the field 
of speaker development and production at AQ has thus benefited, and the result is speakers that not only guarantee 
a strong sound experience, but also delight fans of mature aesthetics and elegance. Great sound, refined design, 
ecological approach and development and production in the Czech Republic, all this is represented by the new line 
of AQ CANTO speakers.

 
The innovative design combining a rigid MDF frame with a 3D shaped beech shell made it possible to achieve 
uncompromising expression regardless of the increased sustainability of production. The use of a beech shell bent 
in three axes made it possible to increase the rigidity of the body and reduce material consumption to a minimum. 
In addition, the shell contains only a fraction of the adhesive and the sealant components are completely missing. 
AQ CANTO are thus the most environmentally friendly speakers.


Custom converters, which are manufactured for AQ by the Danish company SB ACOUSTICS, also play an important role. 
The listener will certainly appreciate the strong and controlled bass, precisely mastered mids and clear highs full 
of fine details. Fancy visual contrast is provided by state-of-the-art 6 "mid-bass drivers with a white ceramic 
surface. Nothing is self-serving and the sleek organic slim shape enabled by more than 130 old wood bending 
technology ensures perfect elimination of standing waves inside the cabinet. Aluminum and ceramic composite rigidity
The elegance and benefits of the technology can be felt even before the speakers play their first tone.

AQ CANTO 5

Audiophile two-way column speakers are based on proven solutions that give the speakers their unrivaled accuracy 
and ability to reproduce music the way its authors intended. There are also switches hand-soldered with 
component-by-component technology, extreme precision in connecting individual parts and complete elimination 
of internal connector connections. Of course, there are high-quality screw-type speaker terminals, which not only 
allow standard simple connection, but also support Bi-wire or Bi-amp connection.


The very rigid bent beech shell baffle is equipped with a specific 6 "mid-bass driver with a ceramic-coated 
aluminum diaphragm and 3D recesses. This composite diaphragm design results in an extreme ratio between its low 
weight and high rigidity, which makes the speaker very fast and accurate. The tweeter with a 1 "textile top in the 
aluminum top easily plays even the subtlest nuances of the sound. The result is a maximally faithful and dynamic 
sound that convinces with its entertainment, rich musical details and great rendering of the space.

 
The AQ CANTO 5 baffle also uses built-in sand chambers at the bottom, which are used to absorb unwanted resonances. 
The sound presentation is thus more accurate and detailed, even in demanding passages with a strong bass undertone.

 
Thanks to the use of a combination of innovative and traditional technologies, the AQ CANTO 5 speakers set a new 
sound reference in their price category and dimension the listening experience to an unprecedented level.
