Welcome back Canton!
The Stereo Shop in Hartford is thrilled to welcome back Canton speakers—a legendary brand we proudly carried for many years. Known for their exceptional German engineering and timeless sound quality, Canton’s return feels like a reunion with an old friend, and we’re excited to share their latest innovations with our customers once again.
Sonus Faber Concertinos
These speakers are absolutely incredible! As the upgraded version of the Minima Amators, they’re the perfect embodiment of Sonus Faber. Solid walnut and beautiful leather make these speakers stylish and durable. They feature a 1-inch soft dome tweeter, a paper pulp midwoofer, and a rear reflect duct (it’s ported in the back!). They’re our best-selling bookshelves year after year, and for good reason! Come see why!

Savants’ latest smart home tech is a game-changer! With Siri and Apple shortcuts, controlling your lights and music is a breeze. Just say, “Hey Siri, open the shades” or “Hey Siri, play Netflix,” or tap your phone on objects in your home to turn on your room lights and your favorite playlist. No need to be a tech wizard; our experienced integration team will help you transform your living space from the Flintstones to the Jetsons in no time!

Mcintosh’s new streamer, the DS200, is a game-changer with its sleek design and impressive performance. No special control app or technical skills are needed .

Is your stereo rack getting full? Mcintosh provided a variable output, allowing you to use the DS200 as a streamer and streaming preamp. *Chefs kiss*
