[Vinyl Rules!]

Ok, it’’s going to either Canton’s older 295 lb. Reference 1K’s that Ivan really liked, or their newer 178 lb. 2023 Reference 1’s.

If any of you have been fortunate enough to hear both, I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’m inclined to purchase the Reference 1K (2015) as its two 308mm woofers can move 32% more air than the three 219mm woofers in the Reference 1. This is important to me as I REALLY want to get rid of the two subwoofers in my system.

I guess the bass could be good on the 2023 Reference 1 as the posted bass response specs are identical (18Hz - 40kHz). But since the older 2015 1K has more bass radiator area, it will push more air and perhaps allow me to ditch my subs.

Please share your thoughts with me.

Thanks.
