Canton Movie 150 QX

CANTON MOVIE 150 QX SPEAKERS REVIEW - A Compact and Affordable High Performance Solution

March 2007 By Clint Walker

I particularly enjoyed music passages during the audition of the Movie 150 QX proving its ability to escape boundaries established by its name. However, movie performance did prove to be its strongest suit. The soundstage is wide and deep and overall mood enveloping, with strong bass notes delivered from the compact subwoofer.

Dialogue was a little more subdued and overall quite realistic with no signs of chestiness or sibilance. At higher volume levels, I noted excellent control of the speakers—free from unwanted distortion—with exception to the subwoofer which did erupt with port noise. In all fairness, I was pushing the system well beyond that of any reasonable listening level.

The Canton 150 QX represents the top-end of the Movie series. And I cannot help but wonder how the rest in the Movie series performs given the stellar performance of the 150 QX. It seems to me that anyone in the market for a true “micro” satellite speaker system should consider Canton’s latest endeavor—it’s a cheap ticket for a trip on the Audubon. yy
