I saw the title of your post and automatically thought 'I wonder it they're Cantons'? LOL I was right because I have a pair of 40 year Canton Karat 200s that still play quite well. The spring clip connector on one of them has started to get a little loose but it still plays. Good bass too. I have them in my vintage system along with a Denon PMA 757 amp and B&O turntable. Mid-80s lushness.
Needing to replace thirty year old speakers.
I have a thirty year old pair of Canton ergo 80 speakers. I
never felt they were that good. My current system includes
a Chronus magnum dark integrated amplifier, a Cambridge
audio can v2 streamer and two Svs 2000 pro subs. The
Chronic dark replaced an Adcom 555-2 amplifier and an
Adcom 565 preamplifier. I always thought the Adcom
equipment sounded harsh in the upper midrange. The
Chronic solved that problem. It is better than the Adcom
equipment in every way. I like speakers that are slightly
warm sounding but still give detail. My budget is around
$5,000, maybe a little more. What speakers would sound
good with my setup? If a recommended speaker allowed
Me to delete the subs, my wife would be happy 😊

I have not heard them yet myself but from what I’ve read, the relatively new Mofi floor standing Sourcepoint 888’s at $5500 seem like they’re worth a serious audition. I’ve heard their other models are they’re quite good in most ways with no glaring weaknesses. Andrew Jones clearly is an excellent speaker designer. |
IF you can use a rear Passive Radiator Design, I suspect you could sell your subs to help pay for these Klipsch Forte IV https://www.crutchfield.com/p_700FORTE4W/Klipsch-Heritage-Forte-IV-American-Walnut.html open box in cherry, $3,850.
