Redakcja Choose TV
The Danish company Canvas HiFi has unveiled a new version of its unusual audio system designed for televisions. The Canvas L model is larger, more powerful, and significantly more expensive than its predecessor. The manufacturer claims to have created a device that aims to combine the quality of classic Hi-Fi equipment with the convenience of a soundbar mounted under the television. The new product is designed for the largest screens available on the market. The system can work with televisions with a diagonal of up to 115 inches. Canvas is clearly targeting the premium segment and customers looking for both high-quality sound and elegant design.
ChooseTV L offers 1500 W of power and supports huge televisions
ChooseTV L has been equipped with a completely redesigned speaker layout. The manufacturer has used larger woofers, an additional passive radiator, and a new 3-inch midrange speaker. The entire system offers a peak power of as much as 1500 W. ChooseTV L is also larger than its predecessor and can be mounted under televisions ranging from 65 to even 115 inches. The company has prepared special magnetic covers matched to the width of the largest screens. According to the manufacturer, the device is designed to provide scale and precision known from high-end Hi-Fi setups while maintaining the minimalist look characteristic of modern televisions.
This is one of the most expensive soundbars on the market
Canvas L supports HDMI eARC, Google Cast, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, DLNA, and Roon, among others. It also includes the Bacch 3D system responsible for virtualizing surround sound. The manufacturer has also added new ports, including Ethernet, RCA, and digital coaxial input. However, the most attention-grabbing aspect is its price. The basic version of the set costs around 6000 euros, which places Canvas L significantly above most soundbars from Samsung, LG, Sony, or Sennheiser. The company aims to compete primarily with premium brands such as Bang & Olufsen and targets the most demanding users.
