Comparison and Conclusion
Both models are superb value and offer deep rich sounds throughout. The 10 has the edge on the bass with a 79mm woofer set as opposed to the 9’s 50mm giving a 19mm upgrade per driver (4 ). Both soundbars are build to fit smartly below a tv with very similar measurements (9: 90x7cm/10: 99x7cm). This also allows the speaker to be placed on a sideboard or wall. They come in two finishes – Silver Lacquer, Silver Glass or Black Lacquer, Black Glass so it can stylishly be integrated into your room.
In conclusion, these two soundbars are the perfect match for your home cinema system integrating seamlessly with your existing room or even just as a glorified home audio System. If you don’t have a large amount of space available, the Canton Soundbar 9 will suit. However, if your going for a larger, more impactful sound with extra bass reinforcement the Canton Soundbar 10 is the one for you.
