CANVAS HiFi wins a Best in show award CES 2025

CANVAS HiFi has been at the world's largest electronics fair CES in the USA and TECH journalists from Ecoustics had no doubts.

"Canvas Soundbar Destroys the Competition at CES 2025 - Best in Show"

"The widest and most spacious sound of any single speaker bar on the market"

"You are guaranteed to hear sounds where no speaker exists. Simply amazing!"

"The Canvas may look like a soundbar, but it's actually all-in-one integrated hi-fi system for music and movies"

CANVAS HiFi on CES 2025

”Nothing could beat the two ultra-sophisticated soundbars I auditioned from Danish makers Dynaudio and Canvas”

“These all-in-one rigs were so refined—and in Canvas’ case, revolutionary—that you might seriously consider downsizing your residence (and trashing a multi-speaker setup) just to have an excuse to buy one.”

“Canvas dares to challenge Hi-Fi music systems in head-to-head comparisons”

“Its ability to deliver a lifelike, three-dimensional listening experience had me returning home from CES with serious Canvas envy.”

One of Europe's leading test magazines FWD has done an in-depth test of CANVAS HiFi

“No other audio set for TV sound that we have ever tested elicited so many compliments from visitors.”

”It transforms any TV of 55-inches or larger into a handsome modern design piece”

“Canvas has many more power reserves than a soundbar”

“Star Trek where a Starfleet ship is attacked out of nowhere, cries and dialogue are not lost in the din of explosions and sirens. It's a great result, which is also more cinematic than expected. Those special effects come in very intensely”

“If you compare it to regular soundbars, the Canvas is clearly a luxury product”

Tech interview CES 2025 about CANVAS HiFi

“CANVAS HiFi's Sustainable and Stylish New Era of Home Audio Systems”

“CANVAS HiFi has combined the innovative design and functionality of integrated sound systems for TVs, highlighting their aesthetic appeal, sustainability, and adaptability to various home environments.”

Digital trends proclaims CANVAS HiFi as one of the best audio products of CES 2025

Digital Trends, the largest independent premium technology publisher in the world and award-winning media publication that guides consumers to the best technology products experienced CANVAS HiFi at CES 2025.

“Most impressive aspect is the Canvas’ sound. We heard this speaker demonstrated on a busy show floor, and when company CEO Laust Nielsen cranked up the volume, it brought every conversation to a stop. The bass was so powerful, it felt like I was standing next to a subwoofer.”

Recognized German HiFi Test has made a detailed test of CANVAS HiFi

“The term soundbar only describes the Canvas to a limited extent. It is much more of a soundbar, hi-fi system and elegant TV mount in one.”

“The Canvas reveals every instrument and every voice wonderfully and at the same time conveys the respective work of art with the right mood to the listener”

“The engineering with the latest DSP technology, a lot of hi-fi know-how and solid mechanical workmanship deserves respect, and last but not least, the Canvas simply sounds great”

Team CANVAS HiFi announced as best newcomer 2024/2025

The editors at the Nordics' largest electronics magazine have announced CANVAS HiFi as the best newcomer 2024/2025

“CANVAS has partnered with L&B, demonstrating unwavering dedication and excellence throughout the entire process. Their commitment to maintaining open communication has played a crucial role in successfully delivering outstanding projects and activities.“

Scandinavia's largest music media GAFFA has tested CANVAS HiFi

“The best sound from my TV I have ever experienced. The sound was big, beautiful and enveloping.“

“The effect was like having speakers placed all around me, and I really felt like I was in the middle of the soundstage, both when watching films and when listening to music.“

“A full high-fi system, hidden under the TV, and at the same time it turns the TV into a beautiful piece of furniture.“

“Delivers a great bottom end to the soundstage, above the clear and very nice trebles and mids that spread out the soundstage beautifully.“

“I love the design, it really looked great in my living room.“

“For a system of this quality, its a very reasonable price.“

The German trendsetter in consumer electronics HEIMKINO has tested CANVAS HiFi and has no doubts

“The Canvas sound system impresses right from the start. At no point do you get the impression that you are sitting in front of a soundbar that is limited in its capabilities”

“A grandiose idea that you can only experience with full-sized HiFi floor standing speakers of the better kind”

“Canvas HiFi does pretty much everything right.”

CANVAS HiFi gets 5 out of 5 stars from HiFi Choice

“When is a soundbar so much more than a soundbar? When it’s from Canvas HiFi”

“It delivers music with an authority and scale that’s far beyond rivals”

“its bass performance is class leading”

“it will happily take on all duties, thanks to a focused, full-range, largescale sound that works brilliantly with both music and movies.”

“To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee: That’s not a soundbar… this is a soundbar”

CANVAS HiFi is voted best soundbar of the year.

The Nordic region's largest consumer electronics magazine Lyd og Billede has, after thorough testing, voted CANVAS HiFi the best soundbar of the year 2024-2025, Ultra High-end.

“Canvas HiFi challenges traditional categories with its combination of speaker, soundbar and furniture - all in one product. And the sound is impressive.“

“The Canvas HiFi 65’ is a truly impressive product that delivers high sound quality in a stylish and functional package. It's perfect for those who want powerful hi-fi quality in their TV room without having to fill it with large speakers.“

CANVAS HiFi wins an AV Forums Editor's Choice Awards for the best Hi-Fi products.

“The Editor’s Choice Awards celebrate the best products of the year. They are the items we think stand head and shoulders above the rest.”

“For people looking for a solution that delivers excellent performance without dominating the space it's in the CANVAS is a well engineered and beautifully realised solution that adds to the idea that great audio is now available in a way that works around your needs rather than making you work for it.”

CANVAS HiFi is specially recommended by the Nordic region's largest consumer electronics magazine after extensive testing.

“The Canvas HiFi 65’ is a fascinating product that challenges the way we think about hi-fi and home cinema. Is it a soundbar, a speaker or a piece of furniture? The answer is that it is all of these things at once.“

“Almost enough to bring a little tear to the corner of your eye. It's so beautiful! Every TV suddenly looks like a piece of high-end furniture!“

“It's when the music starts playing that the Canvas HiFi 65’ really shows what it's made of. Even before the room correction is done, everything sounds rich and big. Dialogue in particular seems much bigger and more dynamic than on any other TV I've heard. It's more resolved and more ‘hi-fi’ than from a regular soundbar, whether it's Sonos, Samsung or Sony. Everything is in place here.“

“The speaker masterfully separates between instruments and vocals in music, and dialogue in movies and TV shows is clear as day. Even the smallest nuances come through.“

“Particularly impressive is the low volume performance, where many competitors lose character and detail. That doesn't happen with Canvas.“

“The effect is especially impressive with film sound, where BACCH 3D technology helps create a convincing surround effect without the need for separate rear speakers.“

“It's more natural, it's more real, you actually feel the acoustic power, the pressure of it, and the scene comes alive.“

“Yes, it really works. It's almost like a 360 degree effect. You can hear the guy talking to you all the way around.“

“The strong point of CANVAS is that you gain closeness with the sound, it touches us more.“
