High street retailer Comet has selected Canton speakers to bundle with Sonos wireless streaming music systems in its larger out-of-town megastores.

Sonos systems sold through 12 of the biggest Comet stores will be sold with a pair of the German company’s entry-level GLE 420.2 stereo speakers.
The two-way GLE 420.2 includes a 1in fabric-domed tweeter and 6in aluminium bass driver, which uses Canton’s own ‘wave surround’ technology to deliver a lower, yet more precise bass response.
The cabinet is made from high-quality MDF with an aluminium grille to protect the drivers and Comet will offer the speakers in black and white.
Ben Goff, product marketing manager for UK distributor Computers Unlimited, said: “The bundling with Sonos is ideally suited to those consumers who wish to have wireless multiroom systems yet still want to maintain the quality a standalone hi-fi is able to offer.”
The Canton speakers will be available from the selected Comet stores and from the Comet website for £350 per pair from 1 February 2011, both on their own or bundled with the Sonos system.
