"Stunning.  Mesmerizing.  Holographic."

We all want cleaner, more immersive sound. With a whopping six or seven times the acoustical size of little speakers plus precisely aligned acoustical tuning, the 753 may be a precision, pinpoint audiophile loudspeaker in its design tune, but it has the authority to illuminate a film soundtrack too.

Power meets precision

With far more active cone area than average, Chane's 753 has clean output and excellent sensitivity nailed. But it's the careful driver choices, custom crossover engineering, and final tuning that give the 753 the wall-to-wall sound and superb focus that audiophiles crave.

This unique prosumer blend makes the Chane 753 special: Higher than average acoustic power meets Chane's emphasis on dialing in the underpinning design to deliver walls of natural and authentic sound. It's an uncommon entry in its class.

The players

Anchoring the 753's bass section is a trio of 8" ScanSpeak woofers in a sealed bass alignment. To this foundation a responsive, matching 6.5" midrange driver bridges the middle of the spectrum; its light cellulose cone delivering both signal-tracking detail and smooth response.

Perhaps most impressive is the 753's genuine 1" Italian compression driver by Eighteen Sound. It covers the model's top four octaves and with a constant-coverage aluminum horn creates the 753's exceptionally clean, uncolored, and dynamic treble range.

Alignment matters

Making it all work is a highly-developed custom Chane crossover network. It has Solen polypropylene capacitors and non-inductive audio resistors.

Well-managed acoustical behaviors and a balanced response deliver the 753's open, see-through acoustical presentation. They make real acoustical presence and power in user's spaces.  We'd like you to hear them too.

Review of Chane 753 towers

Here's how I would rate the 753 tower speaker.

Shipping Packaging: 3 out of 5
Subjective Build Quality: 3 out of 5
Subjective Appearance: 3 out of 5
Value for the Money: 3 out of 5
Bass Extension: 3.5 out of 5
Midrange Smoothness & Clarity: 3 out of 5
Treble Smoothness & Clarity: 4 out of 5
Soundstage in untreated room: 3.5 out of 5
Imaging: 4 out of 5

Pros:
1) It’s all about the tweeter. Best feature of the speakers.
2) Not too large for towers.
3) Somewhat of a good value for the money.
4) Magnetic grills work well and look good.
5) Sealed speakers allow for flexible placement.
6) Finish is black ash vinyl and looks ok for what it is.
7) They sound better than what I replaced them with.

Cons:
1) The packaging was quite dirty and had visible damage to the boxes. One of the boxes was missing a foam part that holds the speaker cover. However, both speakers and grills were still ok and showed no visible signs of damage.
2) Speaker connectors are difficult to fasten fully tight. They are too close to each other and somewhat hard to use using lockable banana plugs.
3) The speaker feet shipped separately. They didn’t show up in the mail until days later after the speakers arrived, but they are well-built, easy to install and they look good.
4) Crossover includes an assorted mix of somewhat premium and budget parts. However, given the sub $2,000 price point I suppose this is to be expected.

Overall they are ok speakers for $1,980 shipped. These replaced my first generation Chane Arx5 towers which I had used for over 5 years.

Probably the 753 is best used for home theater use. I don't consider them as true“ "audiophile” grade speakers. I think the 753 competes best with the Klipsch Reference Premiere 8000 speakers, but those sell for hundreds less on Amazon.

I needed a sub to pair with the 753 speakers. They do integrate well with my Hsu Uls-15 Mk2 sealed sub so at least they have that going for them.

Chane 753...Absolute....

I have owned the 753 and 752 models for 3 years now, everyday with these speakers still seems to me like I'm in the honeymoon phase, I recently acquired a Schiit Freya+ which runs to a MPS-1 amplifier with two blades installed as I'm currently running my 753 in a 2.0 setup, for 2ch use the 753 are stunning, like any speaker you need to find that perfect toe in/out and placement and wow, I literally stayed up till almost 5am(home alone) listening to so many albums as I just couldn't stop myself until eventually my brain said time for sleep.

The clean dynamic and enveloping sound these produce is absolute and literally gives me goosebumps and the chills with those albums and singles that I know so well. Music is just beyond what I have ever previously heard through other systems.

An excerpt from my full review here:

"These speakers are not only impressive, they have made my entire system seem to sound better. I notice things like a more dynamic blend between the mains/center and my surrounds/atmos setup, especially my atmos setup, this is likely the 3 dimensionality at play. The 2.4As in surround duty are absolutely wonderful, one of the things I really care about is a strong phantom image between mains and surrounds, here the 753s and 2.4As blend in a really convincing way. The center upgrade was a big one, I expected differences to be subtle, expecting the mains to carry a big load on the center image. I didn't consider how the center is playing alot more then just dialogue, that is now apparent as I'm hearing and noticing alot more front to back detail in the middle of the sound stage. The 753s have added tremendous detail and in playing movies I'm very familiar with I'm noticing sounds at different depths that I did not notice prior. In general I'm just noticing new things left and right."

Incredible speakers

I’ve owned speakers from many different brands (Emotiva, Goldenear, JBL, Infinity, Monolith, Magnat to name a few) and these are unquestionably the best. The treble is detailed, refined and resolving, yet very smooth. Absolutely no listening fatigue. The midrange is very present with voices sounding full and natural. The bass is tight and authoritative yet has tone and nuance.

The way this speaker projects sound is amazing; it’s holographic and enveloping. These are my living room speakers in a 2.1 setup. People frequently question if we have surround sound because of the speakers ability to place sounds throughout the room.

These speakers are a pleasure to listen to.
