What Canvas L Is: An Audiophile-Grade Large Screen Soundbar
Canvas L is an audiophile-grade large screen soundbar designed to deliver 1,500-watt peak theater-level audio and BACCH 3D+ spatial sound for televisions between 65 and 115 inches, combining a high-power GaN amplification platform, a revised multi-driver array, and design-conscious wall mounting to replace both traditional soundbars and separate stereo systems in premium TV setups. Canvas HiFi positions Canvas L as a serious hi-fi system that happens to live under big-screen TVs rather than a lifestyle bar, extending the concept of the original Canvas to larger displays and rooms. Its enclosure grows wider to align with 65-, 75-, 77-, 83-, and 85-inch screens, with custom options up to 115 inches, while an improved BACCH 3D+ algorithm aims to retain precise imaging and a wide soundstage from a single cabinet placed directly below the screen.
Inside the 1,500-Watt GaN Power Platform
At the heart of the Canvas L soundbar is a new amplification stage built around GaN power amplification and a revised driver layout. The system assigns 2 x 300 watts to the 8-inch woofers, 2 x 200 watts to the new 3-inch Scan-Speak midrange drivers, and 2 x 50 watts to the SB Acoustics tweeters, for a total peak output of 1,500 watts supported by a highly efficient GaN power supply with substantial reserves. This is a large jump from the original Canvas, which was rated at 250 watts, and signals a move toward handling bigger rooms and higher playback levels without needing external amps or a subwoofer. According to eCoustics, “total peak power is rated at 1,500 watts, supported by a highly efficient GaN power supply with substantial power reserves,” underlining Canvas L’s focus on dynamic range and headroom.
BACCH 3D+ Spatial Audio Without Object-Based Formats
Unlike many premium TV speakers that depend on Dolby Atmos or other object-based surround formats, Canvas L relies on an improved BACCH 3D+ spatial audio algorithm to create immersive soundscapes from a single front-mounted cabinet. BACCH processing uses psychoacoustic filters to control how each ear receives sound from the drivers, expanding perceived width and depth even though all speakers sit directly beneath the screen. The original Canvas already used BACCH 3D to project a large soundstage; the new BACCH 3D+ filter in Canvas L is tuned for higher output and a wider baffle, targeting listeners with 65-inch and larger displays who sit farther back. For buyers of large TVs who want cinematic immersion but prefer a clean front wall, Canvas L’s BACCH 3D+ spatial audio offers a different route to enveloping sound without rear speakers or ceiling channels.
Driver, Cabinet, and Connectivity Upgrades for Big-Screen Systems
Canvas L’s hardware moves far beyond a scaled-up bar. The cabinet is 8.4 inches wider than the original, built from highly rigid Compact Density Fiberboard with BridgeBrace+ internal bracing to reduce resonance. A custom 3-inch Scan-Speak midrange driver, 8-inch woofers, and additional 8-inch passive radiators extend response from 25 Hz to 40 kHz, supported by an SB Acoustics tweeter module. Connectivity broadens to match its high-end role: HDMI eARC, Toslink, digital coaxial, Ethernet/LAN, and 2-channel RCA inputs cater to both TV audio and traditional hi-fi sources. Control4 support brings it into smart home systems, and Canvas’s app-based room correction remains available. In effect, Canvas L functions as an all-in-one front end and power stage for large-screen living rooms, bridging the gap between premium TV soundbars and compact stereo systems.
Design, Mounting Flexibility, and Who Canvas L Is For
Beyond specifications, Canvas L targets buyers who care about design as much as driver counts. The wall-mount system and grille architecture are built to sit flush with compatible TVs, using removable wood or fabric fronts in 13 finishes to match décor. The revised TV bracket and lighter hybrid floor/wall mount allow the bar to support 65- to 85-inch panels directly, with optional custom solutions extending to 98–115 inches or adapting to Samsung The Frame via the HiFi FRAME L. The soundbar can also be visually detached from the display to function more like a stereo console. CEO Laust Nielsen says the goal was “to deliver a true audiophile experience with the emotional engagement, scale and precision of high-end hi-fi — integrated seamlessly into contemporary interior design,” clearly signaling that Canvas L is aimed at design-aware audiophile TV owners.
