Would not worry too much. The baffle is broad and nicely rounded and stands out sufficiently from the wooden side panels while the gap between baffle and panel is small.

Although I like the brand and many of their loudspeakers I wonder how many would be willing to pay 60000€ for a pair of Cantons. I personally also don't really like the offered colour and veneer combinations, similar models from companies like Sonus Faber, B&W, Focal etc. are visually more appealing to me.
We didn't see the same prices? The Canton Ref Alpha 1 are at 30K euros and the Alpha 2 at 25K euros, which is the price of a B&W 803D4 with mediocre performance . If you look at the Stereophile measurements ,Canton generally measures quite well... For me, my choice would be unequivocal .
Edit ....Oops, sorry! I didn't see that they announced the price per piece on their website.

The Canton prices are per piece so your comparisons don't match. For half of the money someone can get a pair of new KEF Blade 2 Meta for example.We didn't see the same prices?

I corrected it, thank you! In this case, indeed, there are many people in front.
So, given the horn height of 5'6"- I extrapolate that the guy standing next to it is about 6'6" tall.. 
I would love to hear those speakers. I have always enjoyed the listening sessions i've had with that line of speakers, at various audio shows....

I prefer the 60000€ ... at home, or in the bank.

Amazing!
Is that Skeezix?
En français, on l'appelle le professeur Tournesol. I guess, his English name is Professor Calculus (if you are familiar with ´The adventures of Tintin´).
Bad enough to watch architecture of that era still around and not demolished or better, blown up with excessive amounts of C4. Should be enforced by international law.

What a lovely finish- not sure about beautiful, Pj5K, but, my word, they look expensive!
I quite like the looks of these:
Walthen 'Inertia Cube'. Designed as a bridge monitor, I think there are matching 10'' and 12'' subwoofer options.
Also they use a version of the Heil AMT tweeter which I've always had a bit of a thing about, although not for any definitive reason.
