Canton Vento 20 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers

The modern look of the new Vento

We've redesigned the look and technology of our Vento premium speaker series. Thanks to the modern design, with discreetly curved side panels, rounded cabinet edges and high-quality surfaces with a perfect finish, the new Vento speakers have a very self-assured appearance. The harmoniously proportioned premium speakers offer a perfect balance between timeless elegance and powerful performance. This makes the Vento models universally usable - they are an enrichment for the most diverse living spaces. Despite their compact enclosures, the Vento 20s deliver plenty of sound. They look great freestanding in the room, placed on the matching LS 860 speaker stands, and offer a balanced, very broadband sound with clear structures. Alternatively, standing on a shelf or sideboard, it cuts a first-class figure - both visually and sonically. It can be used as a stereo and home cinema loudspeaker and impresses with its elegant design and excellent workmanship.

Titanium Graphite - high-quality technology

The Vento 20 relies on the outstanding technical properties of our newly developed drivers with titanium graphite diaphragms. Due to the matt shimmering titanium graphite diaphragms, the speakers are characterised by their restrained elegance. The drivers nestle seamlessly into the high-gloss lacquered baffles without any visible screw connections. The latest generation of wave surrounds, capable of particularly large excursions, ensure deep bass and high power handling. The new driver technology is based on the previous titanium drivers: their surface is treated in a complex chemical process and acoustically brought to a new level. The aim was to minimise the partial vibrations that damage the sound. With less weight, the new titanium graphite chassis are stiffer and have better damping. In addition, the new drivers work as perfect piston transducers and thus offer ideal conditions for reproducing acoustic signals with high fidelity.

Noble enclosures for the best sound

The new cabinets not only look superb, they also have to meet our high technical requirements. The revised design ensures that there is more interior volume available to tune the speakers with more bandwidth in the low frequency range. This gives the new Vento speakers an even more contoured and clean sound. On the other hand, the revised cabinet radii and the new basic shape ensure less sound interference from the cabinet itself. With a variety of cabinet finishes available, the modern and timelessly elegant Vento loudspeaker models feel at home in many interior design styles. At the same time, the cabinets of the new Ventos meet the highest standards of workmanship. The premium speakers are available in white and black "high gloss" lacquers.

Eyes on the details

The speaker terminals in the new Ventos have been redesigned both visually and technically to ensure maximum conductivity. The solid screw terminals, in single or bi-wiring design depending on the Vento model, hold cable cross-sections of up to 10 mm² and offer the option of accommodating speaker cables with banana plugs or fork bridges. The upgraded terminals have a special high-quality and conductive material, with new terminals and a finer thread. As a result, we also achieve reference-worthy contacting in the Vento series for perfect sound development and long-term stable contact to connected amplifiers. The innovations of the Vento series continue with the high-quality fabric covers. The straight panels at the top and discreetly curved panels at the bottom provide an unobtrusive, calm appearance. Thanks to the flat design, the acoustically neutral fabric panels nestle harmoniously on the baffles. All our Vento speakers are equipped with inconspicuous black fabric covers that do not affect the sound of the premium speakers. 

Well selected quality

In addition to their elegant appearance, the Vento 20 compact models impress with their high technical quality. They are constructed from multi-layer laminate in many individual steps and are braced several times on the inside, resulting in very solid and low-resonance cabinets: ideal for superior sound development. In addition, the sophisticated damping of the cabinets and selected crossover components of the highest quality ensure that the sound of the 30-centimetre-high and approximately 6-kilogram loudspeakers is optimised. In each of the elegant bass-reflex cabinets, a 154 mm titanium graphite bass-midrange driver provides clean bass. Thanks to Wave Bead technology, the Vento 20 follow acoustic signals quickly and precisely. Our high-calibre 25 mm dome tweeter with aluminium oxide ceramic diaphragm makes the Vento 20 a speaker with a broadband performance.
