The cone woofers, which are now made of lightweight, low-resonance titanium graphite, have grown to a larger diameter of now 22 centimeters. The effortlessness of the performance, however, can of course not be read therein – you have to have heard it. On the data sheet, this becomes evident in the lower cut-off frequency, specified at 20 Hertz. Inside, the ported volume grew in a physically relevant way, aiming to achieve even more sovereignty and depth: the 100 weighs almost 40 kilograms. Especially since the elegant Vento, with its matte shimmering drivers in the high-gloss baffle, appears particularly noble, but never overbearing. The handful of Reference 1K and 2K speakers range above it in terms of size and need for space but the new Vento still comes closer to the considerably more expensive but almost equally large 3K (read our review of the Canton Reference 3K here) than to its predecessor. The base has been modified so that the new Vento almost appears to be floating, despite its size. In the German average living room of about 25 square meters, it can still be adequately placed with little issues, though. Without a doubt, the three-way Canton and its height of just under 116 centimeters is on the verge of exceeding the boundaries set by roommates and rooms. In fact, Canton has managed to hide the larger dimensions – emplying modern design with curved sides in a 'bow shape', round cabinet edges and a particularly high quality finish – rather than let them catch your eye dominantly.
