Canton unveils Vento 880 DC and Vento 810 high-end speakers

Canton, Germany’s largest manufacturer of high-quality loudspeakers, has announced the introduction of three-way floor-standing Vento 880 DC and the two-way Vento 810 compact bookshelf speaker . The Vento 880 DC has the nominal power handling (RMS) of 140 Watts  and the 810 bookshelf can handle 60 Watts of nominal power.

The Vento 880 and Vento 810 include the:

• ADT-25 aluminum-manganese dome tweeter, with Canton’s flared "transmission" style front plate and advanced suspension for outstanding off-axis linearity and high frequency dispersion.
• Newly refined 6-inch woofer that affords them a slimmer footprint while maintaining a highly musical deep bass response .
• The Vento 880 DC is a three-way bass reflex floor-standing model, featuring a pair of aluminum cone woofers, and a matched 6-inch aluminum midrange driver. It also features Canton’s exclusive DC (Displacement Control) technology, which uses a proprietary high-pass filter to eliminate signals below the audible frequency range, which can otherwise generate high levels of unwanted harmonic distortion in the audible lower bass range. DC technology allows the speaker to provide clear, linear bass reproduction at frequencies lower than comparably-sized conventional speakers.
• The Vento 810 is a compact two-way speaker with a single 6-inch aluminum woofer, and is ideal for use as a small monitor for audiophile-grade music reproduction, or as a satellite or surround speaker for a full-fledged home theater system.
• The Vento 880 DC and Vento 810 each feature gold-plated speaker terminals, including biwire/biamp capability for the 880 DC.

Each model is available in the line’s hand-rubbed black, white, or silver piano- lacquer finish, as well as a stunning high-gloss cherry veneer finish, at suggested price of $ 2250 for Vento 850 and $ 800 for Vento 810.
