Canton Vento 802 Bookshelf Speakers Silver Pair Used German Tested Great Sound

Description: Vento is available in cherry veneer or silver lacquer. My immediate impression was they reminded me of a musical instrument, in finish and shape. This is of course no accident. Canton likens the speaker design to a fine quality instrument such as a violin. To further expound on the beauty and simplicity of design, the speakers have no modular panels, no caps, or end pieces. The veneer is 100% from edge to edge, front, back, and on top. I can only describe the build quality as having a very high level of craftsmanship. The departure for Canton in Vento is the tapered side walls. With a gentle curve from front to back, the tapered shape adds a distinct elegance to an otherwise simple enclosure design. The more time I spent with the speakers, I thought about the shape of an acoustic guitar or violin, and the very complex nature of sound emanating Six layers of wood, individually formed and laminated layer to layer, comprise the construction of the curved sides thereby creating a stiff monocoque structure. The triangular footprint is inherently much stiffer than a rectangular section, and the significant internal bracing prevents distortion from the enclosure itself and therefore creating a sonically neutral enclosure. Monocoque describes the process by which the skin absorbs the stress of the internal structure. Secondly, with the two side walls not in parallel, Canton hopes to achieve a reduction in standing waves. The 802 Bookshelf Speaker The Vento 802 is a two-way shelf or stand speaker. Once again, sporting the same AM-180 midrange and ADT-25 tweeter, the 802 is rear ported. Similar to the 809 it has a sensitivity of 87 dB and is also capable of 4-8 Ohms impedance with a frequency response from 27 Hz - 40 kHz. The 802 is 14.2 high and 12.2 deep.
