{"product_id":"cantonvento31bl","title":"Canton Vento 31 Compact Speaker, Black (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Canton Vento 31 is a 2-way compact speaker from the Vento series 2026 that, with its 174 mm mid-woofer and the tweeter from Canton's larger models, delivers more foundation than its size suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn high-gloss black it looks more like a small piece of furniture than a loudspeaker: a narrow baffle, a curved cabinet, a magnetically attached fabric cover. Behind the square Transmission Front Plate sits a 25 mm dome made of Black Ceramic, and below it works a 174 mm cone made of Aluminium Titanium Black. The bass-reflex port faces to the rear. Built in Weilrod, delivered as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Canton Vento 31?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a well-made compact is often the smarter choice than a mediocre floorstander. The 31 takes up almost no floor space, can be placed freely in the room on a stand, and still brings along the tweeter technology of the series' larger models. Compared with the smaller Vento 21, it has the larger driver, and you can hear it in the bass extension, dynamics, and headroom. As a stereo pair in the living room it cuts just as fine a figure as it does as surround speakers in a home cinema of the same series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA precise, tidy image with surprisingly full body in the lower midrange. The tweeter resolves finely without turning harsh, and voices stand palpably between the speakers. The rear port needs a bit of wall clearance: given that, the 31 plays open and fast rather than thick. Even at higher levels it stays composed, which you wouldn't automatically expect from a 40-centimetre-tall box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton Vento 31 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: for small to medium-sized rooms and for anyone who wants good sound without putting two floorstanders in the room. If you want to fill a large, open living space or produce home-cinema bass without a subwoofer, you're better served by a floorstander or an additional subwoofer. And if you go for high-gloss black, know this: the finish is gorgeous and remembers every fingerprint you give it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vento 31 is the compact with the bigger driver: more substance than the 21, the same tweeter technology as the series' floorstanders. On a solid stand and a bit away from the rear wall, it plays noticeably more grown-up than its size suggests. Our experienced team at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil will tell you whether the 31, the smaller 21, or a floorstander is the right answer for your room, and which amplifier goes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact\/bookshelf speaker, passive (Vento series 2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic principle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way bass reflex, rear port (backfire)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid-woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× 174 mm ATB (Aluminium Titanium Black)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× 25 mm BC dome (Black Ceramic) with Transmission Front Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27–40,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficiency (2.83 V\/1 m):\u003c\/strong\u003e 84.1 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal\/music power handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 \/ 150 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-wiring, gold-plated screw terminals, banana-plug compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-gloss black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 × 40 × 35 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 kg per speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2× Vento 31 in high-gloss black, magnetic fabric covers, instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Canton Vento 31 sold as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this listing covers two speakers, a complete stereo pair. For a home-cinema set from the Vento series, a second pair can later be added as surround speakers, plus matching center and subwoofer models. Both speakers come with magnetic fabric covers and the instruction manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a stand for the Vento 31?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot strictly, but it's a good idea. On a solid stand the tweeter sits at ear height, and the speaker gets clearance from the rear wall — exactly what the rearward-facing bass-reflex port needs. Crammed into a full bookshelf, it loses precision in the bass. We also carry matching speaker stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the Vento 31 and the Vento 21?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-woofer: 174 mm on the 31 versus 154 mm on the 21. That gives a deeper frequency response starting at 27 instead of 32 Hz, more power handling, and more headroom. The 31's cabinet is correspondingly larger. The 25 mm tweeter is identical on both models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Vento 31 work without a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor stereo in small to medium-sized rooms, generally yes — 27 Hz frequency response is impressive for a compact speaker. For home cinema with deep effects or for large, open rooms, we recommend a subwoofer. It can be added at any time without changing anything else in your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton Vento 31 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause with compact speakers, placement and amplifier decide the result, and that's exactly where our advice comes in.
