![]() It matches the Ventos for resolution (which is quite good). In any case, the Vento is very nice and if the Elac can beat it, I would consider that quite a feat!īass is better (deeper) than the Vento's. The impressive thing about the Cantons is the next (by increasing price) better speaker I have found would be the Philharmonic BMR (I suspect the Philharmonitor at $1100, IIRC, would actually be the next step up, but I have not heard it). Currently, the more recent Vento 826 is equivalent (only cosmetic changes as far as I can tell) for $600/pr (in white - black costs $100 more right now): from my perspective! Obviously, he did not go into his review with an automatic win for anything Andrew Jones has done, so his positive review led me to buy a pair from Crutchfield (who has a generous 60 day $15 flat fee return policy for a "did not like" return-they pay all shipping).Īt this $600/pr price, the Canton Ventos are my "champion"! Often they may cost more, and pricing at A4L is variable, but I got my 6" Vento 820.2's for $600/pr. Hearing some dissension from Amir was a refreshing confirmation of my earlier opinions on them and gives Amir legitamacy. The Pioneer were better than anything else at the same price, but, while not bad, the two Elac speakers I have heard (original Debut and the Uni-Fi) were nothing for the competition to fear! IMHO, the Andrew Jones momentum that Elac bought and the hype of the reviews for these two speakers was more result of marketing strategy than sound quality. I have generally been disappointed with Andrew Jones' Elac speakers.
