Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Canton Vento 30 ranks #94 of 214 bookshelf speakers by sound quality; the Canton Vento 50 ranks #52 of 131 center channel speakers by sound quality.

The case for the Canton Vento 30: A larger Canton Vento 20 with a 174mm titanium graphite woofer and the same ceramic dome tweeter in a 36cm cabinet, for more bass and power handling. The tradeoff: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers.
The case for the Canton Vento 50: The center of the Vento line in the Canton Vento 20 family, with two 174mm titanium graphite drivers around the ceramic dome tweeter. Watch for: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers.
Worth knowing: the Canton Vento 50 is discontinued, though it still ranks #52 of 131 center channel speakers by sound quality, so a used unit beats most of what is still sold new.
Buy the Canton Vento 30 for a bookshelf speaker; the Canton Vento 50 suits a center channel speaker instead.
About the ratings: neither speaker has been measured yet, so both ratings are estimated from measured siblings and predecessors (likely ranges: Canton Vento 30 3.6 to 4.4; Canton Vento 50 3.4 to 4.2). Treat this verdict as provisional.
