These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Canton Vento 50 ranks #52 of 131 center channel speakers by sound quality; the Canton Vento 100 ranks #118 of 226 floorstanding speakers by sound quality.
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.
What the Canton Vento 100 does well: The flagship of the Vento line with two 220mm woofers. The tradeoff: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers.
One note: the Canton Vento 50 is discontinued, but it still ranks #52 of 131 center channel speakers by sound quality, ahead of most of what is still sold new, so it is worth considering used.
Buy the Canton Vento 50 for a center channel speaker, or the Canton Vento 100 for a floorstanding 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 50 3.4 to 4.2; Canton Vento 100 3.7 to 4.5). Treat this verdict as provisional.

Canton Vento 100 Discontinued Estimated eBay
Same family: the Canton Vento 20 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 4/5), the Canton Vento 30 (larger bookshelf, estimated 4/5), the Canton Vento 80 (smaller floorstanding, ranked lower, estimated 4/5), the Canton Vento 90 (smaller floorstanding, ranked higher, estimated 4.1/5) and the Canton Vento 50 (center, estimated 3.8/5).
Pros: The flagship of the Vento line with two 220mm woofers. Hi-Fi News measured bass to 34Hz (-3dB), and Enjoy the Music praised its bass authority and composure at volume. Measured sensitivity of 86dB.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. Hi-Fi News measured 86dB sensitivity with a 4.2 ohm minimum, so it needs a strong amplifier. It is discontinued, replaced by the Vento 101.
