CANTON Vento Reference 3 DC vs. the 3.2 Model

Hello fellow audiophiles,

After a few years away from the scene I have decided to return to our hobby. That being said a few years ago I sold my Salk HT3 and were my favorites speakers. I sold them because my son was going to college and needed some extra funds. So my son graduated two years ago and now I am looking for some speakers.

Right now I am looking at the CANTON Vento Reference 3 DC on sale at Accessories4less for $3800 / pr with free shipping and a free Vendor Reference 50.2 Center channel. Because I only plan to use this for 2 channel only for an office studio that is being constructed I will sell the center speaker unopened. Room is 11 x 18 with 8.5 for ceilings.

Here is my main question? Is there a big difference between the CANTON Vento Reference 3 DC (older model) vs the 3.2 newer model. The sales person told me that there was only a minor difference with that being they changed and upgraded the tweeter. 

Does anyone have any experience between these two models? Is is mere cosmetic or does the newer model produce better sound as well? At this point I am only looking at this speakers and not any others. I listen mostly to jazz and older RnB. 

Thank you,

Hello, I have the Canton Reference 3/3.2 too, is it awesome speakers.
I bough on Audiogon used, and I have the Canton Reference 5 and Vento 807, the last one I bought from Accessories4less new, and my first Canton speaker. And I used to have the Canton Vento 809, sold to a friend. Really amazing sound speakers.
