Kanta line

I’m so disappointed by the pricing. $2,000 more and you get the no3 instead of no2. No one will buy 2s. The 2s should be 9k.

Also the bookshelf speakers for $6k... good lord.

I couldn't find pricing on them. It looks like Electra prices are dropping though. 

I've always felt the no. 2 should have 8"-ers.  The cabinet would only have to have been fractionally wider to accommodate them. Now I know why they didn't.  Pity.  Turns the no.2 into a designer speaker, or possibly for small spaces.

Maybe that is why I saw an Electra on sale at Music direct.  It was half price at 3999.00

They are 7999 on Amazon prime per pair. So guess if found the right dealer figure 20% off that. 

I wonder how that Kanta No. 3 might compare to Sopra 2?

I've been seeing 1028's going for 948 prices. I wouldn't dismiss the No.2 just based on the woofer size. The 8" woofers are only getting you 2Hz more bass extension. Is that even noticable? Like the 936 and 948, they're just different speakers made for different sized spaces. 

Ok let me clear up some ignorance and misinformation here.
The Electras on amazon are the discounted price.  No dealer will get you a better price.  That's not the new retail, that's the new lowest price anyone can sell, based on the same cost as before.  $5,000 for 1028's is an awesome deal, however these speakers are OLD.  The Kantas are better sounding speakers. More laid back. 

Overture Audio isn't even listing the Electra anymore. It looks like those are close out prices.
