Focal Kanta No.2


Focal introduced a new line today beginning with the Kanta No.2. It looks like they're positioning it between the W cone equipped 1000 series and the Sopra. It's got the shape of the older Utopia products before they went segmented. Any thoughts? Curious what people will think when they hear them.

I listened to Triton 2s a while ago, and came away with the distinct impression that they were primarily voiced with HT in mind.

Of course, you, Kosst, mmeysarosh, and all others are entitled to their listening preferences and opinions.

Triton naysayers should consider another listen or hearing confirmation check, as I come to learn (today, and unconfirmed although via a reliable source) that the new Stereophile Recommended Components issue is out and the Triton Reference (yes, I know I’m quoting your T2 comment) is in CLASS A - FULL RANGE. **AND** the **least expensive** member of that very-elite group, by a factor of 2x.

Just sayin :)

All good.

Besides, as a general rule of thumb, as far as this forum is concerned, I consider you a Phriend :)
Thank you @mmeysarosh. Your previous response herein is very well stated, and rather gentlemanly like too for that matter. In principal, I agree with you.
The thing is that all that "real good bass" is overblown. Overblown bass is what people like in home theater speakers.

I disagree, but I respect your opinion.

I’ve found the bass to have the right "weight" to it. IMO, the crossover integration from mid-to-low bass is as good as it gets, or at least as good as I’ve heard. There’s also a DSP processor ahead of the sub amplifier to further refine the bass signal.
We all hear different and that is what makes this hobby so much fun.

Right. And lets not forget that there are those on the forum with supernatural hearing; able to distinguish when an ordinary speaker wires cable direction (not polarity) is switched from speaker to amp and vice versa :)
Why is it that we can’t just make our choices, enjoy what we have and be happy for each other? We are a truly troubled species.

If the game is lost then we're all the same
No one left to place or take the blame.

I was listening to Mickey Hart’s Planet Drums last night.

Enjoy! I knew you were a Phriend. :)
