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 heard a quick demo at the show today and they sounded quite good although the music was unfamiliar to me.

I listened to them as well. I realize they wouldn’t be at their best in a show setting, but they showed a lot of promise. I was told by another rep. , that they are replacing the Electra series with these. I think it is a good step. The Electra’s have been around a long time, but the new Kanta series will be a great companion to the Sopra line at a better price point. It was nice to be one of the first to see and hear the new product.

They sounded good to me . The rep stated they use the Aria's flax drivers and the Sopra's tweeter

This is one of few speaker companies that I pay attention to. Did you hear those with tube, hybrid or ss amps? One of the reasons of why I do is that some used Utopias can be had for a reasonable price. A lot of sound for $4k -$6k, especially with the right amp match.
I also pay attention to speakers like Lansche and Kharma, but this is academic, I will unlikely ever be able to afford them.
