Focal Kanta No.2

@kosst_amojan

Well actually my interest in the measurements came because I have heard them recently. Not much to say except rather mediocre considering the price and they certainly can’t hold a candle to their top of the line products. I think the budget line of Focal like the 936 is much better value. The aesthetics may be the only significant improvement over their budget line.

I'd kinda hope you're getting a bit more sound quality when you spend 20 times the price of the Kantas No.2 on a pair of speakers. No doubt Focal's lower priced speaker represent excellent value! That's why I bought 936's instead of 1008 Be's. I wouldn't expect Kanta No.2's to compare well with Utopia products. I'd expect something like a 948's sound with more refined highs and better balanced dispersion. And I'd expect to pay twice what my 936's cost to get that. 

I took a look at Shadorne’s system....hmmm, ok then.  Dig those SPL’s...yeah!!  Have fun crankin’ Free Bird

dave_b,

It’s the best system on Audiogon and probably in the world. Please read the thousands of his posts saying so. :)

Dave,

Unfortunately not even close.

Since I have only ordinary bits of wire everywhere between components it is close to the worst on Audiogon. An ordinary USB cable too. Ordinary balanced XLR cables to the amp. The speaker wires are also just ordinary copper wires. Entirely ho hum and not even at your local Best Buy Monster cable level (around $100) which means absolutely terrible by Audiogon standards. No special fuses. No treatments. My system suffers every one of the horrible scary sound destroying ills that a multitude of specialist cables and tweaks could easily correct (with the appropriate hundreds of hours of break in, of course).
