Focal Kanta No.2

@stereo5 
No dung being flung, many speakers aren't agreeable to wide number of listeners, otherwise no choices would exist perfect sound would be replicated by the worlds only loud speaker manufacture.

Also, let it be known that non should have an opinion that differs than your own and acute hearing leaves us only dreaming of sound that only your gifted self can experience. This last sentence being a true representation of horse dung.

A good number of people who feel that way about GE products and others that only exude praise for them. But what I can say is the the Triton One had pretty notable treble flair starting at the upper mid to lower treble transition. The also have a an elevated upper treble to compensate for dispersion loss at 10khz and above. It also displays some vertical dispersion changes. Not to mention the mid driver has been measured to have an appreciable amount of distortion in nearly all of its operating range. Not a benchmark performance, even at some of its given prices.

So their difficult to setup well, do not have as clean a reproduction of critical ranges, and have driver linearity issues at the tweeter. Now they have recently improved the distortion figures in the plus series and further improved the dispersion characteristics in their reference series. In listening, imaging is wide but depth is somewhat shortened compared to others. 

I've heard the Vandy Quartro Wood and not my cup of tea, but certainly not bad at all. Neither is the GE line for what I would say overzealous upper end response, but it has improved over recent versions which I admittedly haven't heard.

In any case, your response is silly, pointless, and expressed with glaring lack of tact in expression and so noted for future futile responses.

In room bass response is quite dependent on well, the room! When any speaker has less overall space from its boundaries, the overall energy dissipated moving through the air is reduced. It returns to you from the boundary at a greater level than what would have in a larger room, not to mention the volume of air.

With that, bass preferences will certainly be room dependent as larger more extended speaker could easily overload a smaller room.

In any respect, I do prefer what Focal chose to do with their bass drivers. They do have useful output int he lower mids and I always prefer if we keep them working cleanly in their range.

No... I didn't flag any of your posts, but I just flagged your last one.

As a matter of truth, ALL of the GE speakers suffer from aberrant behavior in the treble region that looks like reflections from the AMT aperture. All of their MTM configured speakers suffer from discernable vertical comb filtering as well. I understand what the bass level adjustment is for. It's an inadequate solution to poor placement.

It's a presumption that there will be a No.1 and No.3 since the No.2 is obviously a middle of the series product. If there weren't going to be other speakers in the series, why call it Kanta No.2 instead of just Kanta? 

@kosst_amojan, we shall see if and when a No.3 comes to be.  For me it will be about the timing as I'm planning to pull the trigger on new speaks shortly after the Munich show unless there is some real news about a bigger Kanta that would give me pause.  So, I hope the No.3 comes before, or concurrent with, a No.1.....
