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.

Yeah... I'm pretty sure the Sopra No.3 belongs in a better class than my 936's.

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.

So,  Golden Ear speakers are more for home theater.  This statement was made a week or so ago.  It is amazing that in the latest Stereophile Recommended Components, there isn't a Focal speaker that is higher than Class B, yet the Golden Ear Triton Reference is in the Class A category which includes less than a dozen much more expensive speakers that has good bass down to 20hz.  How is it possible that a lowly Home Theater speaker got such recognition?  IMHO, the person(s) that made that statement are talking out their back end.  I will say this for the last time, the GE series of speakers while good for Home Theater, were designed as an Audiophile high end speaker..

The GE Triton 1 are in Class B, borderline Class A.  Again, in the same Class as the Focal.  Just Sayin.

Well damn! The Triton 1 is only as good as a Focal 936? That sounds like an absolute rip-off to me. Not to mention there was strenuous debate about where to place the Sopra. And we all know the Utopia range is class A all day long.
