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.

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.

This (speaker) pissing contest is juvenile at best. You guys know better. Both are excellent speakers and this notion that a multi-thousand dollar speaker was designed only for home theatre application since it makes real good bass makes no sense.

1. Stereophile Recommended Components, as we all know, are both as comprehensive and infallible as the Pope.  Right?

2. Never heard the GE Reference.  Can't comment on it.

3. Look at the GE product line, and the Definitive Technology line.  All designers have an agenda, are going somewhere.  Draw your own conclusions.  Tall narrow speakers (to go each side of the big screen), cloth covered (keep costs down), race-track woofers (keep them cabinets slim).  How many high-end companies use race-track woofers?
