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.

Why is it that we can’t just make our choices, enjoy what we have and be happy for each other? We are a truly troubled species.

If the game is lost then we're all the same
No one left to place or take the blame.

Yeah.... I can't stand the "let's all get along" philosophy. Some people have good ideas. Some people have bad ideas. We sort them out through contending. Perhaps the psychologically frail should abstain from having opinions. There's nothing wrong with conflict or debate.

Sat down and listened to the Kanta 2 today. I was not able to compare them to any other manufacturers at the shop I was in. I listened to the Sopra 2's after.

As for the K2's they have a good sound stage and response on the highs but I found them lacking in the low end. I think it could be corrected with adding a sub to the line up but for me I want a full range set I don't need to add a sub too. I do think that this is part due to the 6.5" woofers.

As for the S2's they have an even better sound stage throughout the entire full range. I would have no problem running these without a separate sub. Considering the price difference in the K2's and S2's I think a set of used S2's would be a better option then the K2's.

Like I stated in the beginning though. I was not able to listen to any other brands at this shop.

Smallest floorstander in the lineup.  There will be Kanta no3 with substantially more bass.  

However, any good full range system would have properly integrated subs anyway....
