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.

No.... I'm tired of hearing this abject nonsense. By any definition, a speaker with the response of the K2 is a full range speaker.

My B&W802D2’s were considered full range...the Kanta 2’s have as much low end as they did plus more fullness in the mids!

Generally any speaker that digs down below 40Hz is considered full range and will suit the demands of the vast majority of music. I don't understand some people's need for overblown bass down to 20Hz. I was listening to Mickey Hart's Planet Drums last night. The 936's do 32Hz just fine. I'm sure the Kanta No.2 does too.

It looks like censoring is being done on this thread. I posted earlier about my listening experience with the Focal Kanta 2 but now it has disappeared.

So, I’ll try it again.

Short version:
The Kantra 2’s bass seriously bloated and sounded terrible with rock music played at a moderate to high sound level. Definitely not a full range speaker.
