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.

I don't believe that's what it sounded like because no Focal I've ever heard sounded like that when properly placed. 
Ozzy.........................
I agree it probably would, but for that price, the bass should be decent.  I felt the mid bass was quite weak, although that is the first pair of Focals  I listened to for more than 10 minutes as the others I have heard over the years were so bright, I wanted to rip my ears off.  They sounded good at RMAF where they first introduced them but they were playing some lightweight jazz.  While I am sure they are good for some Jazz and chamber music, I wouldn't try playing Ozzy Osbourne or Led Zepp on them.  It seems that Kosst_amojan thinks they are the next best speaker and nothing you or I or others say will change his mind.  All I can say is I am glad I don't own them.
Geeze.... This just sounds like every rant I've ever seen from people who heard them in horrible rooms with lousy gear. Sorry guys, but they're way too much like my 936's to sound anything like you describe. And nobody who's heard Focal in the last 5 or 6 years says they're bright.

 ""And nobody who's heard Focal in the last 5 or 6 years says they're bright. "  I am NOT a nobody.  I feel Focals are bright and I heard them 3 months ago, I do not like berelium tweeters period.  It is like picking at my ear drum with an ice pick.  IMHO, Focal speakers SUCK and I wouldn't waste my money or my time even listening to them.  Don't knock someone who doesn't like what you like.

I'm another who also reported finding the bass of the Kanta to be disappointing - overarm and disjointed.  It was in a very good room, with room treatments (including tube traps) on very good gear.   A monitor audio speaker, about the same size in an essentially identical room did not have these problems.

I also demoed various Focal speakers over the last two years,and did indeed find some of them a bit too bright.  They have always had a "look at me" tweeter sound, every time I've ever encountered Focal speakers (which is a lot, in many different set ups).

I actually like the sound of some Focal speakers, especially their large models.
