Focal Kanta No.2

Could be wrong but I doubt the Kanta can play down to 40hz cleanly at high spls. 40hz at 95db. What you think? 

In a room appropriate to their intended listening distance? I have no doubt at all they could. My 936's don't struggle at all in that regard and the 926's were respectable in a much smaller cabinet and a much larger room than I'm in with my 936's. Those aren't speakers intended for a 30'x 40' room to be heard from 18' away at 95 dB. That's what the 948, 1038, Sopra No.3, and presumably the Kanta No.3 when it arrives, are for. 

kosst,

But the real reality is they distorted badly with a moderate level "rock" track.

I doubt it. More likely they had a gutless amp behind them in a very large room. 

I bought a pair which I have mated to a Krell Vanguard with Transparent Ultra cabling and the bass is deep, full and fast. Zero distortion and goes below 32HZ then drops off...only pipe organ or synthetic tones below 30HZ would require a subwoofer.
