Focal Kanta No.2

Yes, the 1038’s were detailed but too tight for my taste and not as warm.  I really like the midrange and tactile bass on the Kanta flax drivers.  I’ve had watt puppies and Kef C5’s which were great but the Kanta delivers a nice balance of detail, space, bass texture and power with expressive mid’s...no glare or etch!

Hi all, any thoughts on how the Focal Kantas would compare to a combination of high quality stand mounts like the Joseph Audio Pulsars and decent subwoofers like the JL Audio E110?  

I Expect the 1028be could out perform just about anything out there with a select number of favorite tunes and I nearly fell under their spell until I played some old average recordings and the salesman couldn't turn the system off fast enough! At $10k there's a lot of new and used speakers to choose and the listening room is going to decide what speakers sound like more than anything else. I passed on the Kanta 2 and persona 3f without even consideration because their internal volume appeared to small to play cleanly in my 18'x26'x7' listening room! Axpona had speakers of all sizes crammed into small hotel rooms and to my ears the best sound came from the smallest speakers, but those were small rooms. At $10k new there's also the contour 60 and F228be, not to mention the new Magico! If I can't get a home demo I buy used to limit the bleeding if my dream speaker becomes a nightmare in my room. I don't care for the pastel finish on the Kanta speakers and the OP sounds like a 'my way or the highway' personality.
