Focal Electra BE series

So the Kantas are better than Sopras and Utopias that both use W sandwich cone drivers and same tweeter as 1028be?
And I guess also flax drivers used in lower line speakers as in Kantas are better but not good enough for Utopias using W sandwich drivers hmmmm

This is what I hate about a lot of people on Audiogon and regret asking a simple question about a product. No one ever answers your question or positive response about the product you ask about, gotta start a debate and push a different product. I could care less about the Kantas, I've heard them. 
I asked about 1028be or 1038be and how they perform. Quite simple I thought, but apparently not. A waste of my time. I'll learn to stay away from Focal dealers I guess. 

First post on Audiogon. I was told last year by the distributor at a show introducing the Kanta 2’s that the move to the flax driver was because it was cheaper and easier to make than the W cone.

This idea that the Be tweeter is bright is massively outdated. This was a fair comment years ago but the current Be tweeters are absolutely wonderful (I own a pair of 1008 Be II’s). However, I made the decision to go to floorstanders 6 months ago and the Kanta 2’s were on the list.

I’ve heard the Kanta 2’s twice, once for an extended listening session at a dealer. I was disappointed. Driven by a Devialet integrated (plenty of power), I felt the sound was laid back and not particularly revealing. Imaging was just okay. Bass was just okay. The whole presentation lacked transparency. Listened to Sopra 2’s right after in the same setup. Let’s just say that the higher price for the Sopras was worth it and then some.

I ultimately purchased a used pair of Totem Element Metals which work very nicely in my setup and room. I wanted to love the Kantas because I am a Focal fan and I personally think they look gorgeous in walnut. But I guess I wanted the traditional Focal sound, which tends to be very revealing and detailed. The Kantas didn’t deliver.

Really my post was removed!!! ?Lame
