Focal Kanta 2

For the $2k difference I would look at the kanta 3’s unless the room is smaller. I put the kanta 3 up against my usher be-20dmd’s and with the $6k advantage the ushers ate them alive in their bass output but the mids and treble were a different story and the focals were at least as good and their presentation will come down to taste. My room is hard to get much output below 100 hz but in the demo room they rocked.

thanks for your help

This isn't comparable so take for what its worth.  Have had klipsch my whole life and switched to the Kanta 2 for my L/R/C.  Could't be happier, the sound stage is phenomenal.  FYI, Focal takes 53%, the distributor 47%, so lots of wiggle room!  

I believe the margins depend somewhat on the models. My dealer is pretty fair with me and while he was offering silly good deals on the 102-38's he didn't have as much room with the Kanta's. I, personally wont pay more than 30% off list for any new hifi product so more often than not I buy used. 

“FYI, Focal takes 53%, the distributor 47%, so lots of wiggle room!“

Absolute travesty of misinformation.  Focal has some of the lowest dealer margin of all speaker brands.  There is the least amount of wiggle room in them.  Stop spreading bad information.
