Focal Kanta No 2

Would anyone be in support of upgrading from Kef Q-750's to the beautiful Focal Kanta No2's? I can't keep my eyes off of them and looking for forever (for now) speakers. Currently running Evo400 Integrated, which to my understanding should power them off of the EL34's without a problem. I'm not too sure if there is a dealer in my near vicinity to hear in person. The Kanta No 2's are actually above my price range so I'm not looking to go any higher. Thoughts/concerns?

Should absolutely be a big upgrade and they are sexy speakers for sure. I would be worried about powering them with that integrated. Focals like power they may sound overly bright with tubes and the slam they are capable of.

I didn’t realize how efficient the Kanta’s are compared to previous focals.

I think the Kantas are gorgeous!  I’d say wait until you can find a preowned pair. It might take a month or two, or three, but I’d bet you can save a couple grand...

Why would tubes make a Beryllium driver sound brighter. I thought tubes would be beneficial in taming a brighter speaker?

BTW - I have seen some recent ads for a new Kanta 2 for $6K from dealers.
