Focal Kanta No 2

“The deal of a lifetime only comes along once
a week”...lol, so true and so hard for an excited buyer to understand.

I do think things go through waves though.  10 years ago there were so many more good deals on audio equipment than right now.

The Kantas are new so deals should be around for awhile.  $3,000 is probably a pipe dream though...

Buy the TMR ones, even if it is not the perfect color for you. Use the savings and party somewhere fun with your girlfriend. It is only speakers.

It will be for sure a great update. As a previous owner of couple of Focal speakers, including Mezzo Utopia, I would say you should consider Naim amplification to get the best out of these nice speakers.

IMO  Not enough power. Those speakers will not do justice to the EVO .. Vice a versa

@J-Wall - Just my two cents but I've owned the Kanta 2's for about a year and absolutely love them.  I'll tell you I did originally pair them with a Sigma 2200i which sounded great but the Sigma had electronic issues within the first month.  As the Sigma is no longer manufactured, I decided to go to a MA5300 (I had physical space constraints so couldn't do the 7200 without fears of overheating) and was really disappointed by the lack of headroom.  Upgraded to the Hegel 590 and have been happy as hell.  I can appreciate this might be a big jump cost but would say I personally noticed a big difference with more power.
