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?

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.

Focal keeps on redoing its speaker lines.

The new Chora line takes several design cues from the Kanta.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Kanta line went through a refresh or a complete redo very soon.
