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?

I talked to Frank Van Alstine a bit back , he said . " In the 50 years I have been selling amps nobody has ever complained they had too much power".

If $5,600 is the new retail and yes I saw the same ad,
then my target purchase price would be $3,000. Too low you
say, not in 6-12 months "


The Kantas retail is still $10,000. The ones you are seeing on line for less are for discontinued colors. Once those are gone they are gone.

J-wall, you're finding out that one significant upgrade tends to lead to yet another upgrade. It's an expensive hobby, but well worth it.

The Kanta 2's have only been out for two years; so, it seems a little early for a redo. However, discounting the slowest selling color combos does make a lot of sense.  Best of luck!

This was the color my wife liked best for our living room and got the okay so I picked up a pair. Got lucky that this actually goes best with the colors in the room. I auditioned them about 3 months ago at a local shop. Was impressed but then Covid hit and put it on the back burner. But at this price and being told to “just buy them” after looking at the website for the last couple of weeks I said what the hell.
