Focal Kanta No 2
@mofojo that's what I noticed. Ohms run from 8 nominal, but drop to 3.1. Why would a speaker manufacturer have a design with such big ohm movements? Also, would these be run on a 4 ohm tap instead of the 8 ohm since they speakers get down to 3.1?

@yyzsantabarbara now those are the prices I'm talking about! I was quoted 15% off retail, but I'd take them now for $6k.

@jetter I think I watched every video they have up on their YouTube. They sure are trying to take on PrimaLuna. It was pretty bold. Not that they shouldn't, but they're taking the gloves off for sure. Not a huge fan of their aesthetics to be hones...

I understand the sentiment. After speaking with Raven Audio they made the same case. And I totally understand it, but there are many things made in China that we as Americans still choose to purchase. Though China shouldn't be the culprit, the pro...

Ok you guys. Would you mind to spend a moment to describe who and what Raven is? To not be too crass, I haven't heard of this brand, nor know who they are. I was looking into Cary amplification, but decided to go with PrimaLuna as a great into to ...
