Focal Kanta 2 Have Arrived!

[@kman9387]

You so remind me of a kid at Christmas morning 😁👍 At times almost speechless! And so excited you pretty much give away that you already opened them because of how excited you were 👏👏👏👏 I totally understand how you feel at that moment 😎 It's quite exciting to get those and as much as they cost its an achievement 👌👌 One day I hope to get there, but in the meantime I am enjoying being in the Focal family 😍

[@mikez-ht7706]

That's exactly how I felt! I was so overwhelmed that I wasn't even thinking about the unboxing part of this video😁👍

[@mudibluz2006]

Where did you get your pair of kanta? I can’t seem to find a place offering the piano black two tone color (would like the yellow and black or baby blue and black)

[@mikez-ht7706]

I believe those colors as of now are very hard to find,cause they are discontinued..even the finish I purchased at my local dealer had the last pair and that finished is also discontinued, they replaced it with all white Carrera finish. I purchased mines at a place called overture audio.

Actually if you can, try atleast once listening to the Kantas where you have them away from the wall in the middle on your area rug. Your soundstage will be deeper and they may disappear, meaning you won't be able to localize them.

Very nice setup! ⭐

[@mikez-ht7706]

Thanks👍

[@gabeah]

any thoughts on why Kanta 2 vs Kanta 3? was it room size, or other factors for you? I'm looking at 3s. room is 22' x 24' with 18' ceilings, but the sub setup and budget will be factors.. you happy w them after some time has passed?

[@mikez-ht7706]

My livingroom is 16Wx22L,ceilings is 9ft. I could of gotten the Kanta 3,but I like the SQ over the 3,for me the 3 sounded a bit boomy, So I went with the Kanta 2 with the IsoAcoustics GAIA II, When listening to music I never use my subs, the Kanta 2 goes down to 35hz,which is amazing! They are the last pair of speakers I will ever need..well worth the money. They are amazing sounding speakers!! Plus I got a really good deal from from my local dealer.

Beautiful man...can’t wait to buy my first Focal.

[@mikez-ht7706]

Thanks! What do you plan on getting?

[@hmurchison8123]

@@mikez-ht7706 initially I’m going to replace my 8 cheap in-ceiling with 100 and 300 series 6.5 and then see what floor stander I want.

[@mikez-ht7706]

@@hmurchison8123 The Focal Chora 826 is a good start, I use them now for surrounds..826 where my 1st Focal and they are great for their price!

[@hmurchison8123]

@@mikez-ht7706 yeah the 826 is ideal for my living space. Your Kanta are so nice. I might be sold on the white baffle black cabinet look.

[@TechnoDad]

how does it sound with the Chora center? Is there a noticeable difference? would you get the Kanta Center?

[@mikez-ht7706]

Hey Man! I wasn't expecting you to be on my channel, btw I follow you on your channel! To answer your question I had the Chora 826 at 1st now I use them for surrounds and was going to give it a go with the Chora Center & believe it or not I was impressed how well the Chora blended with the Kanta 2, no miss match vocals from L/C/R..Keeping the Chora Center for now. Thanks for tuning in Techno Dad.

@@mikez-ht7706 Right on man! I just received a pair of Aria 926 to review and I was going to ditch my Martin Logan XSTATS and make the move to a Focal 5.0 in the Aria line. Then I was like, wait a tick...I want Beryllium. I could have them send me a Kanta N1 and Kanta Center but the center won't fit into my TV stand as it's an inch too tall. So I was wondering if the aluminum/magnesium tweeter in either the Chora Center or Aria Center would work with the Kanta's. Honestly, I would love to get the Kanta N2s in to review but I think I'll start off with the N1s.

[@mikez-ht7706]

@@TechnoDad Would love to here your impression of a Kanta 2 review on your channel! Trust me you wouldn't be disappointed, they are a very incredible sounding speaker, the last pair that you should ever need!! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on your pick up. I also have music demos on my channel of the Kanta 2 as well.

[@AudiolandCH]

@@TechnoDad I have the Kanta No 1s. They are awesome. Will use them in the future as rear speakers though and Kanta 2s or 3s as front.

[@TechnoDad]

@@AudiolandCH Nice! It looks like they are going to skip the N1 and send me the Kanta N2 and Kanta Center. I'm totally good with that, lol!

[@linandy1]

They use straw for the woofers, regular farm grade straw.

[@kman9387]

Not straw but a fiber made from flax. Has millions of hair like strands. More important is how good they sound 👌👍

[@SheepNizzle]

Looks great! BTW, Chora is pronounced "Cora".

[@markusschulzbro]

How does it feel switching from Chora 826 to Kanta 2? 🤣

[@mikez-ht7706]

It's like owning a Mazda then getting a Porsche Carrera!. No comparison, huge difference in SQ,night & day! Kanta 2 is a whole different league & the last pair of speakers I will ever need.

[@musiconvinylisbetter.1449]

Very close to the front wall.

[@mikez-ht7706]

Not any more, my other videos have them out further now. 👍 Plus I also added IsoAcoustics GAIA II.

[@jameschant2740]

Hope to hear some rock music, not the flakey stuff often heard in demos.
