1st 24 hrs with kanta 3s


I’ve had my Kanta 3s in my system about 24 hours now. They replaced a set of B&W 803Ss. My first observation is that a lot of my favorite old songs are poorly recorded & hard to listen to. I played some of my wifes favorite songs & her reaction was a frown. I’ve been on the Spot listening to classical, blues,Jazz & good rock. The good news is I get to hear my tunes all over again.These speakers are so revealing it amazes me. The whole room is a sound stage now. I’m looking forward to hooking up a new preamp tomorrow if only to hear what else I’ve been missing. Some one on here said if you’re happy with your system ya might not want to upgrade. Now I know why. No big news, I’m just rattling.

I have a pair of Kanta No 2s, with REL S/5 subs.  My Kantas took a long time to fully break in.  Most of the break in was the first 100 hours.  But they continued to smooth out for the next few months.  I do envy you with the 3s - they weren’t out when I bought my 2s.
I'm liking them so far. Much better than my B&Ws.  I pulled em out a little farther from the wall & set the toe in. 
probably need to give them time, your ears time, and move them around a bit to before judging them.
I haven't really missed the bass so much even though I haven't hooked my Rel up yet. Maybe I'll find out.
kanta's are kinda lightweight in the bass and that can make them sound analytical even though they are pretty smooth as focals go.
