Focal Kanta 2 or KEF Reference Meta 1 plus KC62 sub?
Hello there!
Currently running Focal Aria 926 with KEF KC62 in a 15’Wx16’Dx13’H feet room (open concept space). Listening distance is about 12 feet. The speakers are powered by NAD M33. Room is treated with DIRAC LIVE as I had boominess present. I could only place speakers 12 inches away from the walls and 24 inches from partial and full wall to the sides.
I’ve done my research and narrowed it down to Focal Kanta 2, no sub OR KEF Reference 1s META with either KEF KC62 or one of the REL subs.
What would you recommend I go with? Price is similar on both, both sound great (heard them both), and going with Kanta 2s would maximize the space in the room. It’s a condo, so trying to go low, but don’t need go down to 20Hz.
I listen to pretty much everything except classical, rap, techno. ;)
Thank you for advice.
