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?

@J-Wall - Just my two cents but I've owned the Kanta 2's for about a year and absolutely love them.  I'll tell you I did originally pair them with a Sigma 2200i which sounded great but the Sigma had electronic issues within the first month.  As the Sigma is no longer manufactured, I decided to go to a MA5300 (I had physical space constraints so couldn't do the 7200 without fears of overheating) and was really disappointed by the lack of headroom.  Upgraded to the Hegel 590 and have been happy as hell.  I can appreciate this might be a big jump cost but would say I personally noticed a big difference with more power.
@j-wall I actually held out for the slate/gray as well and I think their one of the best looking speakers in this price point. On the EVO400, I would honestly call up Upscale Audio and get their two cents. This is where I bought my Kantas and based on the email I got from them this past weekend around their push of the PrimaLuna product line, I think they could really speak to your concerns to make sure you aren’t going to have an underpowered configuration. Good luck!
