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?

This was the color my wife liked best for our living room and got the okay so I picked up a pair. Got lucky that this actually goes best with the colors in the room. I auditioned them about 3 months ago at a local shop. Was impressed but then Covid hit and put it on the back burner. But at this price and being told to “just buy them” after looking at the website for the last couple of weeks I said what the hell.

Mine are scheduled to deliver tomorrow.
Will see how accurate the website tracking is. Just an FYI these don’t ship out of TMR but rather a Focal warehouse.

Kanta’s arrived today since I couldn’t make the delivery schedule window yesterday work.
Extremely glad with the purchase and having zero regrets. The warm taupe color looks better with our colors in the living room so that was an even bigger win with the wife. Plus the smaller stature made her happy.These have replaced a pair of Maggie 1.7i’s  in my main system. There tighter, cleaner, faster. With deeper, quicker bass. I also don’t feel the sound stage has been reduced at all.I’m using an ARC Ref5SE for my pre.
For the amp I have a MAC6700.
My transport is a McIntosh MCT450
and Dac/streamer is a Auralic Altair.
