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?

Why would tubes make a Beryllium driver sound brighter. I thought tubes would be beneficial in taming a brighter speaker?

BTW - I have seen some recent ads for a new Kanta 2 for $6K from dealers.

That Levinson 585 is awesome and there is one available at The Music Room for $6K. I heard it with Magico A3's, which I think are also Beryllium.

Let me see if I can find the email or whatever I got recently for the $6K new Kanata 2.

Unfortunately, I could not find the reference to the $6k Kanta 2 sale. This was actually the second time I had seen such a sale in the past 12 months. It looks like they have a 15% off sale now. It also looks like Focal has periodic sales, like Paradigm.

Buy the TMR ones, even if it is not the perfect color for you. Use the savings and party somewhere fun with your girlfriend. It is only speakers.
