Looking at Focal

I'm looking to replace my B&W 803s for the Focal Kanta 3. It's hard for me to travel so can't go listen. What differences could I expect I have an upgraded Carver TFM 45 & a 1070 Rotel pre.

I'm looking for a brighter speaker so lots of options in my price range. darkstar, I've googled the heck out on Kanta & missed that one I guess.

Right out of the box they are head & shoulders above my B&W 803Ss. Real clear vocals more & tighter bass. Now to work upstream. I ordered a PS Audio BHK preamp. I’ll see what that does.
