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.

Yes magico does require more power generally. I would disagree about low level listening. I have a pair of s1mk2 and they sound pretty damn good at around 65db. They do sound even better at 75db though. Plus they are a much better build quality as well.

I think which one chooses depends on personal preference. Everyone will have a different opinion. Only you will know what’s best for you.
