Those are each. TMR audio has them as a pair.

@alucard19 please by my guest. I discussed with my better half and she has chosen to ignore me when discussing the warm taupe color and our wall color to see if it will work together. I may be missing the deal of the century for my side of the bed...

@theo I definitely will. The Kanta 2's are in a major league ahead of my Kef's so I'm also interested in how they will compare. If I pull the trigger I will definitely give some thoughts on them. I just purchased my PL Evo 400 integrated a few wee...

@theo holy dang! On the website now. This is the combo I was looking at. Thanks for much! Really considering pulling the trigger now.....

@mikemeeks this is what I was hoping for. I'm honestly looking for something very neutral. I listen to some music genres that tend to have poorer recordings so that fact that I'd still be able to enjoy is awesome. @yyzsantabarbara thanks! Definite...

Hey @ozzy. I'd have to take out a mortgage to afford those sopra 2's!  Do you know the pre/amp that was running the Kanta 2's? I can image what you mean about cranking music, but even so, I'd imagine it would be a massive improvement coming from a...

@mofojo that's what I noticed. Ohms run from 8 nominal, but drop to 3.1. Why would a speaker manufacturer have a design with such big ohm movements? Also, would these be run on a 4 ohm tap instead of the 8 ohm since they speakers get down to 3.1?

@yyzsantabarbara now those are the prices I'm talking about! I was quoted 15% off retail, but I'd take them now for $6k.

Also, overly bright with tubes? Is that because of speaker design or more so being underpowered that causes the beryllium to sound bright?

@mofojo  I spoke to a dealer who thought the EL34's could power them with no problem. Do you think the amp is lacking enough power completely or should I be looking to roll tubes up to kt88/120s 
Who buy PS AUDIO ?
As a side note, I'm surprised there is such a lack of satisfaction with PS Audio gear. I haven't heard any of it, but I expected more praise.  
Who buy PS AUDIO ?
Paul is so great. My only complaint is that he can get sidetracked and moves through so many topics on irrelevant subjects things tend to get convoluted by the end. After my next move to tubes PS Audio will be my next direction if I head back to s...

@jetter I think I watched every video they have up on their YouTube. They sure are trying to take on PrimaLuna. It was pretty bold. Not that they shouldn't, but they're taking the gloves off for sure. Not a huge fan of their aesthetics to be hones...

@ebanksms thanks for the advice. I feel like coloration from speakers to be more varied than an amplifier. Is that ill informed? My goal is the hear the expansion in phases and start to finish from table to speakers. It might not be the best appro...

@alucard19 this gentleman is near by to me so once the COVID-19 stuff is over I may reach out to him to befriend and check this Monoblocks out (out of my price range but for curiosity sake).
