I would VERY much like to read a comparison as well, although I already purchased the Kanta 3's about 3 1/2 months ago, soon after they came into the U.S. market. I have been waiting patiently for a real, in- depth review of this speaker, or a comparison of these and the Sopra 2's as they are similarly priced. I did get a good price, however so I know the Sopra 2's would have been about $2G's more. Focal is a much respected name in mid- higher end speakers, so I am scratching my head as to why they have not been reviewed in depth anywhere I can find. Anyway, I know I really enjoy them, they now have enough time on them that I can state they are definitely on the warm side- for Focal- while staying extremely well detailed in the midrange, wonderful airy high end, and excellent, tight bass that can dig very low. I'm definitely loving them, so the heck with the reviews! :-)

Sopra 3s sound more mature across the frequency range.

I auditioned both as those were the two speakers on the short list and was prepared to buy either, and ended up selecting the Kanta 3s. The main reason was that, while both fantastic speakers, the Kantas were more agile and adaptable to many genres of music while the Sopras were best on fewer to my ears. The Kantas lose on bass weight to the Sopras but in my view won out in most other regards and felt like a more balanced speaker overall.
I listen to everything from jazz, blues, and vocal/acoustical music all the way to trance and house (and nearly everything in between). The Kanta is able to handle everything very well perhaps at the cost of not being truly spectacular in any one area. Which is a tradeoff I was happy to make. |
