Founder’s Recommendation – Focal Kanta No.2
When I think of loudspeakers that truly impress—not just on a technical level, but in terms of musicality and emotional connection—the Focal Kanta No.2 stands out as one of the most compelling choices in its class.
What Focal has achieved here is a beautiful fusion of advanced acoustic engineering and design sophistication. The Kanta No.2 combines a pure Beryllium tweeter with Flax sandwich cone drivers, producing a sound that is both lively and refined. High frequencies are crystal clear and detailed, with a sense of air and sparkle typically reserved for speakers in a much higher price bracket. At the same time, the midrange is organic, warm, and natural—bringing vocals and acoustic instruments to life with stunning realism.
What personally strikes me about the Kanta 2 is its balance. It’s incredibly revealing without ever becoming fatiguing or clinical. The bass is tight, punchy, and well-extended, easily filling a medium to large room with clean, controlled low-end energy—never bloated, never overwhelming.
And then there’s the design. The Kanta No.2 isn’t just an audiophile powerhouse—it’s a visual statement. With a variety of bold colors and finishes, it blends seamlessly into both contemporary and classic interiors. As the founder of HIFILORD, I’m always searching for products that don’t just sound good, but offer long-term musical enjoyment. The Focal Kanta No.2 is exactly that kind of loudspeaker. If you’re looking for a high-end experience without stepping into the upper-tier pricing of the Sopra line, this is, quite honestly, a no-brainer.
FLAX AND BERYLLIUM COMBINATION
The line's original combination of Flax membrane and Beryllium tweeter. Flax brings clarity and sonic precision; Beryllium contributes to the reproduction of sensational treble. The sound of Kanta N°2 is precise, warm and exceptionally musical.
Modern and disruptive, Kanta turns design codes on their head.
MODERN FINISHES
Matte, White, Ivory or Black fronts are combined with Black High Gloss, White High Gloss or Walnut High Gloss bodies, offering a wide choice of contemporary combinations.
The sophisticated Matte effect "absorbs" light rather than reflecting it, creating a refined contrast with the varnishes.
