Focal Kanta No1 Loudspeakers (each)
“... you know I’m a big Focal fan, and the new Kanta exceeds all expectation. They combine sound and build quality with fantastic dealer service and support, world wide. If you’ve enjoyed the sound of the bigger Focal speakers, but desire these sonic attributes in a slightly smaller package, the Kanta is for you.”
— JEFF DORGAY, TONE AUDIO (Writing about the No.2)
“The Kanta No1 is not a shrinking violet of a product. From the styling to the sheer intensity of the performance, this is a speaker that wants to be the focus of your attention. It does everything that Focal excels at but mixes this with a sense of urgency and fun The result is a truly outstanding speaker that has to be considered a Best Buy.”
— ED SELLEY, AV FORUMS, NOV 2019
2-Way Bookshelf Loudspeaker
This bookshelf loudspeaker from the Kanta N°1 line will discreetly blend into any unit or stand: it is the perfect solution for rooms under 270 ft2 (25 m²). Entirely dedicated to acoustic performance and with a resolutely personal aesthetic: that, in a nutshell, is the Kanta DNA. After three years of research, Focal offers a new combination of exclusive technologies: the marriage of beryllium, in the next generation IAL3 tweeter, and flax, for the midrange and bass speaker drivers. The result? A precise, detailed sound, brimming with warmth and musicality. It is the start of a new era for those who love sound. When positioned in an enclosed space, or near to a wall, a piece of foam can be slid into the vent to optimise the bass even further.
With eight front panel finishes, gloss or matte, there are several possible combinations. So many styles, each one so different from the next, means there’s something for everyone.
