Offered is „Kanta n°3“ by Focal as exhibit from the category „Standing Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5852752910 ends on 30.11.2026 at 11:59 o'clock.
In good condition, the €7,200 asking price is ambitious: it sits well above the €6,248 75th-percentile comparable and roughly €3,073 above the €4,127 median. Unless this is an unusually desirable finish with exceptional provenance or near-new presentation, there should be room to negotiate; around the median-to-upper-quartile range would look more convincing.
The Kanta 2 remains a very capable, well-regarded floorstander, combining lively, high-resolution Focal presentation with fast, articulate bass, excellent imaging, and an unusually refined beryllium tweeter. Its flax-cone drivers and relatively high sensitivity make it versatile, though the low impedance still rewards a competent amplifier. Check cabinet and tweeter condition carefully, confirm the original plinths, spikes, grilles, and packaging, and verify both speakers are cosmetically matched before paying a premium.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Focal traces its roots to 1979 in Saint-Étienne, France, where engineer and hi-fi enthusiast Jacques Mahul founded the company in a small workshop within his father's precision engineering firm. Initially operating as JMlab, it began crafting bespoke speaker drivers, with early models like the DB13 earning acclaim for their compact yet dynamic bass performance. This heritage of acoustic innovation and French craftsmanship propelled Focal's evolution, marked by pivotal 1990s expansions under Gérard Chrétien's leadership, yielding iconic references such as the Vega and Grande Utopia loudspeakers that redefined audiophile standards.
The brand's core focus remains high-fidelity loudspeakers, where it excels through in-house driver design featuring breakthroughs like inverted-dome tweeters, Polyglass cones, flax diaphragms, and beryllium tweeters in its Utopia line. Focal has diversified into professional studio monitors, premium headphones, car audio systems, and select accessories, all emphasizing noble materials and meticulous engineering. While not delving into amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or cables, its speaker-centric portfolio spans home, mobile, and pro applications with unwavering commitment to purity of sound.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Focal commands respect as a world leader among discerning hi-fi buyers for its benchmark performance, international awards, and "Made in France" prestige. No longer a niche boutique, it blends heritage appeal with cutting-edge technology, attracting serious audiophiles who prioritize transparency, dynamics, and emotional depth over mass-market compromises.
