Focal Kanta No.3 | Floorstanding loudspeaker | ₹12,00,000
The Kanta range, which isn’t new anymore, uses a lot of the trickle-down engineering from Focal’s flagship Utopia and Sopra ranges, but even adds some improvements that have come with the passage of time. But even before you get into the tech of the Kanta range, there’s the design and from virtually every angle, it’s as French as they could’ve made it. Especially in our test pair’s shade of Gauloises Blue for the front baffle and walnut for the cabinet, it’s as unique as a Kanta bai showing up in a French-maid outfit for her daily duties. Other design highlights include a glass top, magnetic grilles that preserve the form of the front baffle, without masking the Beryllium tweeter and the ingenious Zamac base that makes even a hefty package like the Kanta No.3 look like they’re floating in air. There’s no denying that the Kanta No.3 is a special looking loudspeaker and they look purposeful, determined and dynamically oversized even before you start playing the music!
