Stand Out from the Norm with a Floor-Standing Loudspeaker That Basks in Boldness: Focal Kanta N°3 Features Eight-Inch Flax Woofers, Plays with Depth in Big Rooms

Using technology from Focal's universally acclaimed Utopia and Sopra Series, and sporting a seductive array of playful color finish options, no one would ever confuse Kanta N°3 for a conventional high-end floor-standing loudspeaker. Building on the success of its smaller sibling, the hyper-efficient Kanta N°3 stands as a more muscular thee-way design whose bass slam and midrange presence instantly grab the attention of anyone within earshot – even in massive rooms. And don't let the speaker's 101-pound frame fool you into thinking the transducer's biggest strength is lower-register impact. Its next-generation Infinite Acoustic Loading (IAL3) beryllium tweeter handles even the subtlest high-frequency detail with grace and delicacy.

Crafted in France at Focal's in-house facility, Kanta N°3 features woofers made with locally grown flax, renowned for its incredible durability and light weight. Arranging the material in a unique glass-fiber sandwich design enables Kanta N°3 to deliver transients with megabit-like speed. The remarkable articulation, neutrality, and control exhibited by the 6.5-inch midrange driver and two 8-inch woofers owe to TMD (Tuned Mass Damping) suspension and NIC (Neutral Inductive Circuit) motors – innovations developed from the company's flagship models. This specialized approach to driver design significantly improves definition and reduces internal resonances. You'll hear startling transparency, explosive dynamics, and life-size soundstaging.

Kanta N°3's luxurious attributes extend to cabinetry made of molded, high-density polymer – significantly better at damping vibrations than the MDF used in most speakers. Rounded baffle edges further reduce soundwave diffractions and improve imaging. Ported from the front and rear, Kanta N°3 offers flexible room placement options while its rock-solid Zamac base features spikes and floor-protecting cups. Tasteful touches like an elegant, glass-covered top and sonically transparent magnetic grilles round out an all-world speaker that won't shy away from filling even large spaces with realistic, vibrant, precise sound.

From its premium internal parts to its benchmark performance, unmistakable style to its warmth and musicality, Kanta N°3 stands out from the norm. 

"[Kanta No3] is always going to be a talking point. But these floorstanders are even more about go than show, providing a glorious fluidity of music-making, detail and focus, and sense of sheer power when required. It all comes together to make this a very special choice."

"The Kanta No.3s deliver fantastic results even when not perfectly optimized, sounding great when merely plopped in the room, yet become spellbinding when a given an hour or two of concentrated effort."
– TONEAudio

"The stereo imaging and soundstaging presented by the Focal Kanta No.3s is worthy of special mention, as it's so focused you can even hear the subtle, minuscule changes in tone as singers move their microphones whilst singing (or move from side to side while singing into fixed microphones)."

"With great sound and looks, the Kanta No 3 isn't just as a temporary diversion until the Next Big Thing. Like a grand piano, it's both functional and beautiful – the type of investment you could cherish for decades to come."
