    @Toolfan66 not sure if you ever got to hear the Kanta N2's but man, I heard them yesterday....Oh My Gosh....also heard the Aria 948. The 948 was good but had boomy bass. The N2's were tight and very clean. Currently working on a deal....they will be mine..OH YES, they will be mine!!!

    Big fan of my Kanta 3’s. Would venture a guess that they are very different speakers tonally so listening to each in a good environment is key. I’d love to get my hands on Volterras someday in the future as they were a speaker I was considering when I bought the Kantas. I am not using a sub with my Kantas as they definitely do not need one in my room ( undersized for the speakers so the speakers have no issue with impact).
