For sale is my pair of Focal Kanta 3’s. I bought these second hand from Precision Audio and Video in Chicago (Focal dealer). Original owner traded them on a higher end set of Focals.
These were my dream speakers and they have not let me down, but keeping them with the way my hearing is makes no sense. I have the original boxes, grills etc and they are in fantastic shape. Not completely perfect but no flaws that I can point out. I’d rate 9/10.
These are local pick up. I am in Norfolk VA and will drive a few hours to meet if necessary. Asking 6500 net to me for the pair. Below market price by quite a bit, hope someone can get a lot of enjoyment out of them.

I have spent some time with this model and I know exactly what you're saying about your dream speakers. They are absolutely remarkable.
I'm sorry to hear you're selling them and I assume you have some loss of hearing that is effecting you from enjoying them. Again sorry about that , that sucks man.
Good luck with the sale .Dan
My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time. -
Yes I experienced complete hearing loss in my left ear over Christmas break. Sudden, over the course of 2 or 3 days with no real explanation. It’s just a thing that happens. Time to move on from the equipment side of the hobby and focus on just enjoying the music out of my one good ear2 Channel in my home attic/bar/man cave

The market is dead and has been for years. You should expect 6 months plus to move at fair prices- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Relatively small audience here. USAudiomart will get it to a wider group and they have free listings. Just be clear they are for local pickup only and don't offer a "Buy it now" option. -

I would just pick a fair price for you and list it and wait. What will happen if you keep lowering prices is that you will find your local scalpers versus an enthusiast.
Shipping will dramatically open your options- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.
