Dynaudio Contour 30 vs. Focal Kanta No. 2 speaker


Has anyone compared these two speakers?
Impressions?
Which one do you think is better?
Thanks.

I’m late to the party but I don’t mind reviving the dead. I’ve had Focal 706’s and now Dynaudio S40’s. Focals are easier to drive than most speakers and Dyn’s are much more difficult. I’ve also heard Kanta’s and Sopra’s and the BE tweeter is something special and I feel like it images a little better than the Esotar... if you want to sit in the perfect sweet spot. The Esotar on the other hand does everything else better and images amazingly. I was watching a Horror movie and there was a scene with fingernails on a chalkboard, it sounded exactly like fingernails on a chalkboard but it hurt my soul, I needed several days to recover and I could still feel it. Focals are light and airy and Dyn’s can be as well if perfectly positioned listening to a great recording but the Dyn’s will also hit you in face with a 2x4 if you’re not paying attention. Luckily I’m not biased!

edit add: I really want someone to mod a pair of Focal Aria 948’s with a BE tweeter. From what I’ve read the 948’s will peel the paint off your walls then start on the neighbors house. A completely different speaker than the 936 but also needs a large room. That said if I’m spending the money I’m going for the Contour 60’s.

what did you end up with?
I listened to focal kanta 2 at a dealer..they sound great..the bass is definitely chest thumping...not sure why people say it is bright..
ps: I have sonus faber Cremona auditor..which I consider musical ,”rolled off at high”..also rock is not my music..pop and Bollywood 
Sorry to revive this thread..I also listened to a Dynaudio Contour 30 paired with an Octave Integrated Tube amp(not sure which model)..Sounded really good..in a large room with High ceilings....Surprised that many posts mention that Dynaudios need SS amp with high current and power..Bass was real tight (bulls and the tiger track on tidal)
Focal Kanta sound amazing, however I just got a pair and the build quality is atrocious for this level of speaker.
Went with a pair of black lacquer fronts and backs, terrible finish.
Spent $10k USD for the pair and the lacquer finish is very uneven
Also glue has been left in the front port tube and it doesn’t line up with the opening. For a company that prides itself on its finishing - I was very disappointed.
That’s terrible. I just ordered a pair. They are on long back order due to COVID.  Were you able to get any rectification of the finish issues?
