Has anyone auditioned Focal Kanta 2 vs PS Audio FS 10’s ?

I’m narrowing down my search for a new pair of speakers . I have the PS Audio FR 5, and really like them, so,I’m thinking about moving up and getting the FR 10’s, but the Focal Kanta 2 looks interesting too. Has anyone listened to both of these ? What are your opinions?

i have a dedicated listening room (14’ x 26’) but due to a support column I must sit 12’ from the front wall.

Thanks to all responses.

If there are not a lot of folks that have made the comparison. The differences could not be larger. The Focal emphasize detail, leading edges and speed, the FR10's are laid back and musical. Choose wisely here. It is likely your preferences are in one camp or the other. My personal preference is musicality... so I am not drawn to Focal.

I have experience with both the Kantas and Sopras.  The Sopras have less rough edges and better bass IMO.  If you can find some Sopras on the used market I would take a good look at those.  Sorry I can't weigh in on the FS10s but just wanted to mention the major SQ uptick you get with the Sopras.  Good luck and cheers.

Yes, I would love to get the Supra’s but they’re a bit too large for my room. (Deep and tall).

Thanks to others who replied.
