I actually do like the Proac Response 4s...though after hearing the Kharmas....but wld prefer them over the Wilsons. Its just that my spouse finds them excessively big physically, thus dominating our living room....that was the impetus for looking for something...and I have ended up falling for the "Kharma sound" if u will. Its just so more real plus the soundstage is sooo astonishing.
Thanx for the suggestions on making sure the Linns wld work well...guess I have to unplug the stuff and carry it over to the store! But if there is no MAJOR drawback, then I will go for the Kharmas (though perhaps be again surprised by something else yet again: its been awhile I have auditioned stuff)...and if necessary save up and gradually look at other amps: perhaps a tube such as Tenor or Lamms which seem to be frequently cited soul mates of the Kharmas. I luv the Kharmas that much.
As all of u may have noticed, though I am music lover, read mags, and appreciate good sound etc....but I am not exactly you're learned audiophile per se.
As I get older (now 43 yrs), I think I am wanting things sweeter, a relaxed fit, etc...whether it be wine or my music system...but still want to boogie when called for!
On the Wilson's bass, Gregm, in hindsight you r right. My listening notes say good bass definition but somehow narrowly defined and lack of naturalness.
