Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA


Perhaps, its like that old joke that Woody talks about in the beginning of Annie Hall:

"And it goes like this-I'm paraphrasing: Uh ...
"I would never wanna belong to any club
that would have someone like me for a
member." "

But, why does it seem that some of the original Kharma/Tenor/emm labs club members are switching over to DarTZeel amps and Von Schweikert speakers. On the other hand, it doesn't seem like there are many Tenor hybrids or Kharma speakers going up for sale ... yet

I still have Tenor. I heard the VR-11 in San Marcos and thought the VR-9 would be a nice fit for me. There is still nothing better in digital so Emmlabs is still tops.
They are switching because of a new amp. Some people have to buy what is new and shiny. Not to mention that maybe they get a discount to go on certain websites and proclaim product X is the greatest since sliced bread!!

I can't imagine anyone going from a speaker of the quality of Kharma and then down-grading to a speaker as poor as the Von Schweikert!
Based on my auditioning, I agree with Nrchy.

By the way Thom_y, the original version of this pithy little saying was delivered by Groucho; Woodie knew which side his bread was buttered on, but he didn't bake that one.
