Kharma Mini or Avalon Eidolon diamond

Interesting, but the best match I have found for my Eidolons so far was a 2x300B based 16W SET amp. And I have tried many (10+) "conventional" amps in the 20k range.

Toboo: interesting comment about the Opus vs. the 3.2. I found the Kharmas a bit bass shy and I have to follow Chucks comment: the Avalons present a much more holographic soundstage than the Kharmas. Detail retrieval is on par but the base line of the Opus is better as well as the ability to pin point.
Which cables and front end did you use during your comparison ?

I only have heard the Symbol, but now way the sound is behind the speakers.
With some cd, its like you`re listening surround.

Forget the Symbol´s - they´re crap. Avalon in my Opinion starts with Opus Ceramique.

Opus and Opus Ceramique are just replace with new Indra.
And new Ascendant2 is excellent little speaker IMHO...
