hello my friends....ive been reading at least two years your forum but i just signed up.....its never too late they say......:)
i would like to get some feedback about the kharma sub....i know this has been discussed before but i would like to ask some questions and hear opinions form people who actually own it....im using the 3.2 and a gryphon diablo integrated...resolutiion opus21 cd and valhalla cables......
1. people say the integration is semaless.....but this happens when they put the sub under 80hz....what about using it intil 150 or 200 hz...????
2. will i gain sth in spl or "perceived" spl....?????
3. will the woofer in kharma speaker work less with the sub in..??or it will move thesame but the sub will laso move...???if it works less maybe the mids will become sweeter as well...???
4. Do you think it worths it...???.does it fill the bottom octave..??..will i be trully full range....and bottom line.... WILL THE MUSIC BE MORE SATISFYING...???
Mixalis: As a former Kharma dealer, I speak from experience. The 3.2 is an excellent speaker that is very open with excellent detail and micro dynamics. It also goes fairly deep for a two way speaker. Most people add the subwoofer thinking that macrodynamics or impact will improve... it does not. All that happens is the bass goes a bit deeper and the midrange gets muddied up. What is lost is the beauty and seemlessness the speaker is known for.
I have heard the sub many times and it never is as enjoyable as the 3.2's on their own. If you want the woofers, go up to the Midi-Grand Ceramique. It is much better than the 32. plus the sub.
I have had three customers try the sub and all got rid of it.
If you are looking for big kick and slam, Kharma is not the answer.
thanx jtinn,,,,, actually you are telling me what i want to hear..... thats what i am actually after...a little bit more slam and kick..the power maybe of a LIVE rock concert...not really macro... anybody else who thinks that this maybe could be achieved with the sub.....??
