kharma 3.2 & sub...

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...???

thanx a lot guys,,,

Its not a problem to add a sub to the 3.2, although I would not recommend the Kharma sub unless you like your bass to oooze.

Kharma's a very flexible and easy to use with a sub and I disagree with all the advice you have received so far about your speakers. Its a ported two way speaker, there are any number of subwoofers that would be compatible. The Accuton 6" benefits greatly from the help of a subwoofer.

E-mail me if you're interested in how to do this because I don't wish to debate this issue with others who already have stated alternative experience. I've done it many times, with outstanding results. There are much more difficult speakers to add a sub too than the 3.2's.

You may want to experiment with different amps. What do use? I have the Kharma 2.3Fs and had been driving them w/ Linn Klimaxx solo mono blocks....more recently had auditioned various amps and was very surprised how much the bass improved with certain amps such as Gryphon Encore and dartZeel etc.

I've been listening at Lloyd Walker's place to his Kharma 3.2s for quite some time. Lloyd recently put in the Silent Source Signature speaker cables and the resulting added depth and impact in the bass was surprising and impressive. Much greater impact than before, and the detail, resolution and harmonic integrity continued intact. Based on what I've heard in his system, I'd encourage you to call Lloyd about trying the Silent Source.
