Kharma v Focal v Avalon

I would not buy the 3.2s w/o hearing them. They are not a set-it-and-forget-it speaker.

I have heard the 3.2 and the Ascendant. If you have SET or low power tubes then you should probably lean to the 3.2 though expect a rear hall, very refined presentation. I was not blown away by what I heard.

The Ascendants get my nod but I think they want SS. Very lively and resolving, while maintain seamless balance and integration, and that famous Avalon holographic sound stage. However be warned they need to sit at least 5" out into the room, and more can often be better. If you are limited in that way do not lean to any Avalon speaker.

Thanks very much, really interesting responses.

Alectiong if not the 3.2 do you have any thoughts on the 2.3ce?

The 3.2 is one of my favorite speakers ever!

I'm sorry I meant to say 5' as in 5 ft!
