Kharma v Focal v Avalon

Hi all, would love to hear your thoughts on the following similarly priced (at least in Europe) though quite different 2 way speakers.

The Kharma 3.2, Focal Diablo and Avalon Ascendant. My system runs Emm Labs cdp & Muse amp in a 14x19x8ft room. Speakers would be placed toward the front wall listening position along the back wall.

Look forward to hearing comments.

Kharma 2.3s are now in place and rocking away nicely. They're substantial speakers but just disappear. Solid images, cavernous soundstage, tonally pretty good. Not as transparent as I've heard (at much greater cost) but they don't over do the treble in the way many really high rez systems I've heard do. Very pleased, I can see them staying for a while.

Do they make music?

Beautifully, or rather they transport you into the music

Good. Previously you had described a sound, and charactaristics that make-up hifi. While soundstage and tonality are perhaps pre-requesites, they really need to be components to get to the emotional enjoyment. Many stereos make very interesting sounds. Fewer systems go to the next level of musicality.

Very true Rtn. I've heard some very hi-rez systems recently Hansen King etc and while those systems had great strengths I couldn't have lived with any of them myself the way they were set up.
