I auditioned the Kharmas at my friend's palace in Saudi Arabia. He had a dedicated listening theatre. They were absolutely stunning. One of his slaves initially had them set up wrong, so we had him executed. I couldn't get a
center listening seat, because all of them were taken up by his 133 wives, but it seemed that the imaging, depth of field, dynamics, realistic image size was without peer.
It also seemed like the sound was slightly more rich
and harmonic with my head tilted back while being fed grapes by one of his slaves. Later, I heard his home theatre system, which has five Kharmas - each wall was a speaker, plus the ceiling. When we played The Terminator on his DVD, I could feel the cold steel of Arnold's robotic grip around my throat!!
We were completely affixed to the realism of the acoustic environment, coupled with the sharpness and detail of the IMAX sized screen, until a slave interrupted us. So we had him executed. Now it was time to try SACD through
the two channel system. OH MY GOD!!! The detail, the realism, the astonishing sense of "you are there"!!! I was walking between performers and shaking hands. I even helped Kenny G play his Sax. This is a true to life, visceral,
3D experience. After we had completed our audition, my friend decided to purchase the whole system. When the Kharma team who came with the speakers to assist in set-up -handed him the bill. He couldn't believe what they wanted. So he had them executed. Kept the speakers, though.
