Audio Magazine Review Summary by Mr. Theodore Pigeon 6/12/2003.
(Insert 3 paragraphs of glowing audiophile riddled terms here)
Where I heard the most difference was in MC Hammer's U Cant Touch This title track. The image of Hammer was so precise, that it went beyond the realm of audio. I actually began to see a two dimensional outline of Hammer with his sequined shirt and funky pants dancing in front of me. As the amplifiers warmed up, the visual image snapped into place and took on a third dimension. The image was nearly, but not quite as sharp as the holodeck on Star Trek, TNG. I was so emotionally moved by this musical revelation, I then began dancing along side the holographic Hammer. I busted moves I never knew I had -- I swear to you I could have been one of Hammer's back-up dancers. It was the single most rewarding day of my life. I now realize why I was born and I would like to thank the Kharma guys for the "long term loan".
But, you might ask, how do they compare to other speakers? They were clearly superior to my Vandersteen 2CE Signatures in just about every aspect. But keep in mind that you can get the 2CE's for $998,300 less, so what would you expect?
In short, these beauties are pricey for sure. But they can bring Nirvana to those elite few who can afford them.
Highly recommended.
