Has Anyone Heard the Kharma Loudspeakers

I have owned the Ceramique 2's and listened extensively to the 1's and have heard the Reference 1B's and they are very good speakers. They have superb coherence and a wonderful midrange. With the right associated equipment they can be great IMO.

they are for music lovers, not hifi guys. best speakers you can buy for classical and jazz, imo. sound best with tubes or very very good solid state (e.g., goldmund or rowland). not cheap, but along with wilsons (a much different sound) they're the best i've heard. good luck.....

Save some money and check out Beauhorn speakers instead (www.soundsofsilence.com). I have heard a friend's $60K Karmas that he has replaced with the Beauhorns for higher performance at much less cost.

Ceramic drivers may seem a bit less rowdy than horns. But boy-oh-boy the purity of tone is in a class by itself. If I only listened to classical music, the Ceramiques would be the ones.....
