Opinions about Kharma Speakers

Is anyone familiar with the sound characteristics of this speaker line? I am particularly interested in the Ceramiques.

My previous speakers were W/P 5.1 and 6.0s. With the favorable press of the W/P 7.0s, it was tempting to go with the safe bet. I knew if the Kharmas had at least a small portion of the sound signature of the Exquisites, they would be special. I worry a little bit about the bass response. I expect coherence and tonal accuracy from the Kharmas.

I have the Ceramique 1.0's and I drive them with a pair of 30 watt Thor amps. These are some of the best speakers that I have ever heard. They are very easy to drive. The bass response is very solid. Most people who listen to my system think I have a subwoofer in the room. I have heard low notes that I have not heard before on many systems. However my room has a suspended wood floor. I have heard these speakers on a concrete floor with carpet and they had a limited bass response. This setup also had the speakers about 7' from the rear wall. Distance to the rear wall also effects the bass response.
