realworld experience: Kharma subwoofer + 3.2 CRM

Thanks to the Kharma personnel, I was able to hear the 3.2s at the show with and without the sub working. In my opinion, and those that were with me, the sub did NOT in any way shrink the soundstage of the 3.2s.

In fact, the addition of the sub very seamlessly completed the low end, and if anything, increased the sense of depth in the soundstage.

I was truly impressed at how the sub could be so finely adjusted to complement the 3.2s, and yet not overload such a small room like the one at the NY show (I would guess 12 x 18).

IMHO, this is one of the most effective sub/speaker marriages I have experienced.

Tpsonic, what do you mean by your comment;

"the 75K Kharmas are much harder to drive in the bass (unusual impedence load)."

????....maybe i have miss-interpreted your comment.

i assume you are referring to the Kharma Exquisite 1D's....which i own. my experience (and the impedence curve) are in conflict with your statement. in fact, they are a particularly easy load for a full frequency speaker.

i am not commenting on the Kharma Subwoofer; which i have not heard.

Mike,i think he is referring to Midi Exq. Diamond.

Yes,Audio 999,that is what I am talking anout.Two pairs of Lamm ML2.1s were used on these speakers and they ran out of gas.Ditto for the Tenor OTLs and the Tenor HPs didn't sound as good.TAS review is upcoming.

thanks Tpsonic for the clarification.

why mess with Diamond Midi-Exquisites when the regular Exquisite 1D's do it all and work great with all the amps you mention? the price of the two speakers is close enough that it shouldn't be an issue.
