Re: Speakers less than $12K

NBR,

It is OK to expect “no apparent weakness” after spending so much money … but as you know the High End works in the mystery ways…

The speakers you and others already have proposed (and knowing the crowd… I feel will be proposed) I would not put in my list ”the best buy for $12K”. I would give to you an absurd lead … but, who knows, you might find it worth to explore.

You probably are familiar with Kharma speakers. They are pompous, pretensions, with a wonderful publicity, “good reviews” but for any serious demands they dod not sound seriously. I do not like them… even their top models. However, Kharma have one very interesting model which is do not have a lot of attention but in fact delivers an EXTREMELY interesting result. I do not remember the model name but it is fairly small, the only 2-way model. (I believe it calls “Kharma 3”) That speaker have VERY accurate and VERY well-balanced sound. They do not go very low.. and this is good. I could go more and more abut them but I would defiantly look for them if I were on $12K market

I think that their retail price somewhere around $17K .. but this is a retail price. The street price could be lower and particularly at the contemporary market. I never have seen them used.

Please be advised that those speakers will be more capable then you amplification and if you get to try them then your ML will be the weakest element of the chain.

Good luck,
The Cat
