@ Rcr:

Kharma has it's own amplifier's the MP-150 or MP-350

http://www.kharma.com/_datasheets/kds_m_mp150.pdf
http://www.kharma.com/_datasheets/kds_exq_mp350.pdf

Also Lamm amplifier's work greate with Kharma speakers.

Goldmund is also a good combination for Kharma speakers, www.goldmund.com

Personal preference has to decide what direction you want to go

Sorry for the late response.
I've encoutered some acoustical problems in the new appartment, mega bass resonance and a lot of echo ! Trying to solve this problem by adding some acoustical material like RPG basstraps, Texaa Vibrasso etc. etc.

At the moment only the Mini's are playing. See added picture for info about bass resonance / echo

11-18-06:

The Siltech - Echo Bay speakercables have to be modified from bi-wiring to single wiring (Kharma's don't have bi-wire terminals), thinking also to upgrade them by the "SATT" treatment from Siltech.

Does anyone has experience with this upgrade ? Thanks

The people from the Kharma factory in Breda - Netherlands are very serious about there products, a look in their workshop will tell you that. Only quality products / people are used during construction of the loudspeakers.

I'm interested in Kharma CRM-3.2FE, also listened to Wilson Audio - Watt / Puppy 7 which I also liked a lot but they are very expensive in the netherlands (€ 28.000,- pair) compared to Kharma. In my opinion Kharma is a little easier to live with, less problems positioning the loudspeakers than Wilson.

About Siltech: no junk but I just like what it does with the sound !
