Avalon Opus Ceramique versus Kharma 3.2

Hi,

As a lot of people who had chance to heared Lamm amps, I will made a system for one of those wonderfull amp.
At the moment I've the M1.1 (hybrid) and will upgrade to a tube ML1.1 or ML2.1 in few months.

I know the Kharma 3.2 - I love their medium with Lamm amp, but not my wife !! She said they look like a coffin ! Bad WAF !!

So, to keep my wife... I'mlooking for speaker not like coffin but also with ceramique drivers,to keep this wonderfull medium, in the same price level.

Avalon Opus ceramique look good, but here in France, I don't have the chance to heard them - and with a Lamm amp it will be really difficult.

If you have the chance to hear this combo, please, give me advice !

thanks

David

I'm driving my Eidolons Vision (which use same tweeter and midrange drivers as Opus) with a Lamm M1.2 Ref hybrids without any problems.

Having said that, I think ML1.1 amps are a better match than either of Lamm hybrids, since they sound fuller in the midrange, which in turn complements Avalons sound characteristics better.

I wouldn't worry too much about power - I have achived an OUTSTANDING success driving my Eidolons with 16W SET amp. In fact, it made me thinking about selling my Lamms and getting a SET amp.
