Can anyone describe the sound of the Kharma...


Ceramiques 1.0? I am looking to jump back into high-end audio and am intrigued by the Kharma line. I previously owned Avalon Eclipse/ARC LS15/Manley Classic250 mono tube amps. I loved the holography of Avalon's and their musicality, but am looking for something a little less difficult to drive. Are Ceramiques 1.0 this speaker?

Thank you!

I believe TAS reviewed these speakers over a year ago and, though the review was overall quite favorable, it did mention that the speaker was a bit "bright," if memory serves.
Nov. 2000. I would recommend any interested parties read that article. Thanks.
TAS in the Oct/Nov 2000 #120 reviewed the 1.0. Those interested in an in depth assessment are urged to read it.
Germanboxers: As a fellow audioguy also going through an entire re-build, my best wishes go out to you. Unlike many, I believe you have gone the "right" way, i.e. buy the speakers that most spoke to you and build the system around them. I haven't made my speaker decision yet.
I feel as nervous as when I was deciding about popping the question to my wife! Oh well, at least divorce is cheaper in audio: no damn attorneys (w/all due apologies to those in the legal profession)! I have also not spent sleepless nights wondering what my ex-speakers were up to...
