Kharma 3.2 CRM FE and which power amp?


Hello.
I have opened few treads about CAT JL-2 Mk2 power amps and how it match to Wilson W/P 6,7 speakers.
I consider Kharma 3.2 CRM FE are very good speakers,too.
Different from Wilson but great.
My question is which power amp will be the most appropriate for this speakers? I know Tenor 75Wi is superb match with 3.2 but how would be with CAT JL-2 Mk2 or Lamm ML2/2.1? Is Tenor more rich sounding than CAT and Lamm or am I wrong? I prefer Transparent cabling in case of W/P 7 but how would be with Kharma speaker. I suppose it is not a big difference but a big enough to make mistake.
I can not go to dealer and listen to this combinations otherwise I will not ask you for help!

Thank you for your response.
Regards
Sasa

I don't own the Kharma,or Lamm equip.,but have heard them extensively.IMO,the Lamm 2.1 is a stunning match with the 3.2(my favorite Kharma,and one of my FAV speakers,regardless of price/low bass necessity/large room filling capability etc.)!I have heard this combo,as well as many other Kharma/amp combos,including their(Kharma's) "Dreck" solid state amps,as compared to the Lamm's,once you have experienced them!My pal actually gets superb sound from his Kharma 1.0's using a stunning Rowland 8t.Really good timbres,and INCREDIBLE bass.Much better(as per "natural sounding")than with the Kharma sub,IMO!Yet,to me,the Lamm 2.1 is SCARY GOOD.I simply cannot put my finger on it.It is NOT the tube vs solid state debate.It is something more "gestalt"!!

The little 3.2's,to me,are SO good,with the LAMM 2.1's that IMO(and this IS all, only, my opinion)the addition of the "heavily marketed" Kharma sub literally destroys the magic obtained with this stunning combo,of speaker/amp.I have nothing against the sub,and others love it(I own a sub,too),yet to me,if I had this combo(something the future may bring),I would NOT give a darn about any frequency losses,in the bass.They are THAT good!No,actually they can be MAGICAL!!

Best to all!
