Agree with Howie and if needed u can also look into adding Kharma's subwoofer if you want more bass....Avalons are not the most dynamic speakers and behind Kharmas in this regard though they are execellent in other areas. I have no exp w/ Von S. speakers but intrigued myself...though I agree WAF can be an issue w/ these...but you shouldn;t assume anything on WAF in my exp...sometimes what they think look good are not what you expected them to do so...for example my significant other thought Wilson Maxxs looked kool while the Kharmas too ordinary! So don't rep-judge, show them!
Kharma CRM3.2 FE vs Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario
Has anyone listened to both these speakers who could provide a comparison? I currently own Vandersteen 5's and am considering moving up (in aesthetics and cost, and I expect sound quality) to one of these $20K+ speakers. I am trying to find a beautiful looking and sounding speaker (WAF problems increasing with the 5's) that is no larger than the Vandys (preferably smaller) that will work well in a room with a listening position about 10 ft from the speakers. Amp is DNA-225 moded by SMc, speaker cable is 8m of OCOS. Music is classical, jazz, and diverse mix. Thanks in advance for suggestions.
