Opinions about Kharma Speakers

I recently purchased a used pair of Champaigne 1.0 Kharmas Ceramiques. To me these are the most natural sounding and musical speakers I have ever heard. These speakers just have the ability to totally dissappear. I realize that there are better speakers out there ,but the only other speaker I would consider is another more expensive Kharma.I just love there sound!

I agree with Thorman, these speakers are hard to beat at any price. I have a pair of Ceramique 1.1s. When I bought them I was using a Gamut 200 amp (which I highly recommend). The sound is very musical, acuurate without being clinical, like a fine violin.
I just bought a pair of Tenor amps, and I can't believe that you can get this quality of sound out of $16,000 speakers, as soon as I can afford it I want to buy the Grand Ceramiques.

Very good speakers!! Beautiful integration of drivers. Crossover is one of the best I have heard. Fit and finish is outstanding. No we don't sell them.

Recently purchased the 3.0's and don't regreat a thing. Beautifull workmanship and very revealing of the electronics used.

Haydn, i guess i may not need to tell you what i think about Kharmas. i did hear from Jonathan that you will be joining us on Saturday. i'll have the Exquisites all warmed up.

i'm in Jackson Hole this week and kinda out of touch. i had to drive into town to find the web and no cell phone. my wife says it is good for the soul.

Jackson Hole, what a name of a town!!! lol

Thank you for the input. My previous speakers were W/P 5.1 and 6.0s. With the favorable press of the W/P 7.0s, it was tempting to go with the safe bet. I knew if the Kharmas had at least a small portion of the sound signature of the Exquisites, they would be special. I worry a little bit about the bass response. I expect coherence and tonal accuracy from the Kharmas.

I agree with the above comments. I have the Ceramique 1.0's and I drive them with a pair of 30 watt Thor amps. These are some of the best speakers that I have ever heard. They are very easy to drive. The bass response is very solid. Most people who listen to my system think I have a subwoofer in the room. I have heard low notes that I have not heard before on many systems. However my room has a suspended wood floor. I have heard these speakers on a concrete floor with carpet and they had a limited bass response. This setup also had the speakers about 7' from the rear wall. Distance to the rear wall also effects the bass response.
