Kharma FE 3.2 - be careful, space crucial


I have 2 systems in my house - one vastly more expensive than the other, but the cheaper one is infinitely more satisfying, due to one simple reason: I chose the wrong speakers for the space they occupy. The speakers, the much vaunted Kharma 3.2 FEs are beautiful, coherent speakers, but cannot do justice to a room that is 23' X 17' X 15ft ceilings. Even with 8" of added height through Timbernation blocks. They just dont fill the space and strain to do so. They are better with added height, but dont fill the room with the visceral, alive, palpable sound and "being there" presence of the cheaper sytem. It's like sitting in the foyer of Carnegie Hall. The cheaper system is sitting in row 4. But when I look at options, I see that it is not so easy to sell these speakers - there is a mint pair on A'gon that cost $21,000, not selling for 29 days for $8,000. Resale of these expensive speakers is not easy, as I want to try a pair of Line array speakers in this large space, but to do so I would probably have to virtually give these Kharmas away for a song. So the message is simple: Look and ask harder questions than I did before you buy such expensive speakers that are not made for such large spaces. I bought them without listening in my room (obviously) but will not make that mistake again. The problem is how to arrange an audition of line arrays in my room. If anyone in the Northeast has line arrays in a similar space, including dealers, please let me know. Thanks.

I was thinking of contacting Selah, but what will I do with my Kharmas? I've watched the same 3 speakers reamin unsold on A'gon for a month. I'm not moving them downstairs, since that system is just fine with $3K speakers biamped - Kharmas cant be bi-amped.
Springbook,

In your elite stratosphere this is one of the issues you run into....like the housing market at the high-end it can take well over a year to move a property - sometimes 2 or 3 years.

I do not think it is at all a reflection on the speakers....just the market segment you are in.
Well I know it breaks all the rules but I use a Krell Resolution sub between my 3.2's and they blend beautifully.Great Kharma mids and highs with tight awesome bass. You just have to put a little time in to get it right. My room is quite large and I can't imagine desiring more volume(loudness).Incidentally the "new" list price of the 3.2fe is $25k. The resale problem occurs IMO because too many guys are willing to give their gear away without being patient and then they end up competing with like minded impulse sellers. A vicious cycle. Kharma will never appeal to eveyone and it wasn't designed to do so. It's a great alltime speaker IMO.
