Any experience with Kharma Ceramique Sub.?


Does anyone own Kharma Ce sub or heared it with any of Ce series?

Iheard them at HE2004 and felt they did not come close to blending with the CE3.2 but that should not stop the mainstream press from giving it a rave review.If you are a current CE3.2 owner (which I am not,but,LOVE them)think carefully about mating any kind of sub with them,unless you can't live without lots of bass.I've heard the 3.2 on many occasions and they can really pump superb QUALITY bass.Those 7 inch mid/bass drivers are just way too responsive for one to keep the magic of the design when coupled to any sub.It's just my own observation and opinion so maybe you may feel differently.Good luck.
I posed a similar question regarding experience with the Kharma sub mated with the 3.2's. While the thread got carried away, you will find that many people felt that the sub integrated very well with the ceramique 3.2FE. Importantly, it was felt that the sub did not interfere with that Kharma disappearing act, huge soundstage etc. I understand that there will soon be a review in TAS by JV in the near future, beyond his teaser in a previous TAS issue in his HE 2004 review.
I have had the sub in my system for about 2 weeks now. I'm using it with the 3.2's. Although break in is not yet complete, I can say that this sub is nothing short of miraculous. Despite it's large size, it completely disappears, with perfect integration with the 3.2's. Adjustments are made with a wired remote. They include high pass, low pass, slope, phase level, and it has a 3 channel EQ.
The sub adds the physical punch to the bottom that was missing with the 3.2's. It also seems to expand and deepen the soundstage-I have no idea why, but it's not a subtle change.
I can say to everyone that has the 3.2's, you really can't imagine how this sub can take it to a whole new level.
