Has Anyone Heard the Kharma Loudspeakers
Kharmas sound the best on REAL tube amps like Jadis or Cary (805C). Some solid state could apply too say Jeff Rowland and perhaps MBL comes to mind.If you have room 20x15 or bigger checkout CE 1.0 otherwise look into 2.1 which are perfect for medi... 
for SF Extrema :pass 350 or ml 336?
Hello Terry,My recomendation goes for Jeff Rowland 8Ti/HC or GOLDMUND 29+Good luck,Tommy

Well I got to agree with Plato on this one. The most musicall sound was coming from MBL room.At half price of HP's Reference room it was a steal.I would like to add that Mr. Wolfgang Meltzky of MBL has choosen the best by far repertoir to demo his... 
Amp for Sonus Faber GP?
Sound Factory used to use Spectral, now they use GOLDMUND. I would recommend their integratedSRI 2 125W per channel, a perfect match.Spectral DMA-100S would a good choice as a stand alone device. GOOD LUCK 
Absolute Best power amp, tube ss
My vote goes to NEW Goldmund Mimesis 29.4+ for solid state and for tubes . To be perfectly honest the winner must be CAT JL-1 Signature and Jadis JA-250.Have fun :-) 
tubes or ss for amati homage
YoBest amp for them will be Spectral and Goldmund .ONLY extremly fast amps need to apply.Forget the tubes on them. Don't even thing about SET.Any questions let me know?Good luck 
Jadis Defy 7 MkIV w/ KT 90's tweeks
I had the "jEDI" amp too.. This is one of the better amps out there IMHO. Kudos to you.I had best sound with Siltech FTM cable and I did use ESP power cord. I would like to suggest that you ged rid off Spectral and get CAT Signature MkIII or Ultim... 
Vote for the best speakers in 10K range
The best speakers for 10K that I heard : Martin Logan Prodigy, Audio Physic Avanti III, B&W 802N. If you are in Europe I would add to the list Audio Physic Calderas II they are only here $ 9500. Enjoy it 
pass x350 vs. plinius sa 250mk4.
Pass is better than Plinius and should be a perfect match for Extrema...that's what they needa strong solid state amp. You can also give it a try to Jeff Rowland 8Ti...but at much higher cost .Good luck 
Audio Physic: Virgo or Libra???
I had both Libra and Virgo and I think that Libra is better but more difficult to drive and likes/prefers bigger room.If you consider Libra go out and listen to Avanti III they are perhaps best speakers under 10K today....Unfortunately they can be... 
Recommended speakers for Goldmund SRA
Sonus faber GP Concerto or AudioPhysic Tempo IIIbest buys and perfect match for Goldmund gear. 
Vote for the best speakers in 10K range
10K a great price point spending more not always helps the sound.....My favorites JM LAb Mezzo,B&W 801N,802N,Audio Physics Avanti III,Martin Logan Prodigy.Sure you can spend more and improve what?....at most 5% and additonal 5k,10K or 15K of e... 
sonus faber or b w?
Hello AgainI say B&W 802N hands down,also if you are in USA you getting better value with B&W.Sound Factory products are overpriced here. Extrema when new they used to cost $ 6500 retail in Europe. Buy 802N and give them nice solid state a... 
amp for sonus faber extrime
YoYour choices are kind of limited..I would go with Pass X-350 and recommend (from my own experience) Jeff Rowland 8Ti,Spectral DMA-180 or Goldmund Mimesis 29 (this one was the best of the bunch) 
Best Integrated
Davetan NONE OF THE ABOVEGryphon Callsito 2200 costs 7000$ and is three times better than Madrigals toy.Then we have Accuphase E-407,and for final nail in the coffin I say Goldmund SRI2Go out and listen.....please share your experience with us :-)...
