Kharma or Avalon

I agree wholeheartedly with S2k dude. If you're going with either the Avalons or the Kharmas I would seriously consider replacing the Aragon. In my experience, Both are fantastic speakers but only when partnered with the right electronics. If you're leaning towards tube gear I would go with the Kharmas. They are an easier load that the Avalons.

Guess two other members beat me to the punch. As always, great speakers only sound so,so with so,so electronics.

Be careful of the aging ceramic drivers. They have a tendency to crack.

 Avalon Opus w/ 6" sub firing down. Have had them 14 years now. 12 years with Spectral / MIT system. Drive by Pass Lab XA160.8s and XP20 now. Maybe, MAYBE a pair of Rockports would convince me to change. The Avalons will  also reflect your choice of front ends. They do like power, to make them sing. Very musical with Pass.
