Kharma 1.0/ Talon Khorus/Watt Puppy 6 or Sonata?

my choice is kharma 1.0 limited edition

I am in a similar situation...but, the watt puppy has 93dB sens, Kharma at 89 or 87dB. isn't your AV at 96+ and should work better with only 12 watts?

You've really got a wide spread of speakers here.

I'm enjoying my Sonata mkIIs, but am frankly driving them with 50W Cary V12. Now, I never come close to using much of the Cary's power, so I think you could get away with 12W. These are 95db efficient speakers. They aren't that small, but I guess about 1/2 the width of the Duos. Still, they take up some room. Watt's are smaller. I've not stood next to the Khorus to get an impression of size, but I think they're a wee bit smaller.

I too have listened to all your options there. The new version of the Sonatas MK11 are leagues above the original.I would make the Sonatas 11's a must listen.

Hi Rvisinta, I own and love that Sentesi. As Audiokinesis stated it sounds much more powerful than it's 12 watts rating. I use the Sentesi with the Coincident Total Eclipse. This is an excellent combination IMO. I also use the Cary V12 with this speaker when I want rock & roll. Coincident also makes a smaller more efficient speaker called the Victory. With it's 97 db efficiency, this could be an excellent match with your Sentesi. Check with Audiokinesis about this combination as I believe he is familiar with the Coincident speakers. He is also very helpful and a very nice man.
