kharma 3.2 & sub...

hello my friends....ive been reading at least two years your forum but i just signed up.....its never too late they say......:)

i would like to get some feedback about the kharma sub....i know this has been discussed before but i would like to ask some questions and hear opinions form people who actually own it....im using the 3.2 and a gryphon diablo integrated...resolutiion opus21 cd and valhalla cables......

1. people say the integration is semaless.....but this happens when they put the sub under 80hz....what about using it intil 150 or 200 hz...????

2. will i gain sth in spl or "perceived" spl....?????

3. will the woofer in kharma speaker work less with the sub in..??or it will move thesame but the sub will laso move...???if it works less maybe the mids will become sweeter as well...???

4. Do you think it worths it...???.does it fill the bottom octave..??..will i be trully full range....and bottom line....
WILL THE MUSIC BE MORE SATISFYING...???

thanx a lot guys,,,

Yes, and since I build speakers similar to the 3.2 with Accuton drivers, I have zero difficulty with integration. I

What is the problem is the same thing Seas Mag Excel driver guys have is the tremendously low distortion afforded by Accuton neo and Seas drivers through 300-100 hz range where they are magnitudes lower in distortion than many comparable drivers. Just have to use the right subwoofer. The 12" I use works great for a $1,500 subwoofer.

Personally, I don't know where the difficulty comes from.

guys thanx a lot for the answers......
probably i wont use a sub...i am REALLY afraid of messing the speakers wonderful coherence and the magic touch....and then ill have to sell the sub as well......anyway my problem is not that big.....actually what ive noticed with kharmas is that on poor recordings the music becomes a little bit flat with no excitement.......on good recordings the kmusic comes ALIVE......

Rushton since i live in Greece ill try to find these cables and audition the here...
i think ill be looking around for some cables....
except a user which actually has the kharma sub with 3.2 has sth to add......
thanks again,
mike

Jtinn did you actually set your sub right.
I heard the Kharma 3.2 speakers with the Kharma sub for an hour at the Stereophile show in 2005.
It was in the GTT audio room.
At first I didn't think the sub was on.
The bass was so seamless.
Then the guy at GTT audio demonstrated how he set the system with the sub on.
That sub blended in so perfectly to the 3.2 speakers.
One thing I will say.
This sub is large.
So you will need room for it.
But it was an awesome sub.
It was one of the best sounding subs I'v heard for music.
Read what Audio Federation said about the system.
He was also raving about the 3.2 speakers with the Kharma sub.
