Kharma, Wilson Sophia, JM Labs I'm confussed????

I currently have the JM lab Micros (non BE). I'm driving them with a YBA passion integrated at 100w/ch. My room size is about 16x14x12. I'm thinking about upgrading to a full size speaker vs the monitors. I'm currently running my system with a REL Storm sub. It does fill in the bottom well, but it doesn't have the full range sound. I want to spend under 10k. my thought was used wilson's, or JM lab mezzos, or one of the Kharmas. i'd be anxious to hear some advice?

I don't know what planet you are coming from, but i can assure you that my Kharma Grand Ceramique Midis are a precious comodity. These speakers blew my previous, the outstanding Egglestonworks Andra II, straight out of my rig. I could respect you objecting a certain aspect of these speakers performance, but to indiscriminately state that they suck simply shows me that you are catastrophically biased by your own personal agenda. Simply put, you piss me off!

Apointer4, you have been had. The great Fmpnd, (Frank) has one of the most unique Kharma's in the world. I wish I had the pair he has now.

See Frank, look what you started! LOL!

Aponter, you're a funny guy. I had such a great laugh seeing how you missed both the smiley at the end of Fmpnd's post (or maybe you didnt' understand what a smiley is), and also his system--linked right after his name, with Kharma speakers as the VERY FIRST item in it.

LOL!!!! Aponter4, didn't mean to get yer dander up big fella! In fact, I owned the exact speaker you have (in fact, go read my review of your speaker at www.stereotimes.com to find out what I think of them) and loved em!

Another fact, Pamorama (Mr. Mike) has that review pair!!

Calanctus, thanks for pointing out my sick sense of humor for Aponter4 !!!

Enjoy !!

TECHNICAL CORRECTION!! I actually reviewed the same pair Michael Fremer reviewed that did NOT have the Enigma upgrade. I enjoyed the speaker SO much I bought a new pair WITH the Enigma upgrade and THAT is the pair the esteemed Panorama is enjoying!! (sorry Mike)

Sea2, one thing I should add -- IMHO, Kharma speakers ,although not unique in this aspect, need to mated with the proper associated gear and cables and MUST be set-up properly to achieve what they are capable of.

I have heard from a number of my friends who are all Kharma owners (and whose ears I trust) who attended CES this year that the Kharma/Tenor room did NOT show them off at all. I wasn't there so I can't comment directly, but this opinion was from guys who like, own and ENJOY Kharmas. Yes, I know show conditions can be horrific, but I heard them at 2003 CES and they were not horrific. Besides, my friends were taking that into consideration. What this says to me is: Make sure you set them up properly!!!!!

Just my $.03
