Anyone tried the new Kharma amps?

Injona, I posted a thread that was titled, "a very interesting amp audtion" that was about the Kharma amps that your asking about. My friend actually replaced his $20,000.00 Lamm monoblocks with the Kharma Monoblock amps to power his Kharma speakers. My post will give you the details if you look it up in the archives. Hope this helps.

I have heard these only under show conditions on the Midi-Exquisites but, even then, they were quite good. Big sound from a very diminutive amp. These amps are VERY heavy for their size as well. They are NOT digital amps, are not "ice" amps and do not sound "digital" (actually they sounded very much like your better analog solid state amplifiers). From what I have been told by a friend who has much more experience than I do with them, they have a sonic signature akin to the Lamm M1.2 hybrids (though I will have to have that proven to me before I can attest to it). I am getting a pair in for audition with the next week or so and will report back if you are interested.

Wow, I didn't know that Kharma had entered the realm of amp production. Should be interesting--and expensive. I used to own a pair of the Midi Exquisites. Probably should've saved the money and gotten the 3.2s like you. They're by far the best value in the Kharma line. Before you get the amps, definitely look into the Ceramique subwoofer. If you have the room and budget, it really makes the 3.2s come alive.

I'm sorry to disagree,but I thought the Lamms were FAR superior to the "not great to my ears" Kharma amps!The Kharma amps,to me and my friend,who was with me,were flat and dynamically constricted,compared to the stunning Lamms.Just our opinions though!

thank you for your replies. The amps cost $6,800 and are 150 watts. anyone find them for cheaper. I also heard that kharma will have a 250w later next year. if they have sonic qualities equal to the Lamms then they are value for money. my other option is to purchase used Tenor 75wi but i heard there were problems esp now the manufacturer is out of business
