Re: Kharma elegances s7-s speakers
Arrived today. Color is Aubergine. A stock/standard color. This is the baby of the family. Puts out unreal bass and a massive soundstage. Incredibly engaging and musical. $21,750 MSRP
We had a black pair originally, but they sold in about two weeks of getting them, so decided to try Aubergine this time around.
Driving them with the Luxman 595SE.

Re: Kharma elegances s7-s speakers
Same price as Magico A5. When presented with those two options, what would a customer find more appealing about the Kharma than the Magico? What type of buyer gravitates to one over the other?

Re: Kharma elegances s7-s speakers
As to your question, so many variables. Size, shape, color choices, ported Vs sealed and of course, sound. Originally Posted by brodricj

Kharma elegances s7-s speakers
TAS review of S7-S:
Kharma Elegance S7-S Signature - The Absolute Sound
“The Kharma Elegance S7-S Signature is on a very short list of the world’s most musical, luxurious, and sophisticated speakers. And I have to tip my hat for the elegant way it takes its place on that list. It serves as a reminder that sometimes we don’t merely own a high-end component just to listen to, but also for the sheer pleasure of its company. We all can’t afford an S7-S, but I wish every audiophile could have the opportunity to hear one. That’s what I would call spreading around a lot of good Kharma.”
And this is the baby!

Re: Kharma elegances s7-s speakers
Man, those two speakers (Kharma and Magico) are gorgeous. I'm positive either of them sound every bit as good as they look. Some day I could be in the market for a speaker on that level. But they could be a little much for my 27' x 16' with 7' ceiling, room. My listening chair and space forms an 8' equilateral triangle with the speakers. My recording/music studio occupies 1/2 of the room (behind myself and my listening area). I share the other 1/2 of the room with the TV, a wood burning stove, my wife's and my recliners, and my listening area.
However, my Harbeth Super HL 5+ 40th Anniversary model speakers are no slouches when it comes to sound quality. I'm very happy with them. And, as a medium sized speaker, they match up with my room extremely well. So, I'm not sure how much I'd be gaining with larger speakers. One way to find out...give 'em a listen, right?. And I might do just that. Sometime in the future anyway. But, man, are those speakers beautiful?!! Sure would love to hear them.Amplifier: Pass Labs INT 250 integrated.

Re: Kharma elegances s7-s speakers
If anything the S7s may not be enough for that size room, a nearfield setup might get them working as long as they could be accommodated with reasonable space to the front wall. I had bigger Kharma's in a much small room. Tremendous speakers, mine were also Aubergine, the finish is exquisite Originally Posted by bluegrassphile

Kharma speakers are even better looking in person.

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
