Rance, your speakers are going through final testing this week and then Polish and prep for shipping.

This is your actual speaker going through testing.

Fantastic!
And it is a huge benefit for the listening room to be in the main living room. My setup too is also in my main living room and between my wife and I, it almost always turned on. I’m getting my moneys worth thats for sure lol! Congrats again!

Woohoo! Thanks for the update Mike.
 
Thanks for all the kind words! It was an all vinyl evening last night........very fun!

After a year of not listening to much music I'm finding out that something was missing from my life........thankfully it's back.
 
The profile of these speakers is so elegant. They appear designed to be lived with, rather than looking like some speculatively uber engineered design meant to dominate a designated listening room. I need to hear them.

Congrats Mark. Bit envious to be honest.. Which cocktail sounds the best....:audiophile::celebrate008_2:
 
Hi Mark, it appears the speakers are quite close to the front wall. I’m guessing it’s working with no issue? How far they are from the front wall? Curious as they are back ported.

The backs of the speakers are 21 inches from the wall. Ideally they would be further into the room, but part of the compromise with my darling wife so that we could have the system in the main living area was to keep things aesthetically pleasing. It's still sounding amazing though.

Hi Mark,

My Vandersteen 7 Mk2’s are only 29 inches off the front wall and that was the recommended position from my dealer. In fact, he threatened to slug me if I moved them. :)

Congrats, that is a gorgeous setup. As long as you are getting good bass, you are fine! Kharma is very elegant (aptly named...)

Interesting!

Did he make his recommendation after locating the room's anchor point? :rolleyes:

Hi Jim,

He measured the room, the distance to my listening position, mounted lasers on the speakers for positioning and toe-in of the speakers and used Vandertones to balance the bass. I am extremely pleased with his setup (he’s done many Vandy’s) and haven’t moved them since.

I really like the aesthetics of Kharma speakers. I think Kharma, Zellaton along with Magico make the best looking high-end speakers on the planet.

Awesome!!!

How did he arrive at the optimum listening position (the Anchor Point)?
 
DB9's are getting better every day. I'm still in the process of playing with the spacing between the speakers. The Kharmas seem to like being a little further apart than my Salons did. I'm going to compare my Kimber Select 6063 speaker cables to the Audioquest William Tell today and see which one I prefer. The Kimber are an all copper cable, which I have preferred in the past.
