DB9 Signature

Outstanding Mark! Glad you are happy with the new amp and speakers.

Look forward to your impressions on the speaker cables. :popcorn:
 
Hi Rick,

I'm extremely happy! I will write an update in the next couple of days when I'm not so busy.
 
The DB9-S resembles and has a US MSRP similar to the Wilson Sasha DAW. Does anybody here have experience with these two speakers they'd like to share?
 
Mark I am seriously considering the Kharma DB9-S and wanted to ask a few questions. What speakers did you move from and did you listen or consider any others before deciding on the Kharma? Where did you hear the DB9 at to help you make the decision? Thanks

Hi Marty,

Mark auditioned and purchased the Kharma DB9-S from Mike at Suncoast Audio. He can fill you in on the rest.

Best,
Ken
 
Thanks Ken, I was pretty sure Mike sold them to Mark but wasn’t sure if he had heard them elsewhere. Mike no longer has a pair of DB9-S in the showroom.

True, they are at my house. You are more than welcome to come listen any time, especially now that I’ve got the room fixed up. Also, they will be returning to the store in December/January when my new speakers arrive (Kharma MIDI Exquisite 3.0 with upgraded Omega F drivers).

Hi Marty, I did get them from Mike. My previous speaker was Revel Salon 2's, actually for the second time. I had gone through Raidho D3's and a couple of others before getting the Salons for the second time.

I wasn't even looking for speakers when I was down in Sarasota visiting the 2 Mikes. Went to his store with a bunch if Mike's friends and couldn't believe my ears.

I'll answer any questions you have.
 
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Quite the change from Salons to Kharma! What qualities won you over with the Kharma the Revels didn’t have? Thanks again

The Kharmas,to my ears, are the best speaker I've heard. When I heard them I couldn't get them out of my head. Everything just sounded so real and natural.

I'm sensitive to tweeters that are bright,these have the best highs, Sweet,detailed and very natural. Even better than the Salons, which I thought had the best beryllium tweeter in the world. The one thing about these speakers that stands out the most is their ability to convey everything in the recording, stuff you've never heard before no matter how many times you've listened to it. There seems to be a complete lack of background noise that allows all that information to be heard. Huge soundstage too.

You really should hear them if you can. Even the little S7 is an incredible speaker. If I ever do buy another pair of speakers, it will be something better in the Kharma line.

That's something to look forward to! You had said you thought the Viva Spirits would overdrive the room -- what is it about the MIDI that would make it a better fit?

Vivid Spirits? Yes, they are a much bigger speaker. The midis are actually 1 inch shorter than the DB9-S. A world class small speaker. How novel! Most $100k+ speakers are behemoths.

Hah! My bad. When I searched Kharma Midi Exquisite 3.0 the first thing to pop up is the Midi Grand 3.0.
