I was laying in bed, fighting with aftermath of a nasty flue, reading. The always “on” Rohde & Schwarz tuner was getting WHRB. The Macondo was up at 3 clicks very softly filing the room with WHRB’s “Cello Challenge” and “20th Century Brass Concer...

[quote user="Markus"]Hi Romy,

Anybody who ever tried SS amp with compressions drivers or the drivers of high-sensitivity that can be driven by minimum current knows how it works. Nelson Pass created with his First Watt project a lot of publicity to the idea. A few watts, in p...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Romy's comments on "axial rotation" of the horns (meaning in this case, angling the horns) has me thinking. I had planned to build in a vertical tilt adjustment for horns located near the floor and ceiling... I woul...

Well, this is what I call “beautiful but” category. Unquestionably
it is very creative, firm, light and very attractive, and it is wonderful to solicit

Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...
