Did Kharma make their 3.2 FE too short?


I hardly presume to know squat about speaker design, but since placing my speakers on 6 inch wooden blocks, they have improved immeasurably: soundstage is higher, deeper, more spacious, highs more airy and imaging better than when placed flat on the floor. The reasons for doing this are mentioned in a separate thread and are irrelevant here - what I want to know from Kharma pundits is: What is the down-side and what is lost in this elevation?
Room 21 X 16 ft with 20 ft A-frame high celing; Speakers along short wall, 8 ft apart, 3 ft from walls. Were the speakers designed for smaller rooms? Will this elevation affect measured coherence and am I hearing an artefact effect? Speaker experts please respond. No doubt I have a "new" set of better speakers with the help of 6" of solid maple. Would love to know what Kharma thinks.

My guess is ( being a Kharma 1.0 owner ) that the 3.2 is made for a room smaller than yours..From what I have read in the past many people buy them and love them but the ones that quickly sell them are the ones with room that are around or larger than your size room.Not because they arn't a wonderfull speaker,but because the have to be pushed to hard and asked to do something there are not bulit for ..My guess is your room has too much volume of space....
