Some questions about Kharma Exquisite Reference


I'm interested to buy a pair of Exquisite Reference 1E speakers. However,the size of my audio room is just about 7M * 4M * 3.2M or 23'*13'*10'(L/W/H). I wonder whether the space is a serious problem for Exquisite Reference or not?

Can you elaborate some amplifiers which are the right one for Exquisite Reference 1E? What's their sound? Can Tenor 150Hps, LAMM ML2, VIOLA Symphony, PASS XA160 or DarTzeel NHB-108 be good choices?

The differences of performance between Exquisite Reference 1A and 1E are significant? I saw Exquisite Reference 1D-E in the internet, what does 1D-E mean? What's the difference between 1D and 1E?

Any comments are very welcome. I'm eager to know the answers. Thank you for kind help!

1D-e means that it is the "E" version with a diamond tweeter. I had the Exquisite Reference with the dimaond tweeter in a 14' x 18' x 8' room and it was fine since the room was heavily treated. I ran them with Lamm M1.2 Refs. Tenor 300 Hybrids and Tenor OTLs and Pass XA 160s (which I was reviewing)- all of which drove them well. In the end, for ALL that they do well, I felt the Lamm 1.2 was the best match. In MY opinion, and that is all it is, I think the Lamm ML2, while a fabulous amp (one of the best around) in many applications, may not be enough to bring them to life in your room.
