Have been running Arcus for past year. My last set of speakers--stage from wall-to-wall, superior depth and height (tough to get with many speakers/systems), excellent bass, outstanding mids and highs, very smooth, dynamic and balanced; above all--musical. Probably the finest two-ways I have ever heard. However, these attributes don't show to their best unless you have adequate power. Avalon says 50 wpc is minimum; I'm running 125 pc. OTOH, I've heard the Arcus driven by an Accuphase A-50 (50 wpc class A) in a room approx 18x28x10 and the power was more than adequate at high spls. But you're also looking at a $14K amp with high current delivery. Balance of my system: c-j 14LS, Accuphase DP-55 CD player and T-109 tuner, Goertz Micro-Purl interconnects and SYMO (Swiss) speaker cable. Hope this gives some insight. IMHO, you could buy the Arcus with confidence and never look back. As to system compatibility with your gardware, you'd have to audition it all together. Good luck! gino

Tsv--Sounds like you have a terrific system. Not familiar with Kharma speakers, but am very familiar with Eidolons. Simply the best at their price point, IMHO. Close bud owns Audio Unlimited here in Denver and uses Eidolons, Arcuses and Opuses for most eqipment auditions. You can't possibly go wrong with any of them. Good luck and let us know what you decide on.
