I own a pair of the Arcs. Small but certainly not a diminutive sound. I have owned larger speakers that could not keep up in terms of bass, dynamics and over all power. They are very neutral but not boring or lifeless. The are very "un-boxy" sounding , with great insight and coherence. Absolutely the best speaker I have owned. Must be considered one of the best dynamic (box) speaker brands available. Have not listened to Karmas.
