Kharma 3.2 CRM FE and which power amp?


Hello.
I have opened few treads about CAT JL-2 Mk2 power amps and how it match to Wilson W/P 6,7 speakers.
I consider Kharma 3.2 CRM FE are very good speakers,too.
Different from Wilson but great.
My question is which power amp will be the most appropriate for this speakers? I know Tenor 75Wi is superb match with 3.2 but how would be with CAT JL-2 Mk2 or Lamm ML2/2.1? Is Tenor more rich sounding than CAT and Lamm or am I wrong? I prefer Transparent cabling in case of W/P 7 but how would be with Kharma speaker. I suppose it is not a big difference but a big enough to make mistake.
I can not go to dealer and listen to this combinations otherwise I will not ask you for help!

Thank you for your response.

I have the 3.2's with the Kharma Sub. I am currently driving them with the Lamm M1.2 hybrids, which were a replacement for the JL2. The CAT was a wonderful match with the 3.2's. But after a problem with the amp, and a poor response from CAT, I went out to GTT and listened to the Lamms. I can tell you that the Lamms do everything the CAT did with the addition of better control of the bass. The CAT does excel in this area, but it is a tube amp, and it just can't compete with the 1.2's. The highs are extended, and free of grain, and the midrange is just as smoothe. Asonicyouth is right in that Kharma does voice it's speakers with Lamm's. The synergy is obviously outstanding.
I know we all have our own tastes and preferences but I must join the others in saying that the Kharma/Lamm combination is a match made in heaven. I HAVE owned the Tenor 75s and I STILL own the Tenor 300HP Hybrids. They are both wonderful amps. BUT, the REAL music comes from my Lamm 1.2 Refs. I owned the Lamm 1.1s for many years but I preferred the Tenors on my former Midi-Grands. On my Exquisites, the Lamm 1.2s outclassed everything. BUT, these aren't the kind of amps that you will necessarily flip over right from the get go. However, the more you listen to them the more you not only appreciate what they DO, but what they DON'T do as well. One of the things they DON'T do is exaggerate or hype up the sound while still offering incredible resolution in an effortless and natural way. They also don't cause any listener fatigue after hours of listening.
Thank you for response.
It is tough decision!
I heard that Lamm ML2 with own 18watts dont give enough dinamics in medium listening rooms.
fmpnd: you spoke about lamm hibryd apm with 110w in class A?
I can only say what I heard. Tenor was for me pure music, natural,transparent,clear with super dinamics,speed,timbre and so on. And it was enough power when needed!
You dont mentioned cables. I like Transparent Refernce MM very much with W/P 6,7 but with Kharma 3.2 F Enigma, who knows??
Any reccomenations?

Who told you this? For the record, my room is 22x40 ft. approximately and I have not experienced this to be true for what I mostly listen to at the volume levels I feel are sane. I think you would be surprised what they can do re dynamics with the Kharmas. What size is your room and what kind of music do you listen to?
I also own the 3.2's and have owned several amps with these speakers. The list includes Joule Electra Grand Marquis, Lamm ML1.1 and Lamm ML2. Ultimately, I have settled on the ML2's which easily drive the 3.2's in my 18x23 listening room.

For cabling I use Purist Dominus Rev. C which work very well. I also have auditioned the Kharma Enigma cable and it too is superb.
