New EMM LABS transport
I would say for insurance purposes (Philips failures) at least you know you can get the CDSD fixed if something goes wrong. Pretty soon the cost will add up to what it cost to buy a new CDSD. Plus the time of being with out the Meitner optical tra... 
Lamm M 1.2 against Tenor 300 and Boulder 2060
Huh? Sorry Raul, but the Tenor Hybrids use tube drivers but use solidstate for the output. How can that be an equilizer? I heard the Halcros in Omaha and I was not impressed. Very low distortion which they also claim, but to me, not very musical. ... 
Lamm M 1.2 against Tenor 300 and Boulder 2060
My two cents if if means anything. I had the Tenor 300's and Randy brought his OTL's over my place. To make a long story short Randy as you know is the proud owner of the 150 Hybrid and he is very particular about the midrange like me, plus the ba...

Thanks Frank! Yes this thread has been very entertaining. LOL! I will always have special thoughts for both pairs of Kharma's I had the joy of owning.This hobby never ceases to be fun and now that these new VR's will be very heavy maybe I will be ...

Well, Gladstone you are the second person I know of in two days who has ordered the jr's. This other person went from Kharma's 3.2's to jr's. The world is getting smaller! 
Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA
Frank, I see your point about comparing a speaker by the same company. So, yes, it is unfair to make any comparison to a speaker that has not been built yet. I never listed my Kharma's for sale. They sold without listing like they did with you and...

Hiya Frank,I am not getting the VR-11's. I am getting the VR-9's which are half the price of the 11's, 2/3 the size, and use the same drivers. The 9's are what I was comparing the Midi's too. Yes, there are no 9's built yet but I am told by Kevin ...

You're right Brian. It is about preferences and I am sure most dealers do have that dealer/customer dealer/manufacturer relationship. You have this relationship too don't you? I am not saying the Kharma's are not great. They are but I liked what I... 
Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA
You both obviously have not heard the VR-11's. I am able to hear what the best my gear can put out. I had the reviewed pair of Kharma Midi Grands with Enigma that Frank P wrote in on Stereotimes. I find the Von Schweikert to my ears, compared to t... 
Why the switch from Kharma/Tenor to DarTZeel/VSA
I still have Tenor. I heard the VR-11 in San Marcos and thought the VR-9 would be a nice fit for me. There is still nothing better in digital so Emmlabs is still tops.

I live on Lake Panorama. 
Tenor or Lamm hybrids for alternative rock ?
I had the Tenor 300's and I switched to two 150's. I prefer the 150's. I had the Kharma Midi Grands with Enigma. While they are a super speaker and do lots of things right, -I like Hooper - I'm going with the VR-9's. Right now I am listening to th...
