    THE EXPERIMENTAL KHARMA 2 MILLION DOLLAR LOUDSPEAKERS THAT HAD 30 CABINETS JUST IN ONE SIDE (LEFT) AND ANOTHER 30 (RIGHT) MADE IN 1992 AND TESTED IN 1994....YOU GUYS CAN LOOK THAT UP...IT WAS TESTED IN A HUMONGOUS MANSION...I FORGOT THE NAME....ONLY ONE WAS EVER MADE TO PRODUCE TO MOST REALISTIC SOUNDSTAGE AT CONCERT LEVELS IN A HOME...
    I THINK THE AMPLIFIER WATTAGE, STACKED WAS 30, 000 WATTS RMS PER CHANNEL...
    THE NUMBER TWO IS GERMAN PHYSIKS GAUD FLAGSHIP using the DDD DRIVER OR BENDING WAVE DESIGN from the walsh coherent line source...AT WHOPPING 1000LB EACH...FORKLIFT ANYONE?

    GENESIS FLAGSHIP THAT RESEMBLES THE VINTAGE INFINITY flagship RS SERIES THAT COST $60K in the 80's


    NOTE: THE KHARMA that costed $2 million in 1994 WILL BLOW ANY HIGH END SPEAKER AWAY AT ANY LEVEL....it wasn't intended for consumer USE, it was a DARE by audio engineers and experts to the founder of kharma to see IF SUCH DESIGN WAS POSSIBLE? some extremely WEALTHY investor DARED him and INVESTED ON THIS PROJECT. I can only imagine how it sounded!!!!

    The GERMAN PHYSIK'S GAUD IS MORE POWERFUL than any of the other high end speakers mentioned here, far more (excluding the kharma) that can hold thousands of wattage rms. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FOR $225K ?
    next to that is the LORELEY AT $95K some lucky guy bought one for $29k used at audiogon a month or so ago....from what i read since I OWN OHM WALSH 2xo's,
    the GERMAN PHYSIK'S create a 3 dimensional LIFE LIKE IMAGERY MORE THAN ANY HIGH END SPEAKER ON THE MARKET PERIOD! Both flagships are HUGE!

    Dear Mr.Army, your post is even to arrogant for my taste. And acording to some people i am the Nr.1 arrogant jerk on this site! So take a seat in the line behind me :cornut: You shouldnt post speakers over 800$ here otherwise some (not all) members get upset and will argue to the death a Paradigm 40 vs. a Genesis 1.1 and talk about personal preference.!!

    I can agree on the Kharma, eventough we both know that we havent heard it yet. Speakers listed there like the Dunlavy SC-V, Martin Organ, NFR 345R, Genesis 1.1 or IRS-V are all statements. But for instance the Apogee Grand, Fullrange and DIVA, Martin Logan Statement, Prodigy, Soundlab U1, Perigee Definitive, Acoustat 2+2's etc.. is on paar with everyone of these systems. Some of them are better in some areas and some are worse.

    This is what i am talking about, when i say "Reference".

    Thanks for a good post!

    PS: If you wanna hear some of the gear on this site, let me know my friends own a bit of that. *Goldmund, Jadis, IRS, Dulavy, Apogee, Krell Reference, Kharma and Etallon ;-)

    Dusty Chalk
    O'Heocha D2-ISO-5XCT
    Kharma Ceramique (couldn't care less about the million dollar system)
    JBL K2 S9800

    Ones that I've already heard, otherwise would be in this list:

    Focal Grande Utopia (local dealer)
    Nearfield Pipedreams (local dealer)

    #4's:

    Martin Logan top-o'-the-line
    McIntosh ridiculous system

    Since I own PSB's i'm curious to see if the PSB Platinum 8T is a really true high end speaker or not.

    #2 would be the B&W Nautalis 800D or 801D's

    And I am curious about electrostats, ribbons and planars... so # 3 would be those Apogee Diva Reference of Florians. I was impressed with a set of Acoustat Spectra 22's so I can only imagine how transparent and revealing the Divas sound.

    Oh Yeah....the Proac D100 too !

    I would like to hear the B&W Nautilus,Wilson Grand Slams ,Genesis Advanced Technologies 5.2 loudspeakers.I would want to hear these with the biggest baddest BAT AMPS and Preamp,Sony SACD Reference Player and a DVD-Audio Pioneer Elite with Audioquest Interconnects and decent 12 guage speaker wire.Plus I would want to hear what they sound like on a state of the art turntable and a excellent cartridge with Blueback LP's
