Heard these yesterday with Aries Cerat mono amps, dac, preamp and Pink Faun streamer, one of the best speakers I have ever heard. The video above is not the system I listened to.
That diamond tweeter was crystal clear and not harsh, but sweet. The soundstage was huge, with imaging to die for. The system was set up in an office warehouse setting, in fact I told the host to don't forget to throw out the guy hiding behind the crate when he locks up, that's how 3d the soundstage was. Now I only need to rob a bank :)

    Where did you hear these? Believe High Fidelity or a private system? They sound great. (Based on the video)

    Tom, the video came from YouTube, it is not the system I listened to.
    The guy had the system in a warehouse.
    I did a short video, Polk won't allow me to post it.

    I know exactly where you heard from.

    He’s a great friend of mine, part of the Dallas club.

    I was the one who egged him to go for the Kharma Midi. I also sourced him his Kronos table and that lovely SRA rack.

    David worked with him regarding cabling. But he has a massive near bottomless pocket. There’s a reason why he has AQ Dragons and a Zellaton in the back complete with a set of Schnerzinger wiring.

    If you ever talk to him, he will tell you that the impetus for his rapid system change from Joseph Audio Pearls to the Kharmas are partly because of what he heard at my place with the Magico bookshelves.

    I heard said system. The speakers themselves are from Mike Bovaird at Suncoast. The speakers are actually upgraded with Kharma Veyron midrange drivers. A previous version of this system was set up by Skip at one point and then I believe again by Clay with the Masters set up after his warehouse workers accidentally moved the speakers out of the way one day.

    His set up has a midrange I have not yet heard in ANY. Set up. Ever.

    What I know is that Skip has been by. Jays Audio Lab has been by. I heard a rough version about a month ago. I told him I felt like the imaging wasn’t there yet.

    Last I spoke to him and Jays Audio Lab at dinner, they said it was clicking on 8 cylinders.
