Hi
Yes indeed , the Kharma DB9s is a great speaker, i have heard them in the factory in Breda.
But it was above my budget, so i bought the Kharma DB7 S, and i am very happy with them .
Gratulations , and enjoy them , it,s a good sounding speaker, they are new ?
It will take some time , before the speakers will come to there full potential, my speakers did take it several weeks,
I must tell you that the last Kharma production was in my taste a little disappointing. My system got in the past three different speakers from Kharma (3.2; 2.3 and Grand Ceramique), this was during 2005-2015 and in these years the Dutch brand had a great success and was very well regarded by music lovers. I loved many speakers with the ceramic Accuton drivers.
I listened to DB-7, DB-9 and DB-11 from the past Italian importer, often partnered with Vitus amps; none of them satisfied me. Too dark in the upper mid-highs, a little bit costrained; I find that they require a large amount of watts in order to sounds live; at moderate levels they were a little bit dead in dynamics.
Also the demo in Kharma's room in Munchen 2017 confirmed me a sound just too dark (and they demonstrate the new small Veyron model... > 100 K... ).
About external appearance otherwise... simply stunning and superb; probably the best in the high-end audio.
Just IMHO ... obviously...

Espen ,your are right in my opinion about the kharma,s
I also underscribe the meaning of Stereotimes ;
The longer I listened, the more I appreciated them. The dB9-S’s ability to get out of the way and embrace the music will remain unforgettable. The KharmadB9-S’s are highly recommended!

I was so impressed with Kharma Elegance DB9s that I have now bought them

Hi Marco
Everything is taste, I did not like Kharma so much as they used accuton drivers! They became clearly better with Omega driver after my ears. I have owned in my living room Burmester B50 and B80 and Magico Q3 + Qsub and Q5 and Sonus Faber Stradivari and MBL 116F.
Kharma Elegance DB 9s are much better speakers after my ears of all those i`ve had! but that`s my taste on my equipment
(sorry for my english writing)
