I would say the point of diminishing returns occurs with the cheapest speaker possible. Iet's say $1. You go from silence, to music. Its downhill from there...
I have heard these extensively. The Magico M9 is better.
Better in which way?
(A curious, not a skeptical question.)

More lifelike. Like musicians are in the room.

Please define "bold statements". Is this not one.I have heard well over one million dollar systems that you could not pay me to listen too.
It was at a level beyond Alon just having a good room. There was lifelike detail, perfect soundstaging, and an effortless sound I had never experienced before.Lee, How much of this could be the listen room or system?
I have not heard the magico M 9 , but looking at the discrepancy i have with reviewers ( wilson for example) i would put always " imo " in between is and better.
Facts dont really exist in reproduced audio
In terms of size, or three-dimensionality, or both? Or in addition due to other parameters, like body of sound, timbre or dynamics?
I think the in my opinion is always implied on these posts. That said, I have never heard the Kharmas reproduce sound in the way that the M9s did. By the way, I did not like their custom-built room at the Munich 2018 show either.
I have heard the exquisite s in the kharma factory / show room several times in NL , also at a dealer in NL years ago .
The kharma room in munich wasn t good in 2023 either .
(Regarding magico probably no M9 in munich 2024 either)
@ It takes dedication to make them sing , but they are a good building block to my ears

This thread is about "Diminishing Returns". That means the curve is not linear... it starts to plateau. Yes.... $50K or $100K or $400K speakers do sound better..... 2x or 4x better... Nope! The impovements are incremental... not monumental.. !!
The best way to improve your speakers is to fix your room!
The point is 130 K euros .
Unfortunately Lee s magazineshavehad a much higher point , as kharma dioesn t advertise much so i assume they dont get much credit.
For the rest keep the money in your pocket , buy a nice Mc laren

Many many occasions staring in 2004 with the exquisite classic on Lamm at the factory/ show room in breda .Can you tell us with some detail what is your experience with the complete range of Kharma speakers?
